The night before the bombing: Two eyewitnesses

Posted on February 23, 2006 by Sappho

Samarra_Sunni

Update: There was one small mis­take in the trans­la­tion, the time line says 6,41 should be 6,45, that’s all.

I want the read­ers to know that for Samarra inhab­i­tants, the mosques doesn’t rep­re­sents a Shiia shrines only but rep­re­sents the exis­tence of the city also and they are very proud of them, even when the sit­u­a­tion went very bad between Sunni and Shiia, Shiia pil­grim­ages to city never attacked by any group, it’s kind of unwrit­ten code of honor.

Tes­ti­monies of two eye­wit­nesses near the bombed Dome:

Wit­ness 1:

I live in a dis­trict very near to the mosque and I will tell you exactly what I saw hours before the bombing.

There is a daily cur­few in our city (Samarra) starts from 8,00 in the evening until 6,00 in the morn­ing, in the night before the bomb­ing and just when it’s get­ting dark there was unusual activ­i­ties by the ING in the area around the mosque, I heard their cars the whole night until next day in the morning.

The Mosque Guards tes­ti­mony says: Four peo­ple with ING uni­forms blind folded them and set the bombs.

The wit­ness con­tin­ues, so ask I you how could the ter­ror­ists enter the area which is usu­ally sur­rounded by the ING and enter the mosque then run­way with­out being got by the police?.

Wit­ness 2:

Wit­ness 2 gives more detailed infor­ma­tion and the Amer­i­cans con­nec­tion to the events before the bomb­ing, so I made it as time­line of the events.

My name is Muham­mad Al-Samarrai, I own an internet-cafe near the mosque, I sleep in my shop because I am worry about my com­put­ers from thieves.

8,30 (evening) joint forces of Iraqi ING and Amer­i­cans asked me to stay in the shop and don’t leave the area.

9,00 (evening) they left the area.

11,00 (evening) they came back and started to patrol the area until the morning.

6,00 (next day morn­ing) ING leave the area .

6,30 Amer­i­cans leave the area .

6,40 first explosion.

6,45 sec­ond explosion.

He con­firmed again that the cur­few starts at 8,00 (evening) until next day 6,00 (morn­ing), INGs and the Amer­i­cans will sur­round and patrol the city all that time.

    Hel­low,
    I am a Shia scholar liv­ing in Lon­don, but I stud­ied in Iraq in the first year after the inva­sion by the US. Indeed the Imam in the pic­ture is Suunni, his name is Ahmad Abdul ghafour Samar­rai. He is a native of Samarra, his PHd the­sis is on the Imams of the Prophet’s fam­ily, includ­ing the two buried in Samarra. he is the Mufti, or high­est rank­ing Sunni Scholar ofI­raq, and Imam in the Umm al Qurra mosque in Bagh­dad, pres­i­dent of the Asso­ci­a­tion of Sunni Ulama, a staunch defender of the insur­gence though. So the fault lines are a bit complicated…

    Obvi­ously Amer­i­cans did this. That way a sec­tar­ian civil war can break out with our troops in the mid­dle. The tons of blood and dol­lars spent to build a Demo­c­ra­tic Iraq can then go down the tubes in an orgy of Mus­lim against Mus­lim fight­ing and Amer­i­can influ­ence in the region will all but be destroyed. Sure pal, makes sense to me. Cer­tainly Iran, Sadr (same thing), or Al Qaeda have noth­ing to gain by a civil war but the ben­e­fits to the US are numer­ous and great.

    The Dec­la­ra­tion Of War — Part 2

    Thurs­day, Feb­ru­ary 23, 2006
    Asso­ci­ated Press [1]
    Mosque Bomb­ing an ‘Evil Act,’ Bush
    Says
    ‘
    ”…speak­ing at a polit­i­cal fund–
    raiser in Indi­ana, Bush at first
    appeared to blame al-Qaida for the
    bomb­ing, and then empha­sized that
    it is unknown who was responsible.

