Iraqi Federation of Oil Unions leader Hassan Jumaa Awad has sent the following urgent email to supporters. He urges action in response to the oil minister transfering union activists from Basra to Baghdad - a 'human rights crime' and an escalation of repression against the union at a time when the controversial oil law is still being pushed in order to privatise Iraq's oil. The IFOU are on the forefront of resistance to this and the non-armed resistance to the occupation.

22-05-2008 20:03
"Bergner's refusal to address that question reflects a fundamental problem with the US claims about Iranian weapons in Iraq: if there are indeed any Iranian rockets and mortars, and RPGs in the Mahdi Army's arsenal of stand-off weapons, they represent an insignificant part of it.Reports by the US command in Iraq over the past 15 months cited only a handful of Iranian weapons out of hundreds counted in caches found in Shiite areas. Nearly 700 mortars and rockets were reported by specific caliber size, along with a handful of RPGs, in nearly two dozen caches. Of that total, only four rockets were reported as being of Iranian origin, and another 15 were listed as possibly being Iranian."
