| Iraq Qaida Escapee 'Led Raid that Killed Own Brother' |
| 2013-08-09 |
| [AnNahar] An al-Qaeda inmate who beat feet from Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison led Death Eaters who killed his own brother and 10 others overnight, a general said on Thursday. The attack was the first attributed to one of more than 500 former prisoners, including senior al-Qaeda members, who escaped last month in a major security breach that analysts say may bolster krazed killer groups. On Wednesday night, a group of Death Eaters went to the house of a policeman in Tikrit, north of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... , took him into the garden and executed him, army Staff Lieutenant General Abdulamir al-Zaidi told Agence La Belle France Presse. The policeman's brother, an al-Qaeda member whose name was not given, led the group of killers, apparently in Dire Revenge™ for being informed on. The Death Eaters then bombed the house and left a boom-mobile at the scene which went kaboom!after a crowd of people arrived, killing 10 and wounding 58. Zaidi said a file indicated the policeman had informed on his brother, who was locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! three years ago for multiple bombings and killings and given two death sentences, but who escaped during a mass breakout in July. Militants assaulted Abu Ghraib prison west of Storied Baghdad and another in Taji, to the capital's north, on the night of July 21. Officials said more than 500 inmates escaped and over 50 prisoners and members of the security forces were killed in the assaults, which were claimed by al-Qaeda front group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The assaults and jailbreaks highlighted the growing reach of Death Eaters and the worsening security situation. "The prison attacks demonstrate that the security forces are poorly resourced and unable to protect what should have been well-defended facilities," said John Drake, an Iraq specialist with risk management firm AKE Group. "The release of inmates could also bolster the ranks of the Death Eaters and increase their capabilities, both in Iraq and in neighboring Syria." Violence killed almost 1,000 people in July, government figures show, making it Iraq's deadliest month since April 2008. Attacks have markedly increased this year, especially since an April 23 security operation at a Sunni Arab anti-government protest site that sparked festivities in which dozens died. Protests erupted in Sunni-majority areas in late 2012, amid widespread discontent among Sunnis who accuse the Shiite-led government of marginalizing and targeting them. Analysts say Sunni anger is the main cause of the spike in violence this year. In addition to security problems, the government in Storied Baghdad is also failing to provide adequate basic services such as electricity and clean water, and corruption is widespread. Political squabbling has paralyzed the government, which has passed almost no major legislation in years. |
