With about 35 people being reported killed per day -- by their own numbers, although the real number of Iraqis killed per day is 300 -- the shit War Dailies report this?
This?
New York Times: "A bomb near a bus station in the eastern Baghdad neighborhood of Baladiyat killed four civilians and wounded more than a dozen, witnesses said. Accounts of the death toll varied, with The Associated Press reporting that 13 had been killed in the blast.
The American military said it had captured a “highly sought individual” whom it suspected of belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Soldiers captured the man in a raid before dawn in Karbala. The military said it suspected him of coordinating the transport of Iraqis into Iran for training in insurgency tactics and of aiding militants in Baghdad.
The soldiers also seized computers, communication devices, documents and photographs.
[There is your SETTING UP Iran, right here!
Phony up the "evidence" so Bush can attack Iran!
Go ahead, and take your place in history, Anti-Christ asshole!]
Boston Globe: "A car bomb killed at least 13 people in a Shiite part of Baghdad. At least 44 Iraqis were killed or found dead nationwide Wednesday, according to police reports. The toll marked an uptick in the daily death toll.
The deadliest attack Wednesday occurred when a roadside bomb exploded along a busy highway during the morning rush hour in the eastern Baghdad district of Baladiyat. A medic at a nearby hospital said 13 people died, but a police officer put the figure at 15.
Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to release the information.
A man who identified himself only as Amjed, his right shoulder was bandaged and left arm in a sling. told Associated Press Television News from his hospital bed:
"We heard a big explosion and I saw many people get injured — I was one of them. We're poor people, we're already suffering enough from the hardships of life — and now this. I'm fed up with those who plant bombs and target people."
American soldiers were killed in an eastern section of Baghdad during combat operations. Other Americans were killed and wounded during fighting in western Baghdad, the U.S. command said.
[HOW MANY Iraqis were killed, shitters? I don't care about American lives!
The Amurkn public gonna put up with this mass-murdering liar and his escalations?
Then EAT YOUR WAR DEAD, fuckers!!!
Early yesterday, U.S. forces captured an Iraqi believed to be working with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps's elite Quds Force to supply Shiite militias with Iranian-made weapons, said Maj. Winfield Danielson III.
The suspect is also believed to have helped transport Iraqis to Iran for "terrorist training," Danielson said in an e-mail. The military said it is believed that he is "closely linked to individuals at the highest levels" of the Quds Force.
[Same old, same old! That's where my paper ended.
Here is the rest from the web:]
Elsewhere, officials in Sulaimaniyah announced that they had indefinitely postponed the start of classes for primary and secondary schools in an effort to prevent the further spread of cholera in the northern province. Since the disease broke out in mid-August, nine people have died and some 70 others have been confirmed with cholera. Another 4,000 are suffering from symptoms like severe diarrhea and vomiting.
[Oh, things are JUST SWELL in Iraq!]
Cholera is a gastrointestinal disease that is typically spread by drinking contaminated water and can cause severe diarrhea. In extreme cases, that can lead to fatal dehydration. In this case, U.S. military medical officials have said the area water does not seem to be contaminated and it is not yet certain how it is being spread."
[Yup, WE DON'T KNOW HOW these people are being poisoned!]
Here are more web reports.
This one from the NY Times' International Herald Tribune:
"U.S. Special Forces fight suspected Shiite militiamen; 14 reportedly killed" by the Associated Press September 5, 2007
BAGHDAD: American and Iraqi Special Forces clashed with suspected Shiite militiamen Thursday in western Baghdad before calling in airstrikes, the U.S. military said. Residents and police said at least 14 people were killed.
Acting on intelligence information, the U.S. and Iraqi troops launched the early-morning raid in the capital's Washash area. As the troops entered the area they came under fire from more than a dozen militiamen firing from the rooftops.
The military said: "Iraqi and U.S. forces then responded with well-aimed and suppressive fire. Forces also directed proportional aerial fire onto targeted buildings against positively identified armed gunmen directing small arms fires onto the assault force. Four buildings were damaged, including two enemy strongholds that sustained major damage and two surrounding buildings that sustained moderate damage."
There was no mention of any civilian or suspected insurgent casualties in the statement, and the military did not respond to requests for clarification. Local police said 14 people died.
Video from Associated Press Television News showed houses with their roofs caved in, and others completely destroyed.
A middle-aged man, standing next to a hole in his roof, as he waved a piece of shrapnel he had found and pointed next door, told APTN:
"Three people were killed in that house. The Iraqi parties are quarreling over power and the people are dying. We are fed up."
After a period of relative calm, there has been an uptick in violence in recent days.
In eastern Baghdad on Thursday, a roadside bomb injured four civilians and damaged a civilian car and U.S. troops sealed off the area after the attack.
