Iraqi officials are attributing the deaths of 29 people in Duwailiya, in Diyala province north of Baghdad, to al-Qaida militants who disguised themselves in military uniforms and surrounded the village before opening fire Tuesday on men, women and children.  This latest report follows other news of widespread violence as the U.S. troop “surge” continues.


BBC:

In Baghdad at least 10 people, including four soldiers, were killed in a suicide car bomb targeting an Iraqi army convoy passing through Zayouna district.

Another car bomb exploded near the Iranian embassy in central Baghdad, killing four people.

The attacks came as funerals were being held for victims of Monday’s massive lorry bombing in Kirkuk in northern Iraq.

At least 85 people were killed and more than 180 wounded.

What good friends left behind
by John Pilger

...CIA director William Casey had given his backing to a plan put forward by Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, to recruit people from around the world to join the Afghan jihad. More than 100,000 Islamic militants were trained in Pakistan between 1986 and 1992, in camps overseen by the CIA and MI6, with the SAS training future al-Qaida and Taliban fighters in bomb-making and other black arts. Their leaders were trained at a CIA camp in Virginia. This was called Operation Cyclone and continued long after the Soviets had withdrawn in 1989.

It’s all al Queda all the time now - al CIAduh is the better signature - the perfect pseudo gang - the CIA’s Arab Legion - terror for hire, where you want it, when you want it - and the regime is desperate for another provocation - be vigilant as reports are circulating that another big one is coming our way.

Noble Resolve in August in Portland, Oregon will be drilling War on Terror scenarios - easiest way to do it: flip the drill live - just like they did on 9/11 and 7/7 - the attacks were perfect replicas of drills running simultaneously - what’s the odds? a billion to one - conclusion: inside job and they’ll do it again here, just like they’re doing it everywhere.

Want to end the War of Terror? Rip the weapon of false flag terror from the hands of the hegemons and break it before their faces!
