Drie Kruisvaarders afgeslacht in Bezet Khaldiya west van Baghdad

[Ezzedine]

US troops 'killed in Iraq attack' The truck drove over an explosive device At least three American soldiers have been killed in an attack on a convoy in the town of Khaldiyah, west of Baghdad, according to witnesses. A truck transporting troops was blown up by an explosive device on a road in the town, and soldiers were fired on as they tried to evacuate casualties, Iraqi sources said. The US military has not yet commented on the reports. Pictures from the scene showed a military vehicle burning fiercely as an American helicopter circled overhead. Khaldiyah is part the so-called "Sunni Triangle" where support for ousted dictator Saddam Hussein is strongest and has been the scene of frequent clashes involving US troops. Earlier, US soldiers in Iraq shot dead a 14-year-old boy and wounded several others after mistaking celebratory gunfire for an enemy attack, witnesses said. 'Sophisticated attack' According to witnesses, the transport truck blew up after it drove over a landmine or bomb. French news agency AFP quoted witnesses as saying several soldiers in the vehicle were burnt. As soldiers tried to evacuate the wounded, they were reportedly caught in a hail of gunfire. "A bomb exploded underneath a troop transport. It caught fire. The remainder of the convoy tried to continue and was hit by rocket-propelled grenades 500 metres [1600 ft] away," Khaldiyah resident Mahmud Ali told the agency. US forces sealed off the road and called in reinforcements, another witness said. The BBC's Owen Bennett-Jones, who is in Baghdad, says it was quite a significant attack and a more sophisticated than previous assaults because it involved a secondary attack on the Americans. 'Boy killed' In Falluja, US troops reportedly opened fire as guests at a wedding party shot their guns into the air, killing a 14-year-old boy. Witnesses said soldiers, believing they were under attack, formed a circle and began shooting. At least four people were injured, witnesses said. The reported incident fuelled tensions in the town, where opposition to America's presence in Iraq is strong. It comes days comes after the US apologised for accidentally shooting dead eight Iraqis and a Jordanian in Falluja, a stronghold of supporters of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Origineel gepost door El_Saima Ik kijk er ook elke dag naar uit. Je vervult mijn hart weer met plezier en ik bedenk in mijn gedachten hoe een roze varken in het Iraaks zand ver weg van mammie en pappie in een vreemd land zijn leven verliest. Dit ter bevestiging dat USA zijn Olie heel duur met veel Amerikaans bloed betaald. Edited by DonAgewan Zielige uitspraak, ik zeg niet dat Amerika Irak moest binnen vallen, zeker niet, ok, maar dat mensen kunnen BLIJ zijn met andere mensen hun bloed. FF tussendoeen "roos varken" ruikt wel een beetje naar RACISME he

Mensen die vliegtuigen in een gebouw vliegen vergelden de dood van hun broeders en zusters. Jullie gaven de VS het recht om Afganistan te bombarderen en bezetten.

Echte moordenaars zijn diegene die vliegtuigen in torens boren die werken dus voor die moordernaars dus zijn het handlangers. het enige verschil met vliegtuigen een gebouw in sturen of een raket is dat een raket een onbemand projectiel is.

Jullie Jullie Jullie??? Ik ben Belg he, me dunkt dat de Wereld op zijn kop heeft gestaan doordat België samen met Frankrijk en Duitsland tegen dat Navo-voorstel van Amerika stemde. Dat het klein belgenlandje als laatste en nog steeds tegen het voorstel stemde. Dit der naast, broeders en zusters vergelden doet ge ni door onschuldige slachtoffers te maken he. BOEL, als dat het enige is waarmee je je mening kan staven... (trouwens Afgahnistan kwam NA WTC)

JUlie de grote heren van het westen die amerika carte Blanch gaven om Afganistan te bombarderen ter vergelden nou 11 sept is onze vergelding.

Als Frankrijk iets wou doen moesten ze tegen de sancties van Irak stemmen de sancties die meer dan een miljoen zielen op haar geweten heeft ja de VN heeft genocide gepleegt en in het westen zijn wij er schuldig aan omdat wij meededen

dm het westen de schuld te geven van Irak is een beetje oneerlijk. de eu met uitzondering van de facisten Aznar, Berlusconi en Blair was toch fel tegen een oorlog. belgie vond ik heel dapper en ze hebben gelijk want een oorlog waar zij als volk niet achter staan hoeft ook niet over hun grondgebied gesteund te worden.

