| Iraqi Sunni group accuses US of killing 29 civilians in fresh allegations |
| 2006-06-07 |
| US troops Tuesday faced fresh accusations of unlawful killings of civilians in Iraq, as the main Sunni Arab party accused them of murdering more than two dozen innocent Iraqis in a series of incidents across the country in May. "The US forces have violated human rights many times across Iraq," said Omar al-Juburi, spokesman for the human rights department of the Iraqi Islamic Party, which is led by Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi. In the latest in a string of allegations against US forces, Juburi said 29 Iraqis were killed in May in separate incidents involving US forces in the towns of Latifiyah and Yusifiyah, south of Baghdad, and in the capital itself. "On May 13, US forces launched an air assault on a civilian car in Latifiyah and killed six people inside the car," Juburi told reporters. "On the same day US forces attacked with aircraft the house of a civilian, Saadun Mohsen Hassan, and killed seven of his family members." Juburi said US forces carried out another air strike the next day on the house of Sheikh Yassin Saleh Shallal in the town of Yusifiyah, "killing 13 people, including women and children." Three other Iraqis were killed in US raids in Baghdad, he said. The nearby towns of Latifiyah and Yusifiyah have been the scene of increased insurgent activity and several US operations. |

| #9 I expect no less from the MSM, but look at who is making the allegation. We have the main Shia parties subverting the Govt for the Mullahs and now the main Sunni party suddenly playing the atrocity game, knowing it will be trumpeted by the MSM. Hell, if it weren't for the coalition forces, these worms would be on their way to Allan in far greater numbers, courtesy of the Shia shitheads. So who can tell them apart, anymore, in any meaningful way? Arabs. |

| #8 Zarq and hsigunsex muzzie followers have learned a thing. They have no compuction about killing innocent people but they know we do. The North Vietnamese used the same tactic. Any MSM clown who reports this stuff as fact should be taken out and shot. |

| #7 The way to counter them is to shoot them like the traitors they are, after a short trial of course. Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required. |

| #4 The press is nothing but another combatant. Our enemies have always known this. Too bad the American nation has forgetten this since WW2. |

| #3 Capt.: Unfortunately, the MSM don't give a $h!t. They really don't. The press finally got what they've been praying for and now it's open season on our troops. The Media Front has gone hot and we'd better figure a way to counter. I'm not hopeful....this has been our worst area of endeavour and our enemies have finally figured it out. This has to get turned around pronto or a gullible US public will be duped into accepting surrender. |

| #2 A pattern is developing on behalf of the gullible media. Zarq is stroking us for all he's worth. But who hides behind civilians and fires? Who beheads, shoots civilians in the head and stomach? And, who positions dead civilians for optimal impact? |
