Palestinians in Iraq allege persecution

[drdon326]

Following reports that Palestinians have been involved in the latest wave of terrorist attacks in Iraq, Palestinian Authority officials on Sunday expressed deep concern that the new Iraqi government would deport thousands of Palestinians.

The officials told The Jerusalem Post that Iraqi security forces had recently arrested dozens of Palestinians in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities on charges of helping terrorists launch suicide attacks against Iraqi policemen and US troops. Some of the Palestinians who were arrested alleged that they had been tortured during interrogations.

"We're very concerned for the safety of the Palestinian community in Iraq," said one official. "We believe the new government in Iraq is targeting Palestinians because of their support for the former regime of Saddam Hussein."

Iraqi security officials confirmed last week that a number of Palestinians had been arrested for allegedly aiding insurgents in carrying out suicide attacks that killed hundreds of Iraqi civilians over the past two months. Some of the suspects later appeared on Iraqi TV, where they confessed to their role in the carnage.

10. no, it was just a mistake...

Ali al-Shalah, an Iraqi academic, defended the crackdown on Palestinians in his country. He said many Palestinians had made a mistake by joining Saddam's security services and participating in the oppression of Iraqi citizens.

Yeah, a lot of Germans made "a mistake" when they joined the National Socialist party too. Sheesh...

I guess its ok when iraq arrests palestinian terrorists but when israel does it, then get the UN and EU involved.