De dodental is gestegen naar acht doden U.S. Troops Ambushed in Central Iraq Town By TAREK AL-ISSAWI Associated Press Writer Sloan reports that there have been lots of problems trying to get Iraq's oil industry up and running. (Audio) KHALDIYAH, Iraq (AP) -- Guerrillas ambushed a U.S. military convoy Thursday, sparking a heavy gunbattle in which a truck was destroyed. In a nearby town, an American patrol opened fire on a wedding, killing a 14-year-old boy, after mistaking celebratory gunfire for an attack, witnesses said. Al-Arabiya television reported eight Americans were killed and one wounded in the ambush in Khaldiyah. There was no confirmation of any casualties, and initial casualty reports have proven incorrect in the past. North of Baghdad, fire raged at an oil pipeline following an explosion at the site, the U.S. military said, raising concerns that it was the latest in a series of sabotage attacks. The pipeline carries crude oil from fields near Kirkuk to Iraq's largest refinery at Beiji. The two shootings involving U.S. troops heightened tensions in the "Sunni Triangle," a belt of central Iraq that has been the heart of support for Saddam Hussein loyalists against the American-led occupation. The ambush took place in Khaldiyah, where the police chief, Col. Khedeir Mekhalef Ali, was assassinated Monday in a brazen shooting - the latest attack on Iraqis working with coalition forces. Photo Gallery Canal Hotel Bombing U.S. Troops Ambushed in Central Iraq TownIraq There was no immediate word on casualties in Thursday's ambush. Al-Arabiya television reported eight Americans were killed and one wounded, but there was no confirmation. Initial casualty reports have proven incorrect in the past. Four U.S. tanks surrounded the smoldering transport truck as helicopters hovered above, an Associated Press reporter in Khaldiyah said. Taking fire from unknown positions, U.S forces were firing with no obvious targets, in an apparent effort to protect themselves until reinforcements arrived, a witness said. The AP reporter was fired on by one of the tanks with three rounds from its 50-caliber machine gun. An AP photographer said his car was shot up by American troops, the windshield blown out and all the tires flattened. The photographer was not injured. Shortly afterward, a huge explosion rocked the area, and there were unconfirmed reports from residents that U.S. Humvees had come under attack a few miles distant. Wednesday night's shooting at the wedding in Fallujah came after American soldiers mistakenly killed eight U.S.-allied Iraqi police officers outside the town in a friendly fire incident. The military has apologized for the incident and opened an investigation. Witnesses said guests at the wedding shot guns into the air in celebrartion, and passing American troops in Humvees, believing they were under attack, opened fire, killing the teen and wounding six other people. Adel Hmood, a neighbor who said he saw the Americans open fire, told The Associated Press that the dead boy, Sufyan Daoud al-Kubaisi, was on his way to buy cigarettes when he was killed. Bullet holes in homes and buildings in the area, about two blocks off the main street in Fallujah, suggested heavy firing by the Americans. A policeman who spoke on condition of anonymity said he had heard identical reports. No U.S. forces could be seen in the city Thursday. Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez said the military was investigating and could not confirm that a boy was killed. The military said the pipeline fire north of Baghdad was so fierce that investigators could not get close to determine its cause. Maj. Josslyn Aberle, spokeswoman for the 4th Infantry Division based in Tikrit, 120 miles north of Baghdad, said valves on the pipeline were being closed to shut off fuel to the fire. "The fire won't affect oil production or the timetable for resuming exports," Aberle said. Another pipeline, to the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, has been hit by a string of sabotage attacks. L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator of Iraq, said the line's closure was costing the country $7 million each day. The military says the line should resume operation in about a month. In Baghdad, police backed by U.S. soldiers and helicopters sealed a large part of the center of the city Thursday in a raid to capture car thieves. Two men were arrested at an auto repair shop on suspicion of having stolen a police vehicle. In an audiotape broadcast Wednesday by al-Arabiya, a speaker purporting to be Saddam urged Iraqis to escalate attacks on Americans and called on U.S.-led forces to leave the country "as soon as possible and without any conditions." The speaker, who sounded like the ousted Iraqi leader, also urged Washington's international partners not to "fall prey in the traps of American foreign policy" and reject any plan for Iraq's future which legitimizes military occupation. News editor Aymen Gaballah said the 14-minute tape was obtained Wednesday after a caller to the station's Baghdad office told employees where to find it. Copyright 2003 Associated Press.
