Shiite Pilgrims Demand Torture Inquiry
Friday August 10, 2007 11:16 PM

LONDON (AP) - Eight British and American Shiite Muslims who said they were detained and tortured by religious police during a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia called Friday for compensation and a full inquiry.
Group members, some of Iraqi descent and aged between 16 and 26, said they were visiting the Kaaba, the cube-shaped shrine in the holy city of Mecca that pilgrims circle, when Saudi police interrupted them and called them infidels.
The police noticed the group was praying in the Shiite manner, which differs slightly from the Sunni style, the accusers said. Saudi Arabia's official strict Wahhabi version of Sunni Islam considers Shiites heretics.
Many in Saudi Arabia are particularly suspicious of Iraq's Shiites, believing they discriminate against the country's Sunni minority and are too closely linked to Shiite-majority Iran.
One of the eight is Amir Taqi, the 23-year-old son of Ridha Jawad Taqi, a senior Iraqi lawmaker in the country's biggest Shiite political party.
``We were handcuffed and savagely beaten with sticks, chairs, belts, shoes and police communication devices,'' Amir Taqi told a London news conference. He said the men were denied food, water and access to toilets.
The seven Britons and one American produced photographs of injuries they said police inflicted on them. Images included bruising and spots of blood on one group member's head and cuts and bleeding from another's arm.
The group did not provoke the police, Taqi said.
Saudi Arabia's embassy in London was not immediately available to comment on the allegations.
On Tuesday, a Saudi official said there had been a ``dispute'' between an Iraqi and a Saudi that had nothing to do with religion or nationality.
Despite Saudi suspicions of Shiites, an attack on Shiite pilgrims would be unusual. Hundreds of thousands of Shiites visit the holy city each year without suffering physical harassment.
In a statement to reporters, the group said it was detained for 14 hours from Sunday to Monday afternoon. Aside from requesting compensation from Saudi authorities, the group wants guarantees about the safety of pilgrims.
Sayed Mohammed Jawad Al-Qazwini, a 26-year-old American also of Iraqi origin, told The Associated Press that police taunted the group as cowards when they refused to respond to provocation.
``You'll be killed and thrown to the dogs, and no one will ever know where you are,'' Jawad quoted police as telling them after they were detained.
But Jawad said he did not believe the men were targeted due to their Iraqi connections.

புதன் கிழமை மட்டும் 142 ஈராக்கியர்கள் ஷியா சுன்னி தகராறில் பலி
ஷியா சுன்னி தகராறினால், புதன் கிழமை மட்டும் ஈராக்கில் 142 பேர் கொல்லப்பட்டனர். இதில் ஒரு தற்கொலை குண்டுதாரி பெட்ரோல் டாங்கிய கொண்டுவந்து ஷியா பிரிவினர் மார்க்கெட்டில் வெடித்ததால் இறந்தவர்களும் அடக்கம்.
சுன்னி பிரிவினர் தங்க்ளுக்கு அதிக அதிகாரம் கொடுக்காததால் ஷியா பிரிவினர் மெஜாரிட்டியாக இருக்கும் ஈராக் அரசாங்கத்திலிருந்து விலகிய நாளே இவ்வளவும் நடந்திருப்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
Attacks Across Iraq Claim 142 Lives

BAGHDAD -- Baghdad shook with bombings and political upheaval Wednesday as the largest Sunni Arab bloc quit the government and a suicide attacker blew up his fuel tanker in one of several attacks that claimed 142 lives nationwide.
The Iraqi Accordance Front's withdrawal from the Cabinet leaves only two Sunnis in the 40-member body, undermining Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's efforts to pull together rival factions and pass reconciliation laws the U.S. considers benchmarks that could lead to sectarian reconciliation.

The U.S. military announced the deaths of four more American soldiers, including three killed in Baghdad on Tuesday by a powerful armor-piercing bomb. Washington says these types of bombs are sent from Iran. The fourth soldier was killed by small arms fire on the same day. A British soldier also was killed Tuesday in a roadside bombing.
The American military announced it found a mass grave in Diyala province northeast of the capital. The grave contained 17 bodies of mostly Sunni Muslims _ including women, children and elderly people _ killed by al-Qaida in Iraq, the military said in a statement. U.S. forces did not say how they knew the attackers were al-Qaida in Iraq.
Altogether at least 142 Iraqis were killed or found dead, including 70 in three separate bombings Wednesday in Baghdad. The violence came after July ended as the second-deadliest month for Iraqis so far this year, but with the lowest U.S. death toll in eight months.
Washington has been pushing al-Maliki's government to pass key laws _ among them, measures to share national oil revenues and incorporate some ousted Baathists into mainstream politics. But the Sunni ministers' resignation from the Cabinet _ not the parliament _ foreshadowed even greater difficulty in building consensus when lawmakers return after a monthlong summer recess.
President Bush prodded al-Maliki to unite rival factions and show some overdue political progress. the White House said.
The two leaders spoke for 45 minutes in a secure video conference, part of a regular series of conversations on the war and Iraq's struggling democracy.
"The president emphasized that the Iraqi people and the American people need to see action _ not just words _ but need to see action on the political front," White House press secretary Tony Snow said. "The prime minister agreed."
Rafaa al-Issawi, a leading member of the Front, said the decision to pull out of government was sealed by what he called al-Maliki's failure to respond to a set of demands put forward by the Accordance Front last week. At the time, the Sunni bloc gave the prime minister seven days to meet its demands _ an ultimatum that expired Wednesday.
Among the demands: the release of security detainees not charged with specific crimes, the disbanding of militias and the participation of all groups represented in the government in dealing with security issues.
"The government is continuing with its arrogance, refusing to change its stand and has slammed shut the door to any meaningful reforms necessary for saving Iraq," al-Issawi said at a news conference in Baghdad.

