From Jihad Unspun, an article by Muhammad Abu Nasr
.... The Office of the Martyr as-Sadr, the movement headed by Shiâi religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr, issued a statement on Tuesday in which it accused the US occupation forces and their stooges of being behind the âmassacreâ in Baghdad al-Jadidah that took place on Wednesday, 13 July, in which 32 Iraqi children were killed, and the bombing at a fuel station that killed dozens more civilians in al-Musayyib on Saturday, 16 July.
Regarding the massacre that occurred in the Baghdad al-Jadidah area in the eastern part of the capital Baghdad last Wednesday in which a bombing took the lives of 32 Iraqi children, involved in it were the hands of the American occupation and its collaborators who then accused what the occupation and its stooges called âterroristsâ of being responsible. We confirm that the American occupation in Iraq and its collaborators are the real killers of the Iraqi children and civilians in al-Musayyib and in Baghdad in the last few days.
The occupationâs aim in this is to destabilize the security situation to provide itself with an excuse and justification for continuing to storm cities, killing and driving people out of their homes and destroying their infrastructures, all in order to prolong the period of their presence on Iraqi soil.
.... In addition, the Board of Muslim âUlamaâ [Scholars], the highest Sunni religious authority in occupied Iraq accused the US of being responsible for the attack, as did the Shiâi al-Khalisi movement and a number of Iraqi politicians opposed to the occupation, following statements from the Iraqi Resistance saying that they had nothing to do with the attack and condemning the bombing. .... |
