20 Iraqi Shites Crocked In Tater v. US Forces Clash (DEBKAfile)
2006-03-26
Speculation Alert: DEBKAfile

Iraqi police say SadrÂ’s militiamen tried to stop US troops from entering the Mustafa Mosque to make arrests. Witnesses say the dead were unarmed worshippers. The US military has not commented on that incident. At the same time American sources report US troops arrested in Baghdad Iraqi soldiers holding 40 hostages. No details provided of this incident.

In the Mull Eed village near Baquba, 30 mostly headless bodies were found on the main street, many of them shot. Another 13 bodies were found earlier Sunday in Baghdad. These episodes fit with the sectarian violence raging in Iraq since last monthÂ’s blast at the Shiite Golden Dome mosque in Samarrah.

#5  By now one might think Tatars'Tots would understand there is a huge difference between drawing down on unarmed Sunni a**holes, women and children and the US military.

#3  Looks like collaborative reporting from a different source:

US troops today arrested at least 40 Iraqi Interior Ministry forces who were holding 17 foreigners in a secret bunker complex, political sources said.

A Reuters reporter who approached the bunker complex today was turned away by Shiite militiamen.

It was not clear who the foreigners were but the Shiite-led Iraqi government has launched a crackdown on Sunni foreign fighters from Arab states it accuses of carrying out suicide bombings which have killed thousands of mostly Shiite Iraqis.

US troops last year found 173 mostly Sunni Arab prisoners held in a secret Interior Ministry bunker.

They showed signs of torture and malnourishment in a scandal that embarrassed the government.

Sunni Arab leaders accuse Interior Ministry forces of working alongside Shiite militias who run death squads, a charge the ministry denies.