ஈராக்: புட்பால் கொண்டாட்டத்தில் பலி 50 ஆக உயர்வு
ஆஸிய புட்பால் பந்தயத்தில் ஈராக் அணி வெற்றி பெற்றதை கொண்டாடிய கூட்டத்தில் புகுந்து ஷியா பிரிவினரை கொன்ற சுன்னி தீவிரவாதியின் பலித்தொகை 50 ஆக உயர்ந்தது.
இரண்டு கார் பாம்கள் வெடித்துள்ளனர். மன்சூர் பகுதியில் வெடித்த கார் பாமின் பலி 30 காயம் 75
கிழக்கு பாக்தாதில் செக்பாயிண்ட் அருகே வெடித்த கார் பாமின் பலி 20 அறுபது பேர் படுகாயம்
Bombs mar Baghdad soccer celebrations, kill 50

BAGHDAD, July 25 (Reuters) - Gunfire erupted across Baghdad and Iraqis danced in the streets on Wednesday after their soccer team's historic Asian Cup win, but two suicide car bombs marred the war-ravaged nation's rare moment of unity.
Police said a suicide car bomb exploded near a crowd of jubilant Iraqis, killing 30 and wounding 75 in Baghdad's Mansour area.
Soon after, another suicide attack at an army checkpoint in east Baghdad killed another 20 people and wounded 60, many of them soccer fans celebrating nearby, police said.
The bombings were a sharp reminder of the sectarian violence between deeply divided Shi'ite Muslims and minority Sunni Arabs that has killed tens of thousands.
In Sadr City, a sprawling Shi'ite slum in Baghdad, women threw sweets to dancing soccer fans with Iraqi flags draped over their shoulders. Some families sacrificed sheep as celebrations dragged on into the evening.
Sadr City ice cream and juice shops gave away free treats, a rare sight in the district, a stronghold of the feared Mehdi Army militia of anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
Thousands of fans poured into the streets in all areas of Baghdad as well as Shi'ite Basra and Kerbala in the south and Kurdish cities like Arbil, Kirkuk and Sulaimaniya in the north.
In Baghdad's Karrada district, soldiers standing in the gun turrets of Humvee armoured vehicles waved to dancing soccer fans and police joined in.
The celebrations began moments after Iraq beat South Korea in a dramatic semi-final penalty shootout, to reach the Asian Cup final for the first time.
"I am nearly crying for joy. Iraq's victory with this harmonious team represents the way we should all live together," said Nuri al-Najjar, a 30-year-old fan in Basra.
UNITED IN VICTORY
Iraqis in the autonomous northern region of Kurdistan even waved Iraqi flags in a rare display of national unity. Kurds normally view the Iraqi flag as an Arab symbol.
"Life for Iraq, life for Iraq," fans in Sulaimaniya chanted.
Soccer-mad Iraqis, who have had little cause to celebrate during four years of unrelenting violence and chaos, have avidly followed their team's progress through the tournament.
Many obtained extra fuel to make sure generators kept going during Wednesday's match, the national power grid too unreliable to keep domestic appliances running.
State television flashed a warning from military commanders urging people not to fire guns into the air, but the warning appeared to go unnoticed as jubilant fans fired pistols and AK-47 assault rifles.
The crackle of gunfire could still be heard in Baghdad hours after the match ended. One person was killed and 17 wounded in the capital by falling bullets, police said.
Three people were killed and about 50 injured by falling bullets on Saturday after Iraq beat Vietnam to reach the semi-finals.

BAGHDAD: A suicide car bomber struck the center of a major Shiite city in southern Iraq on Tuesday, killing at least 22 people and wounding dozens, police and hospital officials said.
The explosion occurred at 9 a.m. as the streets were packed with shoppers and people on their way to work in a commercial district in Hillah, according to provincial police.
Most of the 22 killed and 66 wounded in the blast, said Ayad Abdul-Zahra of the general hospital in Hillah.
Hillah, about 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of Baghdad, has been the site of some of the deadliest bombings, including a double suicide attack on March 6 that killed 120 people
