'Dozens' kidnapped at Baghdad Red Crescent office
Gunmen in police uniforms have kidnapped dozens of people at a Baghdad branch of the Red Crescent, as British Prime Minister Tony Blair arrived in the capital to meet Iraq's embattled leaders.
Witnesses and a Red Crescent official say the gunmen stormed the office in central Karrada in pick-up trucks, separated men from women and then took off with about 25 male employees, visitors and private security guards.
Police say between 10 and 20 people have been kidnapped.
Baghdad is plagued by daily kidnappings, both political and criminal.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Government is struggling to contain soaring sectarian tension and daily violence that the United Nations estimates kills more than 100 people a day.
Mr Blair has arrived in Baghdad to lend support to the Iraqi Government, which is under pressure from Washington to do more to stem violence between Shiites and Sunni Arabs.
The Iraq stop-over forms part of a Middle East tour aimed at helping to break a deadlock between Palestinian factions and nudge forward the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Mr Blair sees progress in that conflict as key to defusing regional tensions and helping to stem the Iraqi insurgency.
In turn, progress in Iraq is vital to Mr Blair's legacy that looks set to be overshadowed by the war.
He will step down next year after a decade as Britain's Prime Minister.

25 Aid Workers Kidnapped In Iraq
(RTTNews) - Gunmen in Iraqi army uniforms on Sunday abducted about 25 employees from the office of the Iraqi Red Crescent and 3 security guards from the nearby Netherlands embassy in downtown Baghdad. The Red Crescent, which works closely with the International Committee of the Red Cross, had about 1,000 staff and some 200,000 volunteers in Iraq.
Reports said that armed men wearing commando-style uniforms arrived in five pickup trucks at the office of the Iraqi Red Crescent, saying they had been sent to check the premises. After entering the building, the kidnappers separated the men from the women and drove of the male employees and male visitors.
Antonella Notari, a Red Cross spokeswoman in Geneva, said that the Red Cross was assured by the Iraqi Interior ministry that they were actively searching for the abductees. "We don't know who they are. We don't know why they did this," said Antonella Notari.
Meanwhile, the secretary-general of the Iraqi Red Crescent, Mazin Abdellaha, appealed to the unknown kidnappers to free the hostages. "They represent a humanitarian agency that works for the general good, and this agency helps all people regardless of their sect or ethnicity," Abdellaha said.

It is worth to study as the News Agencies, Reuters, Associated Press UPI, and theirs transmitters the Mass Media are hiding the US-Iran collusion and theirs results.
Collusion is secret or illegal cooperation especially between countries or organizations. For example, USA and Iran, Brigade Badr and puppet police, puppet police and Death Squads. Death Squads and US Embassy, ...
The war in Iraq is the mother of all battles and that horrible ingredient, the collusion, shows its ugly face.
How in a city that, is all around, up and down saturated with hundred thousand troops and another security forces, can a gang with six pick-up trucks kidnapped dozens?
The previous kidnap in the Commercial Zone of Baghdad, two days ago, was similar inclusive the victims number. That fact said us that, the kidnappers go on with pick-ups for them and possibly with buses to haul the victims. That vehicle-paraphernalia in and exit thought a dense net of check points.
The forecast of a new sectarian cleansing US-Iran-backed in Baghdad is every day more evident.
Blair is in Bagdad. This new kidnap a Iran message to Tony don’t will like nothing at her ‘friend’ the Arabia’s King, Abdullah, The Guardian of Holy Sites,(DLTESG).
I hope that the Patriotic Resistance Iraqi have the weapons that it need for this future and decisive great battle.

Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Sunday, 3 December 2006. Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr,
Al-Fallujah, Sunday, 3 December 2006
US troops burn down Red Crescent building in al-Fallujah, destroying US$250,000 of medicines and medical supplies.
In a dispatch posted at 4:08am GMT time Sunday morning, Quds Press reported that US forces burned down the headquarters of the Iraqi Red Crescent in the city of al-Fallujah, about 60km west of Baghdad on Sunday morning. The Red Crescent is the equivalent of the Red Cross in Islamic countries.
The correspondent for Quds Press reported a source in the Red Crescent as saying that US troops raided the building located in the al-‘Askari neighborhood of the city. After searching the facility, they fired a number of incendiaries and bombs setting the whole place on fire. The Americans remained on the scene until it was completely burned, preventing local people from extinguishing the blaze.
The headquarters contained a large amount of medical equipment and medicines, since the Red Crescent used the building as their main stockpile of supplies for the city. Witnesses calculated the loss as having been worth a quarter of a million US dollars. The Americans gave no explanation for their act of destruction.

Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 2 December 2006. Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board, the Free Arab Voice.
Baghdad, Saturday, 2 December 2006
Thirty-seven thousand Sunnis being held, tortured in Iraqi puppet regime prisons, spokesman for Association of Muslim Scholars says; 300-400 victims found dead every day.
In a dispatch posted at 8:22pm Makkah time Saturday night, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Shaykh ‘Abd as-Salam al-Kubaysi, a spokesman for the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq, the highest religious authority for Sunni Muslims in the country, said that 37,000 Sunnis are being held prisoner by the puppet regime across the country. He said that they face slow deaths by torture, the trademark of the Shi‘i sectarian militias and the regime’s Shi‘i sectarian security agencies, if nothing is done to secure their release.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported al-Jazeera net as quoting al-Kubasi saying: “37,000 Sunni prisoners in Iraq are facing a slow death and if we keep silent about this, it will mean that they will all die.
The member of the Association of Muslim Scholars said that hundreds of bodies of Sunnis who have been tortured to death show up in the streets of Iraqi cities, particularly Baghdad, every day. These are victims of the US-installed Shi‘i sectarian “Iraqi Interior Ministry.”
Al-Kubaysi confirmed that the official statistics on the number of people found tortured to death on a daily basis are grossly understated. The true number, he said, is between 300 and 400 every day – all of those Sunnis.
The Shaykh denounced Sunni Iraqis to collaborate with the puppet regime, with the “Parliament” and “Government” of the US-installed “Prime Minister” Nuri al-Maliki, saying that they are playing the role of “evil witnesses” and he demanded that the Sunnis in the puppet “Parliament” and “Government” stop their activity which only serves to confer some sort of legitimacy on al-Maliki’s “sectarian government in Iraq.”
Al-Kubaysi also denounced the role being played by the regional hegemonic power Iran, saying that it is no less dangerous than that being played by the US. Tehran backs the pro-Iranian sectarian gangs, in particular the Jaysh al-Mahdi led by Shi ‘ sectarian cleric Muqtada as-Sadr and the Badr Brigades of the so-called “Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq” (SCCIRI) led by ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-Hakim, he noted.

