US Commander Beats Senior Recruited Iraqis, US Forces Release Informer from Ramadi Prison, Georgian Troops to Withdraw Soon

Yaqen.net reported the following news:

- Two US-backed senior officials in the city of Haditha have been quarreling openly. These were the city governor (Qaem Maqam), Abdul Hakim Al-Jughaifi, and his cousin the police commander, Farouq Al-Jughaifi.

The two US-backed Jughaifis were quarreling over deals with US forces. The fight ended by the resignation of the governor. The police commander, as a show of force and winning, arrested the governor's son, Ayman Al-Jughaifi.

He put Ayman in an open car, and showed him to the city residents telling them that he would pay for his crimes in the city, which included rape, robbery, and spying on Iraqis for US forces.

Today, three days after his arrest, US forces intervened and released him from prison before his trial for his crimes.

- The commander of the Georgian troops in Iraq, Maysoradze, announced that all Georgian 1,000 soldiers will withdraw from Iraq as soon as US forces provide them with transportation.

The French TV, France 24, reported that there are 2,000 Georgian soldiers in Iraq and that they will be leaving Iraq to fight in the current war in Ositia.

(Georgia is a very poor former Soviet republic. The Georgian president was a US citizen before becoming a president).

- El-Salvador will replace its 280 soldiers in Iraq by only 200 soldiers, thus decreasing its troop participation (El-Salvador is a very poor country in Central America).

Yaqen.net and amsi.org reported the following news:

- The new commander of US forces in Al-Anbar Province beat three senior Iraqis collaborating with US forces.

The first was a leader of the US-recruited Sahwa fighters in Al-Ramadi, called Sheik Ra'ad Sabah Al-'Alwani. He beat him because he was parading with a large procession in the streets of the city. The US commander ordered him to get out of his luxurious vehicle and started beating him in front of his guards and other people. The interpreter told the beaten sheik that he was parading in a vehicle paid for by the American people and the blood of American soldiers. He shouldn't be doing that.

The second was sheik 'Aref Mukhaiber, who was beaten during one of the meetings attended by leaders of the US-recruited Sahwa fighters. When the sheik suggested offering a big banquet to honor US military commanders, the new US commander started beating him for his open attempt to kiss up Americans.

The third beaten senior US-backed Iraqi official was the police commander of Al-Jama'iya, Colonel Rashed Mahmoud Shallal. He was beaten for his reckless behavior in entering the room of the US commander while having his gun on his side. The commander took off his gun and beat him.
