Monday, May 23, 2005 - Yet another instance of an American 'terrorist act' in Iraq ... ?
Further to a previous posting , on May 16, 2005, "Combat terrorism" by causing it:
My summary translation:
"On Friday [May 13, 2005], a 64 years old Iraqi farmer, Haj Haidar Abu
Sijjad, took his tomato load in his pickup truck from Hilla to Baghdad, accompanied
by Ali, his 11 years old grandson. They were stopped at an American check point
and were asked to dismount. An American soldier climbed on the back of the pickup
truck, followed by another a few minutes later, and thoroughly inspected the
tomato filled plastic containers for about 10 minutes. Haj Haidar and his grandson
were then allowed to proceed to Baghdad.A minute later, his grandson told him
that he saw one of the American soldiers putting a grey melon size object in
the back among the tomato containers. The Haj immediately slammed on the brakes
and stopped the car at the side of the road, at a relatively far distance from
the check point. He found a time bomb with the clock ticking tucked among his
tomatoes. He immediately recognized it, as he was an ex-army soldier. Panicking,
he grabbed his grandson and ran away from the car. Then, realizing that the
car was his only means of work, he went back, took the bomb and carried it in
fear. He threw it in a deep ditch by the side of the road that was dug by Iraqi
soldiers in preparation for the war, two years ago.Upon returning from Baghdad,
he found out that the bomb had indeed exploded, killing three sheep and injuring
their sheppard in his head. He thanked God for giving him the courage to go
back and remove the bomb, and for the luck in that the American soldiers did
not notice his sudden stop at a distance and his getting rid of the bomb."They
intended it to explode in Baghdad and claim that it is the work of the 'terrorists',
or 'insurgents' or who call themselves the 'Resistance'.I decided to expose
them and asked your (Mufakirat al-Islam - Islam Memo) reporter to take me to
Baghdad to tell you the story.They are to be exposed as they now want to sow
strife in Iraq and taint the Resistance after failing to defeat it militarily.Do
not forget to mention my name. I fear nobody but God, as I am a follower of
Muqtada al-Sadir."
