Readers may remember the case a few months back of the British special forces
unit detained by Iraqi police after a shoot-out, dressed in Arab gear, their vehicle
packed with weapons, explosives and communications gear who were then broken out
of the police station by force of arms by the British occupation forces (what
did happen to that story?). Well it seems they're at it again Brit Agent Provocateurs? A report, in Arabic, dated 9/3/06 titled 'Basrah police capture three
British wearing Arabic garb' and dated March 12, 2006 talks of [A] police patrol in Basrah had captured, last Thursday (March 9, 2006)
night, three persons in the act of planting a bomb near the Iraqi Islamic
Party headquarters in Basrah. Upon investigation, they found out that the
three were British wearing Arabic garb in disguise. Immediately afterwards, the British army arrived and arrested the police
patrol along with their captives. The British then released the British
captives and detained the Iraqi policemen. Imad Khadduri Then there's the case, reported today (14/3/06) of Iraqi police detained an American private security contractor working
at a U.S. military base in northern Iraq for several hours on Tuesday, a U.S.
military spokesman said. BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Tue Mar 14, 11:45 AM ET The spokesman said the man was arrested at a checkpoint in the northern town
of Tikrit. He denied initial reports that explosives were found in the car,
but said two AK-47 assault rifles were in the vehicle. "He was picked up by Iraqi police after being detained at a checkpoint
in Tikrit," the spokesman said, adding police later released him. "We
are looking at why he left the base unescorted." Abdullah Jebara, deputy governor of Salahaddin province, earlier told Reuters
the man was arrested in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit on Monday and
that U.S. forces removed him from the provincial government building on Tuesday. The man was stopped by police for violating a daytime curfew in Tikrit, a
security source said. American security personnel rarely travel alone. A spokesman for the major crimes unit in Tikrit said he was first brought
to their headquarters but they refused to take him into custody, adding police
were told to take the man to the provincial council building. And in yet another disturbing report, we read Al-Sadr massacre - A CIA death squad operation – Fabricating
and instigating "civil war"? Muqtada Al-Sadr has pointed out that: "The American forces had provided an air cover, with several drones
circling the Sadr city, and then cutting off all wireless communication throughout
Sadr city, just before the setting off of the six car explosions that resulted
in the death of around 60 people and the injury of 200 others in Sadr city
on Sunday." Al-Sadr: The cars exploded under American air cover (In Arabic) March 13,
2006 - http://abutamam.blogspot.com You'll look in vain in the MSM for coverage of these stories, aside
from the brief report on Reuters but the pattern is clear and just adds to other
reports that many of the 'suicide bombings' are in fact the work of agents provocateurs
working for the occupation forces; operations that bear a disturbing similarity
to the use of Arab provocateurs working in the Occupied Territories of Palestine
for the Israelis. ___________________________ Editors Note: Original reports stated that explosives were found in
the vehicle of the detained US contractor. From "Truth
About Iraqis" US contractor arrested with explosives An American described as a security contractor arrested by police in a northern
Iraqi town was carrying weapons in his car, a provincial official said. Abdullah Jebara, the Deputy Governor of Salahaddin province, told Reuters
the man was arrested in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit on Monday. He
was removed from the provincial government building by U.S. forces on Tuesday,
Jebara said. The Joint Coordination Center between the U.S. and Iraqi military in Tikrit
said the man, whom it described as a security contractor working for a private
company, possessed explosives which were found in his car. It said he was
arrested on Tuesday. The man, driving a BMW, was stopped by police for violating a daytime curfew
in Tikrit, a security source said. American security personnel rarely travel
alone. A spokesman for the major crimes unit in Tikrit said the man was first brought
to their headquarters but they refused to take him into custody. The arresting police were told to take the man to the provincial council
building, the spokesman said, where he was taken by American forces. U.S. officials had no immediate comment. |
