Friends, You may recall our posting of 25 May: " Suicide bombers? No - U.S. planted explosives". In the report below, which appears to be credible, we find another smoking gun: the U.S. staging a savage terrorist incident in Iraq, and then exploiting it in the media to show how terrible the "insurgents" are, and explaining why we must "stay the course." rkm -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.aljazeera.com/cgi-bin/news_service/middle_east_full_story.asp?service_id=9361 U.S. forces behind deadly children bomb: Iraqi experts 7/18/2005 11:00:00 PM GMT Iraqi experts are saying that the recent car bomb that killed some 18 children was not the work of the anti-occupation fighters but of the U.S. occupation troops. A traffic lieutenant who asked not to be identified said to a media source that U.S. solders crazily raced out of the street less than a minute before the explosion and that after the blast they did not return to the bomb scene but continued to hurry out of the area. Furthermore, a captain in the fire department said the explosion was extremely powerful and left a big crater in the earth - something that other car bombs do not do. The captain stated that this was because the bombs used by the Iraqi resistance are made from Russian-made TNT that was in the possession of the Army of the Republic of Iraq before the U.S. occupation. According to the captain former soldiers are very familiar with the effects of such explosives, and know that during an explosion it blows upwards, not downwards, and for this reason U.S. forces prohibit the taking of photographs from the scenes of attacks where the effects of explosions are obvious. When the fire captain was asked to clarify his remarks and whether he was accusing the Americans of setting the blast, he replied, "The Traffic Stop Director for the area, Ahmad Kamal was fired because of his statement one hour after the explosion in which he said the U.S. forces were behind the blast. This was regarded as an 'irresponsible statement' by him and attributed to the fact that he had lost control of himself and had a breakdown after the bombing and to the fact that he is a Sunni and does not want to believe that what is happening in Iraq is 'terrorism'." -- ============================================================ If you find this material useful, you might want to check out our website (http://cyberjournal.org) or try out our low-traffic, moderated email list by sending a message to: •••@••.••• You are encouraged to forward any material from the lists or the website, provided it is for non-commercial use and you include the source and this disclaimer.
