Why Kurdish warlords bombed the Yazidis?…update

————–Update———-

In an inter­view on Iraqi Alshar­qiya TV, Yazidis leader Anwar Maaouya accused the Iraqi gov­ern­ment on plot­ting the attack on the Yazidis say­ing: There evi­dence of Iraqi gov­ernemnt involve­ment to attack Yazidis.

————–End Update———

Were the Kur­dish war­lords (Barazani and Tal­a­bani) behind the bomb­ing of the Yazidia’s vil­lages in Sinjar?

Seems weird sug­ges­tion, but let’s fol­low the events:

On 2-August-’07, Haaretz reported

U.S. check­ing pos­si­bil­ity of pump­ing oil from north­ern Iraq to Haifa, via Jordan

The new pipeline would take oil from the Kirkuk area, where some 40 per­cent of Iraqi oil is pro­duced, and trans­port it via Mosul, and then across Jor­dan to Israel.

Which is an old issue since 2003 but thing wasn’t yet under the con­trol (in other words: Kur­dish mili­tias weren’t ready)

Just few days before Haaretz pub­lished their report, on 30–07-’07 news came from Kur­dis­tan that:

12 thou­sand Kurds mili­tia ready to pro­tect oil pipelines in Kirkuk and Mosul

The Iraqi gov­ern­ment asked to send thou­sands of Kurds mili­tias [Pesh­mar­gas] spread in the areas of Kirkuk and Mosul to pro­tect oil pipelines, Kur­dish author­ity has pro­vided the required number.

After two weeks from the above report and on 13-August-’07:

The plan was delayed because of the tense secu­rity sit­u­a­tion in area

After bomb­ing the Yezidi, all they needed to do is add Al-Qaeda name to it, and revive the old plan of send­ing Kur­dish Mili­tias to Mosul to “pro­tect the Yezidi” and you get it; the oil pipelines are vir­tu­ally secured until the Jor­dan­ian borders.

Some­body answer this:

How 175 dead Yazidis became 500 in less than 24 hours? and needed urgent action.

    That was my first thought too, Lady­bird. No other expla­na­tion seems to make sense.
