Murder on basis of religious identity returns to Iraq

The highway killings come just days after a highly coordinated assault by militants on two Iraqi prisons that saw hundreds of inmates escape, an operation claimed by an Al-Qaeda front group.
The militants attacked prisons in Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad, and Taji, north of the capital, with mortar rounds, bombs and gunfire beginning on Sunday night, sparking clashes with security forces that lasted for 10 hours.
At least 500 prisoners, including senior Al-Qaeda members, escaped, and at least 20 members of the security forces and 21 prisoners died.
INTERPOL said in an online statement on Wednesday that the escapes “constituted a major threat to global security”, and that it had issued a regional security alert at Iraq’s request.
Ben voyons.
Bon, sinon, tu lis cet article, et tu peux parfaitement passer à côté du fait que l’Irak a été occupé pendant toutes ces années par les États-Unis. Admire cette évocation historique :
The nighttime attack was reminiscent of the darkest days of the Sunni-Shiite sectarian bloodshed in Iraq in 2006-2007, when thousands of people were killed because of their religious affiliation or forced to abandon their homes under threat of death.
Des sunnites, des shiites, et pas d’armée d’occupation américaine ? Pas de milliards de dollars donnés à des « sous-traitants » privés plus nombreux que la soldatesque officielle de l’US Army ? Pas de milliards de dollars en liquide simplement – ahem – « perdus » dans la nature ? Pas de magouilles confessionnelles organisées par l’équipe Bush ? Juste de la bonne fitna désintéressée entre arabes ?
