Apparently, there was no violence in Iraq yesterday, according to the shit War Dailies.
I'm not highlighting because I get sick of debunking crap Zionist lies.
"Iraqis raid Sunni headquarters; Roadside blast hits US patrol, killing soldier" by Robert H. Reid/Associated Press November 15, 2007
BAGHDAD - Iraqi authorities seized the headquarters of the country's most influential Sunni clerical group yesterday, sealing off its west Baghdad compound and accusing the organization of supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq.
The group, the Association of Muslim Scholars, has long opposed the US military presence in Iraq and has often taken public positions in support of Sunni insurgent goals. The association spearheaded the Sunni boycott of the January 2005 elections and has frequently been at odds with the Shi'ite-dominated government.
The timing of the move suggests that the government is more confident it can take action against the hard-line Sunni clerics without risking a backlash within the Sunni community and reprisal attacks by Al Qaeda and other insurgent groups.
But it also coincided with a powerful blast that hit a US patrol in the center of Baghdad, a reminder that the capital remains dangerous despite notable gains in security in recent weeks.
The roadside bombing, near the Green Zone in the tightly controlled heart of the city, killed one American soldier and wounded five others, according to the US military. Police said two Iraqi civilians also died.
The attackers used one of the sophisticated penetrator bombs that the Pentagon contends are funneled to Shi'ite militias by Iran. US military officials say that after making important headway against Sunni extremists, Shi'ite gangs are increasingly their main foes in Baghdad.
US officials say American and Iraqi forces have taken control of all major Sunni neighborhoods in Baghdad where Al Qaeda and other Sunni insurgents once held sway, including Ghazaliyah, where the Um al-Qura mosque is located.
Last week, US-backed Sunni volunteers seized control of the Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah, which had been among the most dangerous for US and Iraqi forces. Speakers used mosque loudspeakers to call on the citizens to renounce Al Qaeda.
The raid on the clerical group began about 9 a.m. Iraqi security forces dispatched by the Sunni Endowment, a government agency that cares for Sunni mosques and shrines, surrounded the association's headquarters at the Um al-Qura mosque and demanded the staff leave by noon, the association said in a statement posted on its website.
The blast near the Green Zone was the biggest in central Baghdad in weeks and raised questions of how a bomb could have been planted in such a heavily guarded area, which includes a police station and the Foreign Ministry.
Easy: it was an INSIDE JOB -- like they ALL ARE, dammit!
Hours later, a car bomb exploded in northeastern Baghdad, killing one civilian and wounding seven others, police said.
Although violence in Baghdad appears down, Al Qaeda extremists have been escalating attacks in recent days against Sunni groups outside the capital that have thrown their support to the Americans.
In one of the latest attacks, a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest inside the guest house of an anti-Al Qaeda sheik, Amad al-Gartani, near Iskandiriyah, 30 miles south of Baghdad, killing the sheik and two other people, according to provincial police and Gartani's colleagues on the North Babil Awakening Council.
Such so-called awakening councils began with Sunni tribesmen fighting to oust Al Qaeda from their hometowns in Iraq's western Anbar Province. The movement has spread across much of Iraq and is credited with helping wrest many areas back from the network's control.
Late yesterday, a leader of one of the awakening councils on the northern outskirts of Baghdad told Al-Jazeera television that US soldiers killed dozens of his fighters during a 12-hour battle that began the night before near Taji, about 12 miles north of Baghdad.
Mansour Abid Salim of the Taji Awakening Council:
"The raids continued for more than 12 hours . . . despite the fact that, right from the first attack last night, we have continuously been contacting American commanders that they are hitting us, their friends."
WTF?! We don't even know WHO we are killing, huh?
Yeah, but it's not a war against Muslims or Islam!
FUCK OFF, AmeriKan MASS-MURDERERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
US officials said American soldiers killed 24 fighters and captured 16 in a battle that began late Tuesday after gunmen were seen "in the target area" where suspected Al Qaeda militants were believed hiding.
