Iraq-Jordan
Brigades of Iraqana
2005-01-11
From Hammorabi...
The terrorists and those who supported them may not to be from now on as immune as they wish neither they may be safely relaxed in deep sleep.

A new secret organization called (Brigades of Iraqana) issued a statement today threatened to attack and kill the terrorists and their supporters from now on.

They stated that they got the names of many terrorists who where involved in destroying the Iraqi facilities and involved in criminal acts which were collected over the last few weeks based on strong evidence.

They also stated that 3000 dollars is the reward for each head of the small criminals while they put 50,000 dollars for the head of Hareth Al-Thari and the other members of the (Haiyat Olama Al Moslemen) also Abd-Amer Rikabi and Abd Jabar Al Kobaisi.

On the other hand and for the first time Al Arabyia TV showed a group of terrorists captured by the Iraqi forces. They confessed that they were involved in decapitation processes, kidnappings, killings and other attacks. They clam that they have been forced to do so or be killed by the Amer (a title which is usually referred to some one like Zarqawi or his deputies). One of them asked for mercy and pity!!
They confessed about beheading some victims by mentioning their names!

In a press conference Iyad Alawi told that among the arrested terrorists is the leader of (Jaiash Mohamad) who is responsible for many beheadings and attacks and also Saudi terrorist.

In Mosel an iron fist starts to strike the heads of the thugs and we may see imminent strike soon.

In Baghdad the deputy chief of Police has been killed today with his son who is also a police officer.

On the same time Insar Al-Sunnah group released a video of execution of what is look like an Iraqi Shiite. It looks like they accused him of selling opiates

#14  I doubt if the Iraqi Police will waste many tears and much time investigating the deaths of the people who try to kill them and their families. Payback's a bitch guys.

#13  As I said a few weeks back -- only to be lectured on things I didn't intend or say by one of our vigilant nitpicking small-picture NYT-level commenters who shall remain nameless -- a whole lot more pay-back and revenge-killing by Shi'a and Kurds might be quite beneficial to Iraq in the long run. There's been a remarkable and very disappointing lack of same since April '03. Recall that Japan and Germany were much easier to pacify and transform in part because such huge percentages of their hardcore a**holes were dead by war's end.

Vigilantism directed against genocidal fascist thugs in the current Iraqi context would hardly be a material obstacle to building institutions -- in fact spreading the love to mafia types might help give the fledgling police more time to gain their footing.

The corruption, passivity, and lack of trusted leadership that plague Iraq's attempts to build an effective and decent police force are serious obstacles, but some well-executed vigilantism against Sunni revanchists (and criminal elements of all stripes) will not affect these fundamental factors.

#12  Sounds good, but then so did Castro in 1959. Let's wait and see what the lads accomplish.

#11  The Feds might look askance on any moneys going from US citizens to foreign parts for any non governmental purpose even if the intentions are good.

I beleive it's a federal offence.

#9  Seems to me I heard similiar noises in Febraury/March 2004. That turned out to be Sadr, the puppet dancing from one hand of Iran, while Zarqawi danced from the other.

#8  If the Iraqana kill AQ and AIF and increase stability while decreasing terrorists I'd be honored to throw in a few bucks.

#6  The other half wonders if supporting vigilante groups might undermine the formation of effective institutions under the nascent Iraqi government.

Who sez they are a vigilante group? Maybe this is the rumored american-backed Death Squad?

#5  I am also trying to decide whether the formation of the "Bridages of Iraqana" suggests that Iraqis are starting to take ownership of their Iraqi national identity, and defending their nation against threats to its security, or whether it is simply another manifestation of sectarianism, sort of a Al-Sadr bridade redux? I guess more info is needed...

#4  we must respect their culture and diversity.

#3  at least a toast to their success!!

#2  Would it be counterproductive to suggest that someone set up a website accepting donations for the Brigades of Iraqana? Half of me says this is a great idea, to unleash the prosperity of private US citizens to assist in stopping the insurgency. The other half wonders if supporting vigilante groups might undermine the formation of effective institutions under the nascent Iraqi government. Either way...if there were a way for us to finance this group, or provide a pool from which rewards for terrorists could be drawn, then I would feel that my dollars are being used much more effectively. Somewhere therein lies a market based solution...

Perhaps a matter of discussion at Rantapalooza!
