Free Iraqi



Click here for AmazonThe inimitable Ali of the Free Iraqi blog is complaining about the situation in Iraq. A citizen of Baghdad, he just discovered that a local newspaper ("Al Sabah") published a photo from his blog, without crediting or compensating him.

The story, as an aside, was about the massive reconstruction efforts occurring in the area. Oh, also Ali reports that multiple parties have corroborated this story:

Citizens of Al Mudhiryiah (a small town in the "death triangle") were subjected to an attack by several militants today who were trying to punish the residents of this small town for voting in the election last Sunday.

The citizens responded and managed to stop the attack, kill 5 of the attackers, wounded 8 and burned their cars. 3 citizens were injured during the fire exchange. The Shiekh of the tribe to whom the 3 wounded citizens belong demanded more efforts from the government to stop who he described as "Salafis".


It looks like the coalition and the Iraqi police aren't the only ones killing terrorists these days.
