that the sound of an explosion shook the camp about one minute after the
barrage, which sent thick black plumes of smoke rising from the
US-occupied facility.
American helicopters were observed hovering at low

Gardens in the east of the city, setting some date palms and citrus

The ar-Ramadi correspondent for Mafkarat
al-Islam reported local eyewitnesses as saying that the barrage set

armor-piercing rocket-propelled grenades at the vehicles, disabling one
and setting it on fire.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam
reported local witnesses as saying that one American soldier who was
inside the Humvee was killed and others who were standing around it were
wounded.

missed its target, destroying a portable electric generator that served
the building.

reported eyewitnesses as saying that the bomb completely destroyed one

Baghdad.
Bodies of 25 murdered Sunnis found in various
parts of Baghdad on Sunday.
In a dispatch posted at 6pm Makkah time Sunday
afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that from Sunday morning to

various parts of Baghdad. Some had been shot, others had been tortured
to death.
The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam
reported Dr. Mahmud as-Sa'd, a physician at 'Adnan Khayrallah Hospital
as saying, Twenty-five bodies were found Sunday morning, midday, and
afternoon in various parts of Baghdad. Fourteen bodies of Sunni Iraqis
were found in the al-Kasrah area, most of them shopkeepers who had been
abducted from the Jamilah area and the industrial ash-Shurajah area on
Saturday."
Dr. as-Sa'd went on: "Seven bodies of Sunni Iraqis
were found in the garbage dump area in southern Baghdad, one of them the
body of an Imam and two students at the Islamic School for Scholars of
Islamic Law (Madrasat al-Fuqaha’ al-Islamiyah) under the Abu Hanifah
an-Nu'man School."
"Four bodies of Iraqi Sunnis found on Sunday
afternoon had been killed in a savage manner, Dr. as-Sa'd said. "Their
hands and feet had been tied and they were blindfolded and gagged, and
then the veins in their necks were cut. The were left to bleed for
about two hours until they died." Dr. as-Sa'd said that the same method
of killing had been used by the Iranian military during its war with
Iraq in the 1980s.
After recovery from the various parts of Baghdad,
the 25 bodies were brought to the morgue pending the arrival of their
relatives to pick them up.
Disputed document surfaces implicating son of
SCIRI chief in alleged smuggling of oil out of Iraq for his own benefit
by permission of US Ambassador Khalilzad.
A copy of an official document ostensibly issued by
the United Nations office in Baghdad has been circulating in political
circles in occupied Iraq. The document purportedly indicates that the
US ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad agrees to allow the son of the chief of
the pro-American Shi'i sectarian so-called "Supreme Council for the
Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI)", 'Ammar 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Hakim, to
export oil, officially regarding him as a transportation contractor for
the resource.
Quds Press reported from Baghdad on Sunday
that copies of the document had reached a number of offices of political
parties in the puppet regime in Baghdad, as well as the office of 'Ammar
'Abd al-'Aziz al-Hakim himself in an-Nafaf. 'Ammar al-Hakim rushed to
issue a denial, "officially confirming that this license is a forgery,
as is the signature of his excellency the General Secretary upon it."
The statement called for legal pursuit of the case, describing it as a
fraud and forgery that defames the reputation of a prominent
personality.
Quds Press noted, however, that the latest
document had been preceded by other stories of high-ranking officials in
the US-installed puppet regime smuggling Iraqi oil out of the country
for their own personal benefit. Quds Press said that there had
been intelligence reports to the effect that a number of oil pipelines
in the south of the country that were laid after the US occupation of
Iraq are used exclusively to pump oil to Iraq’s southern ports for the
personal benefit of former puppet regime politicians.
