mass Grave in
Ramadi
Baghdad - Iraq on the 7th of March 2004
The pictures attached in this compressed file are off footage taken in the province of Ramadi - Iraq at a site that belongs to the Iraqi ministry of agriculture and was used until the end of January 2004
by the U.S. occupation forces as
a military base. Due to the continuous attacks by the
Iraqi Resistance, the enemy troops were forced to leave.
On the 20th of February a scouting group visited the site
and it's surrounding area to confirm the lack of enemy
activity in this area. During the mission the personnel
noticed a lot of dogs & wolfs in this desolate area
digging & sniffing the grounds. After a closer look, tracks & markings of heavy vehicles were discovered along with trenches and digging area that were left unattended. Further exploration of the site revealed the infamous black body bags that we in Iraq have heard so many rumors about. In these bags we found the dead
bodies
or leftovers of dead soldiers who died as a result of
direct hits to the head and chest areas by bullets or
shrapnel. These bodies have been buried for a few months
only, & are definitely soldiers who belong to the
occupying forces. They are soldiers who have been striped of all their clothes & IDs. in order to avoid their identification if discovered. A large number of bodies have been discovered & have been removed from the sites where they were found & relocated in places only known to our active personnel. These bodies have been relocated for the sole purpose of uncovering the mass deception & lies that the U.S. administration & the British government have carried out since the beginning of this conflict.
These bodies will be handed over to the Red Cross at the suitable time in order to be returned to their families for proper burial. The above statement is being released by the Iraqi Islamic Army, one of the active factions that are resisting the occupying forces led by the United States & Britain. Further information will be released at the appropriate time.(This information was first recorded in March2004)The Iraqi Islamic Army.
To Remember Mazin Da’na
Through a lense
He too saw
The dark shadow
Moving among
Men, and he revealed those crimes
That the world must see.
Through a lense
His retina
Swarmed
As a bee
In the hive of the cells,
His photographic slides
Ply the light of reason
The honey of proof
That we now pull
For ourselves
In season.
But our season,
Because we can no longer
Adapt
To the vindictive spasm
Of evil
That runs through Israel
Out into the world,
Must carry the crushing storms of voices
Denouncing the creeds
Wherein man seeks
To gain from a God
A spectral presence.
This history of violence
Now and in the future
Culls from politics
The final episode of insanity
Keeping an appointment with lies.
A bitter sorrow
Brought about by the solitude
Each witness keeps
With his brothers
Is a wind,
Coursing
As a dog
In the hollows and crevices
Of all hidden things
Even in the fist.
And in that manifesto
Of belief
That government holds out…
Out of control.....
( For violence
Is now the method
Of breath consuming the living;
Air that is congealed
On our guilty silence.)
Hear that shot and speak out mankind
Or you will turn down this road
That Mazin trod.
