In Tal-Afar, the propaganda spewed by the US military (and Iraqi "government") was that the operation was to fight terrorists coming into Iraq via Syria. If that were true, why did the US military remove troops from the border with Syria who were supposed to be preventing infiltration by foreign fighters? Instead of guarding the border, as they should, they engaged in the operation against Iraqi Sunni Turkmen. Working in unison, the US military launched the heavy-handed attack with the "authorization" of Prime Minister Ibrahm Jaafari, the leader of the Shia Dawa Party. Jaafari even went so far as to venture to Tal-Afar on Tuesday to visit troops and have his photograph taken. Authorization" was given by the Iraqi government for the attack on Tal-Afar, just as "authorization" was given ...

WASHINGTON -- President Bush said on Tuesday that the United States would hand over Saddam Hussein to the new Iraqi government only when it was clear that the Iraqis had the ability to securely keep him in custody. His comments came after Iraq's new interim prime minister, Iyad Allawi, in Baghdad, called for the Americans to hand over all detainees, including Saddam, by June 30, when Iraq is to gain limited sovereignty from the United States. Custody of Saddam and other sensitive prisoners was one of several issues on which the Americans and the new Iraqi government remain divided as the governmental turnover draws nearer.
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Struggling against an increasingly sophisticated kidnapping campaign, interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi made a stark plea to an anxious international community Saturday: Don't abandon Iraq to terrorists. It is time for us to close ranks to fight terrorism," Allawi told reporters in Damascus, on the Syrian leg of his get-acquainted swing through Arab capitals. "There is no way to budge to terrorists and give them what they want.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A U.S. airstrike authorized by Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi hit purported trenches and fighting positions in Fallujah used by al-Qaida linked foreign fighters, killing 14 people early Sunday, Iraqi officials said. Word that Allawi approved the early morning attack was a clear attempt to show that the Iraqi government has taken full sovereignty from the Americans and has firm control, despite its deep reliance on the 160,000 foreign troops, mainly from the United States.
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraq's interim prime minister said Wednesday he was determined to confront the mastermind of bombings and beheadings who threatened to assassinate him, and the U.S. military said it killed 20 foreign fighters at the suspected terrorist's hideout. A recording purportedly made by Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi threatened to kill interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and fight the Americans "until Islamic rule is back on Earth.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The Iraqi government issued a long-anticipated package of security laws Wednesday to help crush insurgents, including a provision allowing interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi to impose martial law. The lives of the Iraqi people are in danger, they are in danger from evil forces, from gangs of terrorists," said Human Rights Minister Bakhityar Amin, who compared the new law to the U.S. Patriot Act.
When the president cannot trust his own CIA, the nation faces dire consequences. Chicago Sun-Times columnist Robert Novak's revelations this week that CIA officer Paul R. Pillar is actively undermining President Bush fail to portray the depth of animosity between factions within the CIA and the White House. Mr. Pillar, who currently serves on the CIA's National Intelligence Council (NIC) as National Intelligence Officer (NIO) for the Near East and South Asia, is the lead author of the classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq's future recently leaked to the New York Times. The NIE is a gloomy assessment of the prospects for Iraq's stability. The timing of the leak just before Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's Washington visit and Mr. Bush's U.N. General Assembly s...
IRAQI Human Rights Minister Bakhityar Amin said the foreign fighters invading a sovereign Iraq include terrorists from Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Yemen, Egypt, Palestinian territories, Morocco, Turkey and Iran. The forces working against the new government of interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi are many, but through the smoke of exploded car bombs emerge some positive signs. Allawi proudly announced Monday that it was his government that steered U.S.-led forces to a safe house and weapons storage bunker of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's group, which was the target of a deadly air strike. His office issued a statement saying "There will be no more safe havens for terrorists.' Allawi's government is pairing with coalition forces to root out insurgents; so much for questions th...
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Police discovered a decapitated body in an orange jumpsuit and a head in a bag on the banks of the Tigris River, authorities said Thursday, prompting fears that a second Bulgarian hostage has been killed. The deepening hostage crises across Iraq led Kenya, facing an ultimatum by militants to behead three of its citizens in captivity, to tell its people Thursday to leave Iraq. The kidnappings have further complicated Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's efforts to persuade reluctant nations to join the U.S.-led coalition and send troops here.
