Basra Jailbreak

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Tuesday September 20, 2005 23:53author by Hilaal Report this post to the editors

Controversy still surrounds the capture and jailbreak of two armed Britons in Basra after they murdered an Iraqi policeman and wounded another.
Fugitive No.1
Fugitive No.1

Mohammed al-Waili the governor of Basra province, condemned the British for raiding his prison, calling it "barbaric, savage and irresponsible".

"A British force of more than 10 tanks backed by helicopters attacked the central jail and destroyed it. This is an irresponsible act," al-Waili said, adding that the British force had spirited the prisoners away to an unknown location. About 150 other prisoners also escaped.

It was originally claimed by eyewitnesses and reported by BBC Radio on Tuesday that the British duo had been in possession of explosives when arrested. This would explain why they fired on a police patrol and tried to escape arrest but it raises other questions: where were they going with a bomb? How many other bombs have been planted by British and US agents?

British intelligence is now claiming the men were members of the SAS or some other British Army regiment. They are turning public opinion towards seeing the Basra police as riddled with agents of various militia. Hence they were just capturing poor intelligence gathering soldiers from evil terrorists.

It is more likely they two on-the-run-convicts are members of some FRU type unit being used to foment fear by murder to destabalise an area they are unable to control.

Today British Army vehicles and personell are hiding out in the barracks so as not to present a target for a justifiably angered population. The thin lie that they are there to help the Iraqi people has been scraped away and it is obvious now that the are no more than an illegal oppressive army of occupation.

Basra is now about to eject the British Army.

Slan abhaile!