Large quantities of weapons including antiaircraft guns and surface-to-surface missiles were seized, the United States said, without indicating that the fighters were from a US-backed group."
Yeah, don't tell the media the truth, just claim MORE SUCCESSES, right?!
WHAT LYING STINKFUCKS the military and MSM are!
LYING STINKFUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
"Iraq to Spend $19 Billion on Projects" by ALISSA J. RUBIN
BAGHDAD, Nov. 14 — The conference about the budget was well attended despite the explosion of a roadside bomb just outside the gates of the city’s heavily protected Green Zone about 90 minutes before the session was to begin inside. The bomb killed two civilians, wounded three more and threw two police officers from their guard towers 150 feet away, the police said.
The explosion raised immediate questions about how such a device could have been planted in such a closely watched area.
It's known as an INSIDE JOB, dear!
Elsewhere in Baghdad, armed Iraqi guards seized a mosque that houses the headquarters of the Association of Muslim Scholars, a Sunni group that fiercely opposes the American occupation, the group and witnesses said. The group’s Web site said that shortly after 9 a.m., guards acting on orders of the Sunni Endowment, which oversees the country’s Sunni mosques, surrounded and entered the mosque, Umm al Qura, and ordered its immediate evacuation.
The motive behind the seizure was not clear, and calls to leaders of the Sunni Endowment were not immediately returned. The Association of Muslim Scholars has long opposed Iraq’s Shiite-dominated government, and it called for a boycott of elections last year.
In Turkey on Wednesday, Gen. Aydogan Babaoglu, the Air Force commander, denied that Turkish fighter jets engaged in cross-border operations on Tuesday, the day the Turks were reported to have bombed deserted Kurdish villages. Iraqi Kurdish officials, police officers and at least one witness said that there were loud booms in the area and that aircraft dropped either bombs or flares over the villages.
General Babaoglu said, speaking to the state-run Anatolian News Agency in northern Cyprus:
“I don’t know how the press comes up with such news. I was on duty at that time, and not a single plane of the Turkish Air Force was engaged in any kind of operation. There’s nothing like that. Such news absolutely has no grounds.”
Military liars. They're EVERYWHERE!
"Turkish Aircraft Attack Abandoned Iraqi Villages" by DAMIEN CAVE
BAGHDAD, Nov. 13 — Turkish military aircraft attacked a handful of abandoned villages in northern Iraq on Tuesday, Iraqi officials said, in the first confirmed cross-border assault since tensions between Turkey and Kurdish rebels began intensifying last month.
Turkish officials also said Kurdish militants in southeast Turkey had killed four Turkish soldiers and wounded nine in clashes.
It was unclear whether the confrontations were connected, but they appeared to signal a revival of the fighting between Turkish troops and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party.
The early morning Turkish attack, in and around the remote village of Zahku, killed no one and damaged little. Officials from Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region could not agree on whether helicopters or planes had been used, and they defined the assault as a scouting mission.
The Turkish government has massed tens of thousands of troops along Iraq’s northern border.
The attack on Tuesday occurred in Sirnak Province in the southeast, Turkish officials said. A statement posted on the Turkish Army Web site said that an operation in search of rebels continued.
American officials in Baghdad declined to comment on either attack. Leaders in Iraq’s autonomous region of Kurdistan questioned how Turkey could have crossed the border by air without American approval.
Also on Tuesday, American and Iraqi forces killed at least 15 gunmen in a fierce fight south of Baghdad. Military officials said as many as 45 fighters, with heavy machine guns, ambushed two checkpoints in Adwaniya, less than 10 miles south of Baghdad. The battle lasted for hours and stopped only when American jets dropped two 500-pound bombs on the area.
Also in Baghdad, the authorities said that five unidentified bodies were found across the city."
How about that lying Turkish general, huh? They are all fucking liars!
