The arti­cle pub­lished today on Al-Akhbar “When Sad­dam appointed Barzani gov­er­nor of Irbil” reminded me about this year “1996” and this par­tic­u­lar day 31 August.

At that day Barzani asked Saddam’s help to fight against Talbani’s PUK mili­tia about who con­trols Irbil, both the Iraqi army and Barzani’s KDP man­aged sent Talabani’s mili­tia away to the Turk­ish borders.

Sad­dam appointed Barzani as Irbil’s ruler and that was 31 Aug. 1996, the writer sur­prised that this day is one of the rea­sons that the U.S. wanted to “lib­er­ate” Iraq.

Every­thing above is well known by the Amer­i­cans [see Global Secu­rity].

In August 1996, lead­ers of the KDP asked Iraqi pres­i­dent Sad­dam Hus­sein to inter­vene in the war. Hus­sein sent at least 30,000 troops into the UN-protected Kur­dish region, cap­tur­ing the PUK strong­hold of Irbil. The KDP was imme­di­ately installed in power.

One of the strange events is that the Amer­i­can responded [for Sad­dam help­ing Barzani the U.S. ally] with bomb­ing the south of Iraq.

U.S. mil­i­tary move a suc­cess later that day, point­ing to the with­drawal of most Iraqi troops from the Kur­dish region.

For sure Sad­dam did not offer his help for free. Barzani revealed very cru­cial infor­ma­tion and a top secret to Sad­dam: There was a coup attempt moti­vated by the CIA and orches­trated by Gulf-States and Jordan.

Among the con­spir­a­tors, three broth­ers live in Bagh­dad in the same street where I lived, the three of them are exe­cuted later.

Guess who are the brothers?

They are the sons of cur­rent intel­li­gence ser­vice “Al-Shahwani”.
