Al-Sadr Aide Wants UN Intervention to Stop U.S. Anti-Insurgent Attacks

During an interview with “Al-Hayat” on July 26, Sheikh Salah al-Ubaydi, a top aide to radical Shi’ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, urged UN intervention to stop U.S. forces from committing crimes against the residents of the Sunni Baghdad district of Al-Husayniyah.

He claimed that occupation forces are scheming to commit mass murder against the people of Al-Husayniyah, and called on the United Nations to pressure the United States to stop.

“The lives of dozens of civilians, among them more than 25 were killed by artillery and helicopter bombardment. Four of them died from loss of blood because the occupation forces prevented the ambulances and medical teams from entering. Two entire families of 13 were killed since the start of the operations a week ago,” al-Ubaydi said. He also accused members of the Iraqi Interior Ministry of participating in the bombardment by providing U.S. forces with false or misleading information.
