25 detained in Iraq over 2006 wedding killings
2011-05-30
[The Nation (Nairobi)] Iraqi security forces jugged dozens of alleged Al-Qaeda members accused of being behind a series of attacks, including the massacre of 70 people at a wedding party in 2006, a front man said today.

Among the 25 incarcerated was one suspected bad turban leader who security forces claim posed as a human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
activist who fought to improve prison conditions in a bid to elude capture.

"Our forces have incarcerated 25 of the 34 members of the cell, which is responsible for 15 different attacks," said the Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
security front man, Major General Qassim Atta.

The worst attack the group allegedly carried out was the systematic killing of a wedding party celebrating the marriage of a Shiite man and a Sunni woman in the town of Taji, north of Storied Baghdad, before disposing of their bodies in the Tigris River.

What? A water burial with no guarantee of facing Mecca? What an audacious insult to Islam! Somebody call Al Azhar to condemn this! Surely they'd be consistent on this point...
