IRAQ: The government is burying en mass hundreds of bodies of victims of violence which have been lying in Baghdad morgue for several months.

Government sources, refusing to be named for fear or retribution said, at least 2,252 bodies have been buried in the Shiite holy city of Karbala.

But the government itself is making no secret of the burials. A government-related website said on Wednesday that 93 more bodies were buried in Karbala.

It said they were all numbered and pictured before burial. It also said, the 93 bodies could not be identified and have been lying in the morgue for a long period. No one has come forward to claim them.

The dead were victims of current sectarian strife in the country. It is not clear why so many bodies had remained in the morgue for so long period without anyone asking for them.

Comment:

This will not happen if President George W Bush did not launched the US-led pre-emptive war against Iraq beginning 2003 – a war based on falsehood and deception. This will also not happen if The United Nations Security Council is not being dominated by superpowers like the US and Britain – neo-imperialists of the 21st century. – Ruhanie Ahmad.
