*bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem **In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful *=== News Update === Another high-profile butchery Arablinks July 21, 2008 Iraqi police said<http://www.arabic.xinhuanet.com/arabic/2008-07/20/content_673915.htm>American forces broke into a home in Baiji district north of Tikrit in Salahaddin province, opened direct fire on the residents, shooting dead the 17-year-old son of the governor of the province and another relative, and wounding three other people who were sleeping. The official spokesperson for the province described this as a "criminal operation by any standard" and demanded an investigation and punishment of the killers. The governor told his office to suspend its administrative activities and any cooperation with the American forces. The above is from AlHayat, which adds the American boilerplate about having fired only after "having perceived hostile intent" on the part of the people whose house they had broken into, and that they were hunting for a person suspected of being an AlQaeda financier based on "intelligence". The piece in AlHayat, which is by no stretch of the imagination "anti-American," adds this: A resident of Baiji condemned the killings and the butchery that are committed from time to time by the American forces. Yunis Martada, owner of a shop selling refreshments near the house (in question) said this was not the first time the American forces have committed a butchery: "Every day there is a new butchery". Xinhuanet<http://www.arabic.xinhuanet.com/arabic/2008-07/20/content_673915.htm>says a statement issued by the provincial council included this: The Council of the Province of Salahaddin condemned the killing by the American forces of the Governor's son. In a statement, the council described the incident as an indication of the contempt on the part of the Americans for the lives of innocent Iraqis and their lack of verification of intelligence that comes to them, before acting on it".
