U.S. FORCES IN IRAQ KILL IRAQIS TRAINING FOR SECURITY JOBS

In still another demonstration of FUBAR (ask one of the members of your family who was in the military what that means if you don't know), the U.S. military in Iraq has KILLED dozens of Iraqis who were in training to takeover security operations in Iraq.

This is just another story that will NEVER be covered by the mainstream media in the United States, especially FOX NEWS which is the mouthpiece of the Bush Administration.

Babel, Feb 16, (VOI) – The Sahwa (Awakening) tribal fighters staged a demonstration and announced their withdrawal from any activities in Hilla after three of them were killed by U.S. fire during a landing operation north of Hilla, an official source from Babel police said.


"U.S. forces conducted a landing operation in the area of Abad Weis in Jerf al-Sakhr, (60 km) north of Hilla. The U.S. soldiers opened their fire at a gathering of Sahwa men, killing three of them without any apparent reason," the source, who did not want his name mentioned, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).

"The U.S. forces killed 19 Sahwa fighters and wounded more than 12 others in just one month and a half," Sabah al-Janabi, the chief of the Sahwa forces in the area, told VOI.

"After each incident, the U.S. forces claim that it occurred by mistake. The U.S. side promises to offer an apology and compensations for the victims' relatives but does not fulfill these pledges," said Janabi.

"Therefore, we announce our withdrawal from the Sahwa council and leave any duty assigned to the Sahwa fighters," he stressed.

Hilla, the capital of Babel, lies 100 km south of Baghdad.
