.Update: Truth about Iraqis
Dear all,
My Update:
I have notified blogger and they are looking into it.
All the same, as some of you know, my cousin was executed in broad daylight last week.
I have since come across some more details. It was on Sunday, June 25, at around 9:30 am.
He had just recently received asylum status in Denmark and was preparing to leave for there in the coming weeks.
He was buried on Sunday afternoon and his family is still distraught.
I was informed all this by his brother's wife, both of whom live in Amman, Jordan.
My greatest concern is how his two young daughters will be taken care of.
The remaining cousins and family I have in Iraq are now very fearful of their lives and are asking me to find some way to have them leave.
This requires a lot of resources but what can I do? I am leaving for Jordan and Syria in the next 24 hours to try and set up some kind of apartment or some thing in either country.
I assure you, my blog is not dead, just dormant and I will return to blogging very soon.
I am not surprised at all to see that many of those who frequently post comments on my blog could not even offer a single word of condolence. They pretend they care but in actuality, they do not.
Those who masquerade themselves from one blog to the next saying they care about humanity are the ones who are gloating right now.
Gloat all you want, like I always say, your real intentions for Iraq and my people are evident in your words and actions.
I promise to email any and all who email me and will keep everyone updated.
I am pasting below the last blog posting of mine on June 30.
Iraqi father of two young girls killed - one bullet to the head
Aziz (not really name) was in his late twenties. He was going to a market in Mosul with his brothers to buy gasoline earlier this week when another car ran them off the road.
Armed men stepped out of the car and apprehended Aziz and his brothers. They searched the car, searched the men and asked for IDs.
After checking the names, the armed men singled Aziz out. They separated him from his brothers. They told him they had orders to execute him.
Aziz pleaded with the men. His brothers pleaded. It was no use.
Aziz crumbled to the floor, lifeless, a bullet to the head. A flash of gunfire and his life was snuffed out. Gone. The father of two, husband, friend, brother ... gone.
The armed men got in their car and sped off. Aziz's brothers lifted his lifeless body, put it in the backseat of their car and drove back home, in shock.
What to tell his young wife? Or his daughters?
Aziz was a beautiful looking man. He had fair skin, straight dirty blond hair, and sparkling blue eyes. He had a different air about him from his brothers. He was ... spunky, always ready, always on the go, rather enthusiastic.
When US forces first entered Mosul three years ago, Aziz worked with them as an interpreter until he received warnings and threats not to.
He immediately quit - after a period of no more than 9 days - and pronounced he would not work with any foreigners again. He was told to go to the mosques and disavow that line of work. He promptly did. That was around October 2003.
The threats ceased, he had nothing to fear, he was told. And the matter was closed.
It is not known exactly who killed him or why.
His brothers said his killers seemed professional, as if they had done this many times before - a hit squad. They were also arrogant and appeared to believe they were the law.
I received this information a few minutes ago.
Aziz was my relative. I had met his mother in Amman exactly one year ago. She had said he was planning on leaving Iraq for good.
He left life for good.
