How the US media changed the story of the suicide explosion in Al-Tuz

Posted on October 12, 2007 by Sappho

Every news agency reported this “Iraq bomb in toy cart hits chil­dren in play­ground” except the peo­ple of Al-Tuz reported totally dif­fer­ent story (image above of the sui­cide bomber who was injured and still alive).

The story accord­ing to Reuters and west­ern media

A bomb hid­den in a cart of toys…..suicide bomber pushed the cart into a play area…two boys aged between 10 and 12 had died.

The story accord­ing to eye­wit­nesses from Al-Tuz

A stranger was push­ing cart car­ry­ing a bag of flour, entered the Mullah-Sifr neigh­bor­hood in Al-Tuz, two young men ques­tioned him to check his iden­tity, the bomb inside the flour bag killed the two young men, and injured children.

(Scroll down in nahrain web­site to see one of the vic­tims who was killed today in the explo­sion in Al-Tuz, is he looks like a child to you)

In my opin­ion; the US media changed the story to shift the pub­lic atten­tion away from the US mil­i­tary crime of killing 9 chil­dren.

By the way, when they killed the chil­dren it was the same day, Petraeus was busy pre­tend­ing that he is a children-friendly.

    The US peo­ple have this thing about chil­dren you know, first they call them “kids” like tha babies of a goat, and then, all you have to do when you wan to make them go to war against a coun­try is say that the peo­ple over there do some­thing ter­ri­ble to “kids” or even bet­ter, pre­ma­ture babies, these tiny help­less crea­tures, in a hos­pi­tal –throw­ing them to the floor to die-, they were told the Iraqi invad­ing Kuwait were doing! And so the US peo­ple were angry and thought it was OK to start the first Gulf War because of the sav­agery done to these pre­ma­ture babies.

    Now we all –at least many peo­ple– know that what the media call “sui­cide bombers” are in fact peo­ple who ignored a bomb had been planted inside their belong­ings. Some found out by chance in good time and survived.

    Now when the US com­mits an atroc­ity against defense­less civil­ians, includ­ing chil­dren, all the media has to do is invent a dis­trac­tion by plant­ing a bomb in a flour sack and call­ing the flour sack a toy cart and the inno­cent man who car­ried it a vicious sui­cide bomber tar­get­ing chil­dren with a bomb planted in a toy cart! And look how Gen­eral Petraeus is nice with Iraki kids! What, the US sol­diers would never know­ingly kill chil­dren, would they? Not if they are Amer­i­cans? Dream on.…
