How would you know jj!?
I don't know for certain, but if you say they are Shia. Then I would assume they were part of the Mahdi army, the Mehdi army engaged in surges before 2006 with the US army on Sunni extremist groups. Notice how they are blindfolded and handcuffed, I'm certain they were rounded up.
So you automatically assume the sunni's were the terrorists because they were being beheaded by the shia's?
I bet you would say the sunni's were the terrorists when they were the ones beheading shia's, right?

You don't have any evidence to support your claim, only assumptions.

Not at all, since American's were against Al-qaeda or Wahhabi groups in Iraq. I'm not denying there were never any reprisal attacks from Shias, but the majority of the Shias aren't secterianists. Since none of this secterianism existed before 2003.

Foreign oil companies may suspend operations in Iraq

14.11.2013

Baxtiyar Goran
BasNews (Erbil):

A British oil worker has been critically injured after dozens of angry Shia workers attacked Schlumberger Ltd camp at southern Iraq’s Rumaila oilfield on Monday.

A British security advisor asked Iraqi workers to remove banners of Imam Hussein, greatly revered by Shia. Not obliging, the British citizen removed the banners himself, allegedly tearing one of Imam Hussein, which sparked a wave of anger among workers.

The incident took place only days before the Day of Ashura, Shias’ commemoration of the death of Imam Hussein.
Iraqi media sources have reported that a number of foreign workers in Iraq’s south oilfield are preparing to leave the country, fearing for their lives.

Dozen of them have already registered for departure, and are now waiting on flight tickets.

Oil companies such as Schlumberger, British Petroleum and China National Petroleum Corporation in Basra province became angry and offended by the attack; this has resulted in the possible suspension of operations in Basra, and the rest of Iraq.

Following the incident, the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki released a statement in which he declared that the British worker was to be expelled from the country as a consequence of his abusive behavior towards the principles of the citizens.

The video of the attack went viral very quickly, spreading through social media sites. Facebook page “1000 apologies for the British security adviser attacked in Basra”, has been urging Facebook users to like the page as a mark of apology towards the British worker.

Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham militants say sorry for decapitating a fellow extremist rather than enemy

Al-Qaeda-linked rebels apologise after cutting off head of wrong person


Militant Islamist rebels in Syria linked to al-Qaeda have asked for "understanding and forgiveness" for cutting off and putting on display the wrong man's head.
In a public appearance filmed and posted online, members of Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, one brandishing a knife, held up a bearded head before a crowd in Aleppo. They triumphantly described the execution of what they said was a member of an Iraqi Shia militia fighting for President Bashar al-Assad.
But the head was recognised from the video as originally belonging to a member of Ahrar al-Sham, a Sunni Islamist rebel group that often fights alongside ISIS though it does not share its al-Qaeda ideology.
After inquiries, an ISIS spokesman admitted he was Mohammed Fares, an Ahrar commander reported missing some days ago. This could not be independently confirmed, but in an earlier video of a speech by Mr Fares he bears a close resemblance to the severed head in the later video.
The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, which monitors deaths in the Syrian conflict, and several activists on social media said that ISIS fighters misunderstood comments Mr Fares made referring to the Imams Ali and Hussein, the founding fathers of Shiism.

An ISIS spokesman, Omar al-Qahtani, confirmed that Mr Fares had been injured and, thinking he had been captured by members of a Shia militia against which he was fighting, asked them to kill him in terms misunderstood by the ISIS members in fact taking him to hospital.
It is thought he was wounded in the battle for Base 80, a military zone being fought over near Aleppo.
In explaining the error Mr al-Qahtani made reference to a story in which Mohammed said Allah would forgive a man who killed a believer in error.
The mistake, of a sort commonly cited as an argument against the death penalty around the world, is indicative of the chaos within rebel ranks, particularly since the rise of ISIS over the summer. Several other Islamist groups have formed alliances without its participation, but it continues to exercise control over large areas of northern Syria.
Its ferocity has given rise to an exodus of moderate and secular activists, and brought to an end an uneasy truce between the Free Syrian Army and Kurdish militias, the most prominent of which has in the last month taken on ISIS and driven them out of a number of towns in the north-east.
Meanwhile, Mr Assad's forces have used the internal rifts in their enemies' ranks to make progress on a drive south-east of Aleppo. This week, a group of Islamist rebels put out an appeal for a mass mobilisation against the advance, while there are repeated rumours that major Islamist militias which do not support al-Qaeda are about to declare a common front.
Mr Qahtani said the incident would be investigated by the appropriate judicial authorities.

He didn't just throw away the flags. He shoot two workers. He deserves getting beat up. If this was Iraqis burning a british flag and shooting two white brits, the british police would have a field day with them. He deserved every punch. This shows how arrogant racist foreign workers, can't hide behind their privilege. They had to remove all western forces from cities in iraq.... because they were behaving badly. Only god knows how many crimes they commited and got away with. This is a small token of justice, against arrogant, racists foreigners. Who think they can hurt the local population and do whatever they want, and get away with it. Because the government is too much of a p***y to defend its citizens. This is why he fired his gun, he knows that nothing will happen to him if he wounds and attacks the local populace.

Police and the army intervened to restore order and expelled the protesters from the site.

