4 US Soldiers Killed by an Iraqi Soldier, 14 Iraqis Killed in Two Bombings, Government Admit Funding Murderous Sectarian Militias, According to November 12, 2008 News Reports

Editor's Note (Below)

==================================


Yaqen.net reported the following Tuesday news:

- Iraqi Ministry of Interior announced laying off 62,000 employees, who were members of the sectarian militias (Shi'i Badr and Mahdi Army militias) for killing other (Sunni) Iraqis, just because of their different religious sect.

This is a very serious admission that most of the sectarian violence was perpetrated by the US-backed Iraqi sectarian government, through government-paid paid militiamen.

- Four US soldiers were killed today, three were injured by an Iraqi soldier in Mosul today. The soldier, Barazan Muhammed Abdullah, is from Telkif. He used his machine gun, which was mounted on the army pick up truck when the US patrol passed by him in Al-Zunjili area, in Mosul.
