In a dispatch posted at 9:59am
Baghdad time Monday morning, the Yaqen News Agency reported that
US-recruited “Awakening” tribal police murdered Sinan Raji al-Alusi a
man who had been released from prison a week earlier by US occupation
forces. It was the latest in a series of murders of men whom the
Americans have released only to be murdered by the Iraqi tribal
policemen, one of whose leaders has publicly pledged to kill every man
released by his American allies.
Yaqen reported a source in
al-Hadithah, 270km northwest of Baghdad, as saying that like all those
released from prison Sinan al-Alusi was required to register daily with
the “Awakening” police and it was on his way home from one such
registration that he was abducted.
The US-backed tribesmen attacked
al-Alusi who was riding on his motorcycle near a n old water treatment
facility in the city. The tribesmen stopped him and then shot him
execution style in the street, where they then left his body. The
source said that members of the police had confirmed the killing and the
fact that the “Awakening” was behind it. Eyewitnesses said that
government police vehicles were among those used by the patrol that
executed al-Alusi.
