[news] Death and Humiliation in Iraq

[Resist!ca]

"My sources in Baghdad...said there have been fierce clashes today in the al-Amiriya district of Baghdad between resistance fighters and Iraqi and US soldiers. 'Open gun battles in the streets,' as one friend told me, 'And as soon as the Iraqi and US soldiers leave the area, the resistance takes it back over'....Keep in mind that all of this is against the backdrop of well over 50 per cent unemployment, horrendous traffic jams, and an infrastructure in shambles that continues to degrade with next to no reconstruction occurring in Baghdad."