Also in Baghdad, a roadside bomb exploded next to a group of construction workers in the predominantly Shiite area of Zafaraniyah, killing one and injuring five others.
And authorities made the grisly discovery of five bodies — two in Baghdad's southern Dora area and three in the western Amil area — all blindfolded with their hands bound, and shot in various places, police said.
In Tikrit, 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad, a car bomb near a gas station killed two civilians and wounded 14 others, police said.
[That's a LOT of VIOLENCE the Times and Globe "missed," huh, reader?]
At the scene of the U.S. operation in Washash, a black-cloaked woman wailed against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government as she picked through rubble next to her house.
She screamed: "Damned be the government, curse be upon Maliki."
Residents reported hearing explosions at around 3 a.m. that then went on for about 45 minutes to an hour. A police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity for security reasons, said U.S. helicopters had attacked the area, killing 14 civilians and injuring 10 others.
There was confusion at the scene, however, as some residents said they thought it had been a mortar attack and said 27 people had been killed. Others said U.S. airplanes were involved.
One woman said: "U.S. helicopters bombed our homes while we were sleeping. My son and my husband were killed and our house was destroyed."
[NOOOOOOO!!!
O', Fatima!!!! Why must the Iraqis suffer so?!?!]
Nearby Yarmouk hospital said it had received seven people wounded in the attack, while Kadimiyah hospital said it had three.
In several operations targeting al-Qaida in Iraq's operational networks, U.S. troops killed six terrorist suspects and detained 25 others, said U.S. spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Garver.
During one raid in Baqouba, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad, one suspect who was apprehended is believed to be responsible for bombing and ambush attacks on U.S. forces and Iraqi civilians, Garver said. According to U.S. intelligence reports, the cell member helped place snipers and set up illegal checkpoints used to kidnap civilians and hold them for ransom, he said.
Elsewhere, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said it had captured a suspect in the bombing of the twin minarets at Iraq's prized Golden Dome shrine in Samarra. Aws Tariq Fareed al-Samaraei had fled Iraq following the attack and was arrested after he returned in a northern region of the country on Wednesday night, Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Kareem Khalaf said on Iraqiya TV.
[Yeah, they get the guy, not him, kill the guy, oh, not him.
It's like Osama!
These guys got a million lives because THEY ARE FICTIONAL ACTORS!!
Agents!!!]
The U.S. military said in early August that it had killed the al-Qaida in Iraq leader behind the bombing — Haitham Sabah Shaker Mohammed al-Badri."
Here's more information on the U.S. slaughter!
"US strikes in Baghdad kill 14 sleeping civilians" by AFP - Thursday, September 6
BAGHDAD (AFP) - - US combat helicopters and tanks bombarded a Baghdad neighbourhood in pre-dawn strikes on Thursday, killing 14 sleeping civilians and destroying houses, angry residents and Iraqi officials said. US helicopters fired on houses in the Al-Washash neighbourhood of Mansour district in west Baghdad between 2:00 am and 3:00 am.
Abu Ali Saad, a 35-year-old resident of the mainly Shiite enclave, told AFP that US military vehicles had arrived in large numbers in Al-Washash during the night:
"There were tanks and armoured vehicles and many troops. The tanks started firing then the helicopters came. Missiles were fired from the air. Houses were destroyed. A family of five were killed in this house. We are a peaceful neighbourhood. There are no militia here. There were no exchanges of fire. We were all sleeping."
Iraqi and US forces suffered no casualties. An AFP photographer on the scene said three houses were destroyed and two damaged.
Amid the rubble of one house was a mattress covered in blood with human body parts scattered about. Neighbours said a family of six had been killed in the house, including a 12-year-old girl.
[NOOOOOOO!!!!
O, Fatima, you now have tears to gather!!!
I CONDEMN AmeriKa and its GOVERNMENT!!!]
Bloodstains could also be seen amid the wreckage of the other houses, where angry residents gathered to denounce the US military.
Ammar Assem: "They prevented me from trying to get two of my wounded neighbours to hospital. They fired on my car when I tried to leave the area. I had to go back."
In other violence, a bomb exploded near a line of workers seeking daily employment in Baghdad's southeastern Zafaraniya district, killing one worker and wounding five.
In Tikrit, 130 kilometres (80 miles) north of Baghdad, a car bomb aimed at a police patrol killed two civilians and wounded 17, police said.
In Hawra Haajab village on the southern outskirts of Baghdad, meanwhile, two suspected members of Al-Qaeda were killed and two captured during an operation launched early Thursday by a US cavalary unit.
Captain Chad Klascius who is leading the assault, told AFP:
"We've moved into the town and are taking it back. We are trying to push Al-Qaeda out. We are shooting machine guns and they are returning fire as well as shooting mortar rounds. We have killed two Al-Qaeda and have around 30 detainees, two of whom have confessed to being Al-Qaeda."
