f) However, Brita<strong>in</strong>'s M<strong>in</strong>istry <strong>of</strong> Defence disputed that the prison had been stormed, on thecontrary, stated that the release <strong>of</strong> the two soldiers was negotiated. Contradict<strong>in</strong>g the statement <strong>of</strong>the Basra governor and the numerous reports (po<strong>in</strong>t d), that clearly alluded to the British forcesaction to release the British prisoners sparked <strong>of</strong> the riot. Why was there no statement from theso-called new <strong>Iraq</strong>i government?Whatever the case, the British forces were not happy with two <strong>of</strong> their soldiers kept <strong>in</strong> an <strong>Iraq</strong>iprison, controlled by their <strong>Iraq</strong>i allies. Inside the prison, their lives were not under any threat. Butwhat the two soldiers concealed as regards to their mission must have really worried the Britishgovernment. Thus, they moved quickly to get the undercover soldiers out <strong>of</strong> the prisons bystorm<strong>in</strong>g it with Tanks and demolish<strong>in</strong>g the walls.Now, what has been deliberately avoided by the ma<strong>in</strong>stream TV and Satellite stations is thereference [1] to allegation from the <strong>Iraq</strong>i police, that the British soldiers were plant<strong>in</strong>g bombs.Turkish and a few other media outlets also reported that the <strong>Iraq</strong>i police allegedly found bombs<strong>in</strong> unidentified cars owned by Britons.So the facts are, the British soldiers were caught wear<strong>in</strong>g Arab dress <strong>in</strong> a civilian car, armed, mayhave been carry<strong>in</strong>g bombs, shot the <strong>Iraq</strong>i soldiers when approached by them, later the Britishgovernment <strong>in</strong> desperation stormed the prison to get them out; clearly they were on a secretmission. It was secret because it would be too embarrass<strong>in</strong>g to conduct openly <strong>in</strong> an area that issupposed to be the calmest with no <strong>in</strong>surgency. Given the facts, the only plausible explanation isthat the undercover soldiers were engaged <strong>in</strong> counter-<strong>in</strong>surgency operations. This <strong>in</strong>cident maywell prove to be another Abu-Ghraib, confirm<strong>in</strong>g the strong rumours <strong>of</strong> counter-<strong>in</strong>surgencyoperations, particularly the bombs explod<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the markets and mosques, away from coalitionand <strong>Iraq</strong>i forces that would benefit no one, except the coalition forces.Without a shadow <strong>of</strong> doubt, a full scale sectarian war would help the collation forces; they wouldbe the primary beneficiary. In fact from the very beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> the conflict the media has beenconstantly stok<strong>in</strong>g sectarian tensions, the language employed was crafted accord<strong>in</strong>gly. They kepton repeat<strong>in</strong>g m<strong>in</strong>ority Sunni Arabs <strong>of</strong> 20%, who become m<strong>in</strong>ority Sunnis <strong>of</strong> 20%! The majorityShi’ites became the oppressed Shi’ites, as if the hearts <strong>of</strong> the Anglo-<strong>US</strong> government bleeds forthem! The Arab nationalist Baath party became a Sunni party, as if religion def<strong>in</strong>ed it!But the sectarian conflict failed to ignite, and then the coalition forces engaged <strong>in</strong> counter<strong>in</strong>surgencyactivities by explod<strong>in</strong>g bombs <strong>in</strong> markets, mosques and churches. There have beenearlier reports and <strong>in</strong>dependent eyewitness accounts <strong>of</strong> coalition soldiers caught plant<strong>in</strong>g bombs.However, like hurricane Katr<strong>in</strong>a, this time they were caught and exposed, the world can now seetheir fork-tongue and <strong>in</strong>sidious nature.Yam<strong>in</strong> ZakariaLondon, UK[1] http://www.iraqwar.mirror-world.ru/article/63808iraqwar.mirror-world.ru/article/63926198
