MORE SUICIDE BOMBINGS AND ATTACKS IN IRAQ UNDERSCORE FRAGILE PEACE
This blogger was serverly criticized for publishing a video of a recent bombing in Baghdad that left 10 people dead and scores wounded.
We suggested the highly touted peace in Iraq is on the brink of collapse as the provincial Iraqi government struggles to hold elections next month.
Below is a reort from IRAQ TODAY http://warnewstoday.blogspot.com which proves the point I was making the other day.
Iraq is in a free fall and there is already talk in some quarters that U.S. troops will have to stay in IRAQ longer than President Obama anticipated.
Reported security incidents Baghdad MONDAY AND YESTERDAY.
#1: An explosion late Monday targeted the Baghdad political office of al-Ahrar, a party that includes followers of anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, police said. Punched-out round holes in the office walls indicate that at least two rockets were fired at the building, observers said. Officials blamed a roadside bomb for the explosion, which killed one person and wounded three, including Majid Hussein Taha - a director of the Ministry of Agriculture and a candidate running on the party's ticket.
#2: Two civilians were wounded on Monday evening in a sticky bomb blast in western Baghdad, a police source said. “A bomb, stuck by unknown gunmen to a civilian vehicle, went off near Sahet al-Aordon in western Baghdad, wounding two civilians and injuring the vehicle,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
#3: Three civilians have been injured in a house blast near the Iraqi capital Baghdad, a police source said on Tuesday. “Unknown gunmen blew up a house in Khan Dari area, west of Baghdad, destroying large parts of the house and wounding three civilians who were close by at the time of the bombing,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
Mosul:#1: A car bomb exploded Tuesday outside a police crime lab in northern Iraq, killing at least two people, Iraqi authorities said. The car bomb was parked outside a side entrance to the lab in Mosul, 225 miles (360 kilometres) northwest of Baghdad, said Lt. Col. Salim Ibrahim, an area commander. It wounded seven people, including five police officers, he said. The explosion knocked over concrete blast walls and caused minor damage to the building, Ibrahim said.
#2: Gunmen also opened fire on two Christian college students waiting at a bus stop in Mosul, killing one and wounding the other, a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
#3: Greengrocer Fatukhi Munir, an Assyrian Catholic, was gunned down inside his shop in a drive-by shooting late on Monday
#4: and armed assailants killed Rayan Salem Elias, a Chaldean Christian, outside his home on Sunday.

TALIBAN USING CIVILIANS AS HUMAN SHIELDS IN BATTLE FOR MARJAH
The Taliban have resorted to an old combat tactic of using civilians as human shields in the battle now underway for control of Marjah, Afghanistan.
Afghan Official: Taliban Using Human Shields
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
MARJAH, Afghanistan — Taliban fighters are increasingly using civilians as human shields in the assault on the southern town of Marjah, an Afghan official said Wednesday as military squads resumed painstaking house-to-house searches in the Taliban stronghold.
About 15,000 NATO and Afghan troops are taking part in the offensive around Marjah, which has an estimated 80,000 inhabitants and was the largest town in southern Helmand province under Taliban control. NATO hopes to rush in aid and public services as soon as the town is secured to try to win the loyalty of the population.
With the assault in its fifth day, insurgents are firing at Afghan troops from inside or next to compounds where women and children appear to have been ordered to stand on a roof or in a window, said Gen. Mohiudin Ghori, the brigade commander for Afghan troops in Marjah.
"Especially in the south of Marjah, the enemy is fighting from compounds where soldiers can very clearly see women or children on the roof or in a second-floor or third-floor window," Ghori said. "They are trying to get us to fire on them and kill the civilians."

12 AFGHAN CIVILIANS KILLED BY ERRANT U.S. ROCKET ATTACK ON MARJAH
The deaths are the first civilian casualties since the start of the 2-day-old attack on the Taliban stronghold of Marja. NATO says it is suspending use of the weapons system used in the deadly strike.

Reporting from The Outskirts Of Marja, Afghanistan, and Kabul -- As U.S. Marines battled Sunday to consolidate their hold on the southern Afghanistan town of Marja, Western commanders reported the first serious setback of the 2-day-old offensive: the deaths of a dozen Afghan civilians in an errant rocket strike.U.S. Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the commander of Western forces in Afghanistan, extended personal apologies to Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the deaths.
The fatalities represented the first large-scale episode of civilian casualties since the start of fighting in Nad Ali, the district in central Helmand province where Marja lies.

Gunbattles rage as Taliban fighters dig in
U.S. Marines face ‘death at every corner’ on second day of Afghan offensive
The Associated Press
updated 4:26 a.m. CT, Sun., Feb. 14, 2010
MARJAH, Afghanistan - Squads of Marines and Afghan soldiers occupied a majority of the Taliban stronghold of Marjah on Sunday, but gunfire continued as pockets of militants dug in and fought, military officials said.
The second day of the largest offensive since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan was characterized by painstaking house searches and sporadic fighting.
The troops cleared out booby-trapped houses one by one, advancing slowly down streets littered with thousands of homemade bombs and mines. Shots continued to ring out in some neighborhoods.
"We're in the majority of the city at this point," said Lt. Josh Diddams, a Marine spokesman. He said the nature of the resistance has changed from the initial assault, with insurgents now holding ground in some neighborhoods.
"We're starting to come across areas where the insurgents have actually taken up defensive positions," he said. "Initially it was more hit and run."
The Marjah offensive is NATO's most ambitious effort yet to break the militants' grip over their southern heartland.
TALIBAN DISGUISE THEMSELVES AS CIVILIANS IN BATTLE FOR MARJAH (WATCH VIDEO)
This is an alarming and frightening video because it explains how the Taliban in Marjah are going to avoid fighting U.S. and NATO troops by disguising themselves as civilians.
Because the Taliban doesn't wear uniforms just like Al Qaeda militants didn't wear uniforms in Iraq, the U.S. and NATO troops are finding it impossible to tell who is a member of the Taliban and who is just another Marjah civilian.
This is a must see video.