"We advised the British security contractor to step back and leave this issue as it is very sensitive for the workers, but instead ... he went himself and removed the banners and tore one of Imam Hussein," said an Iraqi worker, who witnessed the incident.

"Workers were provoked and squabbled with the British guy, but he suddenly pulled out a pistol and started shooting, and wounded one Iraqi worker," the man said.

Syrian army captures key town of Qara from rebels
9 November 2013 Last updated at 18:52 GMT

The Syrian army has taken control of Qara, a town near the Lebanese border.

The area is strategically significant, as it was on one of the opposition's last remaining supply routes.

The army launched its offensive on Friday, carrying out a series of air strikes and helicopter attacks. Thousands of Syrians fled into Lebanon.

Rebel group Jabat al-Nusra said that it and other groups had withdrawn from the area, and many rebels are reported to have been killed.

Qara lies 100km (60 miles) north of Damascus.

The Syrian government now controls the road linking the coast to the capital.

This means that the rebel-held suburbs around Damascus, which are already under siege and bombardment, will now be under even more pressure, correspondents say.

'In full control'
Government warplanes and artillery pounded Qara and its surrounding countryside on Monday, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.

Rebels responded by shelling Damascus with mortar rounds that have hit the city almost every day over the past two weeks, leaving dozens dead or wounded.

About 10,000 Syrians are thought to have fled over the border to Lebanon, which is already hosting more than 800,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict.

But on Tuesday, state TV reported that troops were "in full control of Qara after wiping out all terrorist units in it".

A Syrian military source quoted by the AFP news agency said that a "large number of terrorists" had been killed.

The town has been in rebels hands for more than a year.

The Observatory confirmed that government troops were now in control of Qara.

It said the rebels, including members of the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, had withdrawn, vowing to return at the earliest opportunity.

The Lebanon-based satellite TV channel al-Mayadeen - reporting from inside the town - said that troops had begun dismantling mines and explosives planted by the rebels. The channel showed soldiers on patrol searching for booby traps.

Correspondents say that the border offensive is part of a larger government push that began last month to capture opposition-held areas.

So far a succession of rebel-held suburbs south of Damascus have fallen to government forces, as well as areas around the northern city of Aleppo.

In Southern Iraq, Basra Threatens Autonomy

ERBIL, South Kurdistan - Local authorities in Iraq’s southern Basra province have threatened to break away from the central government in Baghdad and create an autonomous region of their own.

The warning comes as the country is grappling with increasing violence and Baghdad is failing to deliver basic services to the province.

In the north, Iraq’s Kurds run their own autonomous South Kurdistan.

The idea of an autonomous Basra was rekindled by MP Wail Abd al-Latif, who told Rudaw that, “Efforts toward making Basra an autonomous region is a project and not a trump card against the central government.”

He noted that this project has been in the making for a number of years and conforms fully to the Iraqi constitution.

Just days before drafting the final version of the Iraqi constitution in 2005, the issue of a southern Shiite autonomous region caused heated divisive debate among Iraqi politicians.

An autonomous Shiite region that includes several southern provinces is considered the brainchild of Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the former leader of the Supreme Islamic Council of Iraq (ISCI).

Hakim advocated for a Shiite autonomous region modeled after the South Kurdistan. However, divisions between Shiites and strong Sunni opposition defeated the project.

According to Abd al-Latif, the project has the full backing of Basra’s residents. He said that the marginalization of the province by the central government is the main reason behind it.

“Starting this month, the committee assigned with making Basra an autonomous region will take new legal steps through forming a council made up of representatives from all the towns and sub-districts of Basra,” he said.

Basra is often considered as Iraq’s lifeline, thanks to its rich oil wealth and other natural resources. It is also the country’s only gateway by sea to the outside world.

In 2010, 22 members from 35 Basra Provincial Councils signed a petition demanding Baghdad hold a referendum in the province in accordance with the Iraqi constitution, so that residents can choose if they want to remain under Baghdad or form their own autonomous government. But the demand fell on deaf ears at the prime minister’s office.

The State of Law party of Prime Minister Nuri al Maliki’s weak performance in the April 20 provincial elections in Basra, in which the party’s seats decreased from 22 in 2009 to 16 in 2013, could help revive the idea of a Basra autonomous region.

Abd al-Latif argued that the Basra region would not resemble Kurdistan because the South Kurdistan was already an established fact on the ground.

“If Basra became an autonomous region, it would be different from the South Kurdistan, because the South Kurdistan was a reality before the formation of the new Iraq and its achievements were incorporated into the Iraqi constitution,” he explained.

“The region of Basra would be compatible with the current Iraqi laws and constitution,” he said.

Jawad Bazouni, a member of parliament from Basra and a strong advocate of its autonomy bid, told Rudaw that, “the current Iraqi constitution defines Iraq as a federal country, so it is within the rights of each governorate to demand autonomy.”

Bazouni complained that for years, under various justifications, Basra’s bid for autonomy has been delayed.

Over the past several months the Sunni provinces of Anbar, Salahdeen and Diyala unilaterally declared autonomy from Baghdad, citing worsening security, unfair treatment of Sunnis and lack of services by the government. However, Baghdad dismissed the moves as “unconstitutional.”