    “‘You want to know how tough al–
    Qaida is, just look at _ we don’t
    know exactly who did the bomb­ing
    .…’”
    ‘
    The Liar finally gave up on his
    “al-Qaida” BS. Gee, wow.
    ‘
    So The Liar replaced one lie with
    another: the cow­ardly “we don’t
    know” lie.
    ‘
    Don’t worry, The Super­power knows
    the Shi’i mosque bomb­ing –in a
    Sunni area north of Bagh­dad– is
    a well-planned fol­lowup to Iran’s
    ear­lier dec­la­ra­tion of war.
    ‘
    Ear­lier dec­la­ra­tion of war?

    Excerpts from Part 1 [2]–

    Reuters
    Iran calls on UK troops to pull
    out of Basra
    ‘
    Reuters quotes Manouchehr Mot–
    taki, the for­eign min­is­ter of
    Iran:
    ‘
    “The Islamic Repub­lic of Iran
    demands the imme­di­ate with­drawal
    of British forces from Basra.“
    ‘
    Basra’s in a nar­row strip of
    Iraq –squeezed between Iran and
    Kuwait– that reaches the Per–
    sian Gulf.
    ‘
    ‘
    OK, back to Iran’s fol­lowup.
    ‘
    From Iraqi Resis­tance Report for
    events of Wednes­day, 22 Feb­ru­ary
    2006 [3]:
    ‘
    “The For­eign Rela­tions Depart­ment
    of the Iraq Regional Com­mand of
    the Arab Baath Social­ist Party
    issued a state­ment on Wednes­day
    denounc­ing the crim­i­nal attack on
    the tomb of the Imam ‘Ali al-Hadi
    and say­ing that the pro-Iranian
    Badr Brigades and the US were be–
    hind the attack.“
    ‘
    [Don’t con­fuse Badr with Sadr.
    ‘
    The Brigades (or Corps) are the
    mil­i­tary arm of the Supreme Coun–
    cil for the Islamic Rev­o­lu­tion in
    Iraq (SCIRI) head­quar­tered in, not
    Iraq, but in Teheran, the cap­i­tal
    of Iran.
    ‘
    The Brigades fought along­side The
    Super­power troops invad­ing Iraq.
    ‘
    Baath –notice, two “a“s– means
    res­ur­rec­tion (of inde­pen­dence).]
    ‘
    “The Baath Party state­ment ex–
    plained:
    ‘
    “The sys­tem­atic esca­la­tion of
    dif­fer­ences between Amer­ica and
    Iran have found their main poli–
    tical arena to be Iraq, because
    the most impor­tant group of agents
    of Iran are there;
    ‘
    they are in power [= the pup­pet
    gov­ern­ment set up by The Super–
    power] and are able thereby to use
    the blood of Iraqis…to exert
    pres­sure on Amer­ica.
    ‘
    “Iran has laid out a plan to em–
    broil Amer­ica in the Iraqi morass
    to pre­vent it from obstruct­ing
    Iran’s nuclear plans.
    ‘
    “Par­tic­u­larly since Amer­ica is
    eager to move on to com­plet­ing
    arrange­ments for a with­drawal
    from Iraq, a part of which is the
    sign­ing of bind­ing agree­ments on
    oil and strat­egy.
    ‘
    “Amer­ica believes that with­out
    the par­tic­i­pa­tion of ‘Sunni’
    par­ties in the regime those ar–
    range­ments will fail.
    ‘
    “For that rea­son cut­ting Iran’s
    claws has become one of the im–
    por­tant require­ments for the
    Amer­i­can arrange­ments.
    ‘
    “This is a neces­sity that the
    Amer­i­can [ambas­sador] Zal­may
    [Khalilzad] openly spoke of re–
    cently when he declared that no
    sec­tar­ian would take con­trol of
    the Min­istries of the Inte­rior
    or Defense in the new Iraqi
    pup­pet ‘gov­ern­ment’.
    ‘
    “Sim­i­larly, Amer­ica has begun to
    pub­lish infor­ma­tion that it
    for­merly kept hid­den regard­ing
    the crimes of the Badr Brigade
