US Snipers Killed 33 Innocent Civilians Last Week in Iraqi ar-Ramadi
Publication time: Today at 11:08 Djokhar time
American snipers atop the public affairs building and the Immigration Building and a US sniper atop a building in az-Zuyut in ar-Ramadi shot and killed a total of four Iraqi civilians on Thursday, August 31.
One of the Iraqis was gunned down on az-Zuyut Street as he was on the way to the city market place. Two other civilians were on the main road near the public affairs building as they were on their way towards the western entrance to the city. American troops gunned down a fourth Iraqi when he was heading towards the provincial puppet office building.
The latest killings by American snipers in ar-Ramadi followed reports of an attack on Tuesday that killed a woman and her child under the age of two, and sniper attacks on Monday in which American soldiers picked off 16 Iraqi civilians in various parts of the city. Six days ago, on Friday, 25 August American snipers killed three local men, one of them a 70-year-old, and then used the bodies for target practice.
Meanwhile, fearful lest Iraqi Resistance sharpshooters make use of other buildings in ar-Ramadi to shoot back at US troops, the Americans set about destroying a number of high-rise buildings in the city that they do not normally control.
At dawn on Thursday, the American occupation troops began demolishing various high-rise former Iraqi government buildings in ar-Ramadi.
Americans planted local explosives around the tax and customs buildings and the center for combating crime in the middle of the city and blew them up. The US troops also demolished several privately owned buildings and factories lest Resistance men make use of them to target the American invader troops. The US forces did, however, leave standing those high-rise buildings that they themselves occupy as barracks and camps and those that they use as sniper nests to control the streets of ar-Ramadi.
General Hospital had issued a statement saying that in the past week American snipers in the city had killed a total of 33 civilians, more than half of them women and children.
The Hosptial appealed to decent people in Iraq and to the governments of Islamic countries to denounce this daily slaughter being committed by the American military.