This lunatic WHO post these nonsensical titles
I said in, UN: Palestinians in Iraq threatened By: Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR in htt p://www.iraq-war.ru/article/112253 that,
First, all News Agencies, Mafkarat al-Islam, Reuters, AO, UPI, Fars News, IRNA, RIA Novosti, Interfax, Itar-Tass, REGNUM. . ., report titles are changed by the journalist in the local redactions. In all that “work in the title” is usual.
A apparent triviality hide of core matter, the informative interest. For example, in this title, “Pentagon Asks $99.7 Billion More for War,Yearly Record. 120 aircraft losses since the 911-01”, not censured by intissar, the news it is the 99.7 B, not at all, it is a dark and hide paragraph, 120 aircraft losses…
In the title censured by intissar and his squad in Iraq-war, said, “250.000 Iraqi Shiites& US troops.”, it is more real, have more verisimilitude and interest that the cleansing of the title, “Iraqi-American troops.” and "250.000 troops is a big number." There, lies the interest informative and military. This number, 250.000 occupation troops saturating Baghdad, is implicating militarily many things, many serious things. The joint defence of Shiites Iraquies and US troops the pure true.
I said in the same site that, "the semantic is very important in the information, because, the semantic determines the signification." the meaning, the sense.
ZionShiite squad in Iraq-war, with this title, hide the reality and the informative interest. But how serpent this squad, accomplice of the Buratha Mosque murderers, said that it is for the truth, objectivity, intellectual integrity.
TWO
In the rage of the debate I forgotten a important fact on intellectual integrity.
All, ALL, original titles ALWAYS had been respected. ALL and ALWAYS.
This position only has affected at a 0.001% of my post.
That FACT, to mantain always the original titles, show that there are not a ‘criminal intentions’ but there is position, a political position against the Mass Media ‘neutrality’ that shelled, shielded that collusion. A evident truth is being emasculated. The collusion and the emasculation are the matters that intissar hide.
Can we readers of the Iraqi Resistance Report, people that see the WMD malice, the destruction of the International Law based in Westphalia, stand in silence? Don't break the neo colonialist's informative semantic Wall?
The question is, FACTS show that there is COLLUSION between US and Iran in Iraq with fatidic results.
intissar said In this case over an above (beside the ethics of changing titles) it is factual wrong !.
Factual wrong? Show that fact. I am sitting with this thing two days. But now there is a FACT that invalided of collusion posture. SHOW IT.
When, I weighted this serious matter, several months, and when the major news agencies hide this fact, I think what it was convenient launch a URGENT WARNING.
There is a famous contemporaneous French psychoanalyst that analyzed the Heisemberg’s Principle in the psychology. He studied a syndrome that he named “The Letter volee” a tale of Edgar Allan Poe. He, the psy., talk about hided evidences in particular that hided behind a mountain the facts “write in stone.”
Mass Media had originated a “Letter vole” with the Iraq war, with the collusion. It is nonsensical!!! US and Iran are enemies!!!, yes, but in Iraq they form a convenient marriage, they are in bed. The casuistic on it very huge I send two examples, al-Fallujah and Association, but I could send hundreds, in the International Tribunal on Iraq there are thousands.
I found that collusion, "The letter volée", reading on the Baker-Hamilton Commission.
The intellectual integrity, intissar, in this debate over the titles, is that, you don’t responses anything at background debate, with your good English, for example
It is the first time in the modern History that a Muslim country, a Shiite Muslim country, Iran, accord with a plan neo colonialist of occupation of another Muslim country at side of the Classical neo colonialist potencies.
No. You said, intissar1 on 15.12.2006, 22:24 htt p://www.iraq-war.ru/article/112253, that
“I Took note as I took note who is the illiterate AND actually the fruit cake who is posting utter nonsense.”
My response, ZAM on 15.12.2006, 22:40
You don’t says anything intissar. You as fascist launch a ominous menace “I took note . . .
On LUNATIC NONSENSE you have two letters from al-Fallujah and the Association. More, if there is nonsense why it is not faced? Why it is not in termini exposed the contradiction, the fallacy, the factual wrong?
The only intissar’s irrefutable truth is that I write a bad English, It is true. I only hope that it have a sufficient logic and meaning.
Wittgenstein said, if a thing can be show why saying it? Well, it is in a first paragraph in the “Tractatus.” Pardon please my bad English.
intissar SHOW THE FACTUAL WRONG

Not only I couldn't stomach to read all your irrational garbage, I could not even comprehend it.
This said.
At the time of al-Fallujah, al-Sadr and the overal Shiia community stood with their Iraqi brothers and sisters. They sent aid to the city.
The puppet government was nominally secular (ex-baathist Alawy) and the party that mostly betrayed was the Islamic Party (Sunni). The Iraqis collaborator that accepted to shoot were mostly Kurdish Pshemerghas (sunnis)
If this is not factual I don't know what is.
Closed subject
