| 2015-04-05 |
| [RUDAW.NET] Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi says the military will begin arresting and prosecuting anyone who loots abandoned properties in the newly-recaptured city of Tikrit. Saddam Hussein's hometown was recaptured by Iraqi forces Wednesday, ending a nearly 10-month occupation by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... murderous Moslem group. Most of the city's homes remain abandoned and cases of looting from homes and businesses were reported within hours of the military victory. In a statement Friday, al-Abadi said security forces must ensure that normality is restored quickly so that the city's residents can return to their homes. |