    and the ‘Inte­rior Min­istry.’
    ‘
    “It is there­fore in Iran’s in–
    ter­est to attack holy Shi’i
    Islamic tombs now because it
    seeks to rally the peo­ple of
    south­ern Iraq behind the Iran­ian
    posi­tion [in Iraq] and in defense
    of Iran through increased pres–
    sure on Amer­ica in Iraq.
    ‘
    “This is a dif­fi­cult task for
    them since the vast major­ity of
    the peo­ple of south­ern Iraq know
    that Iran is plan­ning to destroy
    Iraq and par­ti­tion it, annex­ing
    south­ern Iraq to itself under
    the so-called ‘fed­er­a­tion’
    scheme of ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-Hakim
    [the leader of SCIRI].
    ‘
    “There­fore, they [= Iran’s agents]
    have sensed an urgent need to re–
    gain some unity around their posi–
    tion among the south­ern Iraqi
    peo­ple, so as to sub­or­di­nate them
    to Iran.
    ‘
    “For this they required a crime
    the likes of which has not been
    com­mit­ted before – namely an at–
    tack on a holy tomb in an area
    that is not pre­dom­i­nantly Shi’i so
    that it could be blamed on the
    Sun­nis, and be used to pro­mote the
    rapid spread of the wild­fire of
    sec­tar­ian strife, in order to
    guar­an­tee Iran suf­fi­cient forces
    to keep Amer­ica embroiled in Iraq
    and to reduce Amer­i­can pres­sure on
    Tehran.
    ‘
    “This would also achieve one of the
    most impor­tant and old­est Amer­i­can
    goals in Iraq, namely split­ting up
    the coun­try.“
    ‘
    ‘
    In other words, Iran’s pres­sure on
    The Super­power includes candy to
    make that pres­sure palat­able…
    ‘
    That candy is what moti­vated The
    Liar’s cow­ardly “we don’t know“
    lie.
    ‘
    ‘
    There’s more.
    ‘
    ”…the crim­i­nal attack on the
    tomb of the Imam ‘Ali al-Hadi
    was car­ried out by the agents of
    Iran, sup­ported by Amer­i­can in–
    ter­ests, which con­sist in com–
    pelling ‘Sunni’ groups to take
    part in their polit­i­cal opera–
    tion.
    ‘
    “They [= the Amer­i­can inter­ests]
    hope to reach this goal more
    speed­ily by putting more pres­sure
    on known Sunni groups by ignit­ing
    a lim­ited sec­tar­ian war.“
    ‘
    A lim­ited sec­tar­ian war?
    ‘
    That notion is what moti­vated
    pol­ished Rice to warn “against
    char­ac­ter­iz­ing the ris­ing tur­moil
    as a har­bin­ger of civil war” [in
    AP’s Mosque Bomb­ing story].
    ‘
    ‘
    You now may won­der who’s beat­ing
    whom in that already-declared
    ‘
    IRAN — SUPERPOWER WAR.

    The Mustafa Mosque Mas­sacre was No Acci­dent or Error:

    Let’s be clear: the attack on the Mustafa mosque was no acci­dent, nor was it some stu­pid move by a low-ranking offi­cer who didn’t know the impli­ca­tions of what he was doing. The attack was a delib­er­ate act of intim­i­da­tion and provo­ca­tion directed against the Shi’ia major­ity by U.S. occu­pa­tion author­i­ties. It will not be the last.

    The U.S. has no inter­est in a suc­cess­ful Iraq gov­ern­ment, since it is now clear that such a gov­ern­ment will be Shi’ia led, and close to Iran polit­i­cally. There­fore, my guess is that the fall­back strat­egy is to rev up the Shi’ia mil­i­tants, stir up civil strife, and per­haps even to get the Sunni minor­ity, long the heart of oppo­si­tion to the U.S., to turn to the U.S. for help, as the Kurds did years back.
