4085, Voice of Iraqi Kurdistan, Salah al-Din near Mosul, Iraq. While the Kurdistan Democratic Front is approaching Mosul supported by U.S. Special Forces, I heard for the first time a message in English via this clandestine. On Apr 05 at 2000-2022 there was as usual a long proclamation against Saddam Hussein in Arabic. This was followed by military band music and an eight minutes long, but badly modulated message in U.S. English about the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, instructions to Iraqis on how to safeguard themselves and not provoke fatal incidents at Coalition checkpoints, and requirement that prisoners of war should be treated according to the Geneva Conventions. After Kurdish music the station signed off 2033. 44443 (Petersen)
