Socialist Worker publishes the first evidence of
a massacre of civilians by US troops in Fallujah
LONDON, 15 FEBRUARY 2005 -- In November of last year, US forces
in Iraq launched an all-out assault on the city of Fallujah. They claimed they were hunting down terrorists.
Tomorrow Socialist Worker carries the first hard evidence that the attack on Fallujah involved the systematic and deliberate murder of hundreds of civilians. We print at length the testimony of Dr Salam Ismael, who visited Fallujah last month with humanitarian aid from Britain...

LONDON, 15 FEBRUARY 2005 -- In November of last year, US forces
in Iraq launched an all-out assault on the city of Fallujah. They claimed they were hunting down terrorists.
Tomorrow Socialist Worker carries the first hard evidence that the attack on Fallujah involved the systematic and deliberate murder of hundreds of civilians. We print at length the testimony of Dr Salam Ismael, who visited Fallujah last month with humanitarian aid from Britain.
He describes his interviews with eye-witnesses to the massacre, including a 17 year old girl who saw her whole family shot dead in their home by US troops. Another family talks of how US snipers opened fire on a crowd of civilians that had been ordered to gather outside a mosque carrying white flags.
Dr Ismael worked with Michael Burke, the award-winning cameraman
and producer, to produce video footage of mass burials of civilians outside Fallujah. This may be aired by Channel 4 News this week.
"Nobody know how many died. The Americans are now bulldozing the
neighbourhoods to cover up their crime," says Dr Ismael. "What happened in Fallujah was an act of barbarity. The whole world must be told the truth."

Keep us informed

It's important to keep people informed about this. While there is a lot of anti-war sentiment in Britain, relatively few people appreciate that the Coalition forces are major abusers of human rights. Bringing unanswerable evidence of this to public attention is vital to getting this kind of thing stopped.
