[ECH1969]

Amman – Hazem Al Sha'lan, former Iraqi defense minister, has announced the creation of a party coalition, called "The Democratic Forces Union", which includes 15 Iraqi liberal parties that "believe in the democratic concept". It includes Shiaas, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Turkmen, Sabaens and Yazidis. Al Sha'lan clarified that the new party coalition would combine with "Al Iraqia" slate, headed by the former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, to enter the coming constitutional elections, and create "a united front".

He disclosed that the American and Iraqi forces were about to arrest "Abu Mos'ab Al Zarqawi", were it not for the "delay" of the American party, which led to the escape of the head of "Qa'idat Al-Jihad Fi Bilad Al-Rafidain".

Al Sha'lan stated, "After the arrest of Abbas Al Dailami, Al Zarqawi's assistant, who was carrying messages to Osama Bin Laden, head of Al Qa'ida, he confessed that Al Zarqawi was in a farm in Faluja, accompanied with the kidnapped Italian reporter Giuliana Sgrena. We have created an exploration force from planes and a military force to attack the site, nevertheless, the American party refused a speedy movement without estimating the risks, which led to the postponement of the military operation for ten days.

When attacking the farm, we did not find Al Zarqawi, but it appeared that the information was accurate as we found items that belong to the Italian reporter." He confirmed that the security forces have seized copies of the communication messages with Bin Laden, who used to hand it to him through the Iranian borders. He used to meet with Al Ghamedi in Afghanistan to receive answers from Al Qa'ida organization head. The former minister pointed out that al Zarqawi possesses "deterring means to be used when necessary." Al Zarqawi is characterized with "a security sense, moves in a woman's outfit, or carried on a wheel chair, or in Arab or Kurdish uniform, and maneuvers his movements with his presence in Baghdad, while leading operations in Musel of Diala."

4. In women's costume .. no doubt

Just MORE examples of how the U.S. mis-adminstration cannot keep their eye on a ball. Not even if thousands of lifes depend on it.
