Iraq PM warns of 'war of genocide' as attacks kill 48
2013-10-24
[Pak Daily Times] Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki warned on Wednesday that the country is facing a "war of genocide" after officials said bully boyz had killed 48 people in two days of attacks.

Violence has reached a level unseen since 2008, as Iraq emerged from brutal conflict between minority Sunni Mohammedans and majority Shias. Militants, including those linked to al Qaeda, a Sunni organization, frequently target security forces and other government employees.

"It has become clear... that Iraq is subjected to a war of genocide targeting all of its components," Maliki, a Shia, said in his weekly address.

Al Qaeda is once again "destroying the houses of citizens and killing them, and blowing up government departments," Maliki said.

But a front opposing the bad boy group "has begun to form in Iraq from different components... the security services and tribes and Sons of Iraq," he said, referring to anti-al Qaeda militiamen.

On Wednesday, gunnies killed six people in the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul, while five people were rubbed out in and near the city the day before.

In Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
, a roadside kaboom in the Ghazaliyah area killed at least three people and maimed 11 on Wednesday, and another killed four people and maimed at least nine in Madain, south of the capital.

Two Sahwa anti-al Qaeda gunnies were also kidnapped and killed in Kirkuk province.
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...


Anbar province, west of Storied Baghdad, was hit by a series of attacks late Tuesday that killed 28 people.

Four of them struck targets in and around the town of Rutba, about 110 kilometres (70 miles) from the border with Syria.

A jacket wallah detonated a tanker truck loaded with explosives at a police checkpoint east of the town, bully boyz armed with heavy weapons struck the cop shoppe in Rutba itself and another bomber detonated a vehicle at a police checkpoint to its west.

Those attacks killed 18 police and maimed 25, while three civilians died when another suicide bomber blew up a tanker truck on a bridge west of Rutba.

Gunmen also attacked a police checkpoint Tuesday night at an entrance to Ramadi, the capital of Anbar, and another inside the city, killing seven coppers and wounding an eighth.

The violence was just the latest in a series of coordinated attacks in Anbar.

On Monday, suicide bombers attacked the police and electricity department headquarters in Fallujah,
... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids...
another city there, after which bully boyz hit the cop shoppe with gunfire, mortar rounds and rocket-propelled grenades, and clashed with police.

The violence killed two police and maimed four others.

And on Sunday, eight suicide bombers attacked government buildings in Rawa, a town north of Fallujah, killing eight people, including three members of the local council and three police.

#7  This is just a mirror of the whole satanic mafia that is the Umma(islam)...it is the brothers against the brothers, the brothers vs their fathers and uncles, the families against the clans, the clans wars, the clans vs the villages, the villages war against the towns, the provinces' wars, the muslim countries vs the muslim countries, Shia versus the Salafi Sunnis, the Umma versus all the kuffar infidels...and this have been going on since the prophet pedophile, also a common thief, a rapist and genocidal assassin, the plague of the creation...anybody telling different is an accomplice and a secret stealthy muslim.

#5  I think Maliki is playing Captain Obvious with these comments.

Unfortunately for Iraq, which I think our Democratic leadership wants to fail because it was a Bush initiative, the current administrations abandonment of Iraq and coherence in policy is contributing to a war of genocide that is ONGOING and is occurring not as a future possibility but an on the ground reality.

The toxic mutual abhorrence of the Sunni and the Shi'ia will be the undoing of the entire Middle East if something is not done to bridge this gap and end the silliness of this 1200 year old war over the succession to the Prophet Mohammed...can you believe fighting over something that happened 1200 years ago and is so long gone and done that nothing can be done to change how the succession of leadership is determined?
