Association of Muslim Scholars : "dozens killed" in massive US bombing on Arab Jabbur thursday
The Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) on Thursday denounced the massive US bombing attack on areas west of ‘Arab Jabbur earlier in the day.
The AMSI declaration said that “US occupation forces, using B-1 war planes, bombed the ‘Arab Jabbur area at dawn Thursday, dropping 40,000-pound (18.100kg) bombs on pretexts that we have tired of hearing because of their falseness and mendacity, namely their ‘war on terror.’”
The AMSI statement continued: “The bombing was entirely targeted on homes of residents in the area and resulted in the deaths of dozens of innocent civilians, including women, children, and elderly people, in addition to wounding a comparable number.”
“This dastardly crime clearly demonstrates to the whole world the ugliness of those who committed it,” the statement went on. “It shows that they are totally unconcerned about people’s lives and do not care for the honor and esteem accorded to human beings in all divinely inspired religions.”
“The Association of Muslim Scholars denounces this dastardly crime and holds the occupation and the present government entirely responsible for it. It believes that they are the ones who fit the description of terrorists in all meanings and implications of the word. AMSI calls on the international community, the League of Arab States, and all human rights organizations in the world to emerge from their circle of murderous silence and to take up the role – at the very least – of making a stand in the face of the criminals who committed these acts.”
