News not on the Networks

I have much to blog again this week as I process last week and weekend. But this story just came to me from Father Simon Harak, S.J, who works for the War Resisters League. It is a reminder that the US led atrocities in Iraq continue. One by one the US military are turning villages and cities into Fallujahs. This story is particularly appalling.

US thugs raping minor girls in Tellaffar

Quds Press - Al-Moharer.net

September 15, 2005

Independent medical sources confirmed today that two minors girls died of injuries and horrible pains after having been raped by US soldiers in the town of Tellaffar, 45 kilometers west of Mosul north of Iraq.

Quoting a source from the Red Cross Organization, hospital sources indicated that two cases of rape have been confirmed, and two minor girls were assaulted and raped on the hands of the US Cavalry division which is involved in attacking the Iraqi City since the last few days.

The hospital source who was speaking on the condition of anonymity, declared to the Quds Press reporter, that the two little Iraqi infants were raped by US soldiers after the US forces entered Tellafar Turkomen neighborhood.

The medical source indicated also that one of the little girls died after having been assaulted and raped in turn by many US soldiers, while the other girl was transported in a critical state to a nearby hospital.

The source also added that the US military are trying to suffocate the affair, according to the source own terms.

In the meantime an Iraqi US appointed military spokesman refused to confirm the facts to the journalists who were near the US and the Iraqi forces at the entrance of the City, saying that these rumors are used by the "terrorists" to get some sympathy, according to his expressions.

The Red Cross source confirmed the criminal assault against the Iraqi infants, and told Quds Press that one of the girls is called Nawf and the other Labiba, and refused to give the name of their father for security reasons.

The Red Cross source also said that the US are preventing any non US embedded press agencies, newsmen or any TV cameras from entering the battle zone.

It is important to note that there are press reports indicating the use of napalm and chemical weapons by the US military against this Iraqi tiny city situated at some 300 miles to the north of Baghdad, that is why the US military forbid any independent journalists, press, or TV cameras to enter the war zone, just as they did in the town of Fallujah last fall, where thousands of innocent civilians were murdered and hundred of thousands were made refugees in their own homeland by their US liberators.
