Art of death in the Mesopotamian

Mohammed, Last of Iraqis

I think many have heard about the methods used for torturing prisoners or politic prisoners to take confessions from them , we heard about the Russian who was poisoned with Uranium , or what happened in Abu-Ghraib , but I don't think that many people know what the militias and AQ does to Iraqis not to take confessions from them or force them to do anything , but just to kill them and enjoy their death and cause the maximum grief and suffer to their parents and beloved , or maybe terrorizing the people even more and make the people wish that they die by a bullet or an explosion , it's a blessing now if an Iraqi dies by a bullet or an explosion. even death in Iraq isn't like anywhere else , those militias and AQ seems to enjoy killing and I think they look at it as an art or something , the more weird and savage the way they kill people in , the more creative they look at it , because as I said they look at it as an art! the stories that I'm going to tell are real and they happened to people I know directly or from the people they know , that means that there are many other "creative methods" that I will not mention. I'll start with a method that AQ and many other militias like the Mahdi-Army uses , which is the drilling and extraction , when they kidnap someone whether they ask for ransom or not ; in most cases he will be killed even if the ransom is paid , they use the drill "regular drill" to open holes in the arms , legs , chest , head and even eyes of the kidnapped.that's of course before they kill him because he will die by the drill , and in many cases before they use the drill they tend to use another method for the enjoyment because the kidnapped might die fast when they use the drill ; they use a pliers to extract his teeth and nails , and only god knows how painful to extract a tooth with a pliers , I think it even hurts more than the drill , because I know what to do to extract a tooth and what happens if these extraction procedures weren't done , I think many heard of this method , but I said it first because it's the most common and the nicest one among the others.... continua / continued

Torture and rape reported in Iraqi children prisons

Kareem Zair, Azzaman

Even children can be detained in Iraq placed in special jails. But that is not enough. They can also be raped, tortured and burned. That is the new picture emerging from the U.S.-led 'liberation’ of a country that has been bleeding since U.S. and allies invaded it in 2003. The children languish in prisons administered by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s government. It seems the only story of success U.S. invaders and their Iraqi lackeys can boast of is the construction of numerous prisons now available across the country.Arab satellite television channels shocked their viewers last week when they aired footage of children bearing marks of torture. The children were detained during military operations in Baghdad neighborhoods of Adhamiya, Latifiya, Doura and Hay al-Amel. The children had no capacity to commit any wrongdoing but they were jailed because they carried names revealing their sectarian identity...
