Baghdad.
Jaysh al-Mahdi changes name of death squads to name “Division for Commanding Righteousness and Forbidding Evil.”
In a dispatch posted at 11:56pm Makkah time Sunday night, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the pro-Iranian Jaysh al-Mahdi Shi‘i sectarian militia had set up new armed formations under the name “Division for Commanding Righteousness and Forbidding Evil.”
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported informed sources that asked not to be identified as saying that the “Division for Commanding Righteousness and Forbidding Evil” is in fact a new name for the death squads that have returned from hiding in Iran, where they underwent additional training in murder and assassination.
The source said that the “DCRFE” had recently murdered a professor in the College of Fine Arts in Baghdad and other individuals condemned to die by the Shi‘i sectarian hierarchy.
The move to rename the Jaysh al-Mahdi’s death squads comes after US efforts to obstruct those squads led to the arrest of some of the more prominent killers of Iraqi Sunnis and as Shi‘i sectarian cleric Muqtada as-Sadr responds to Washington’s call upon him to play a more constructive role in cooperation with the US occupation of the country. (See related story below from an-Najaf entitled “Sectarian leader Muqtada as-Sadr reorients his movement to play “positive role” in US-occupied Iraq, in keeping with American desires.”)
Jaysh al-Mahdi believed behind murder of world-famous Iraqi calligrapher in Baghdad.
In a dispatch posted at 12:20am Makkah time Monday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that pro-Iranian Jaysh al-Mahdi Shi‘i sectarian gunmen shot and killed Khalil az-Zahhawi, one of the most famous calligraphers in the Islamic world, outside his home in Baghdad Sunday, in what is believed to be another of their sectarian murders.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that az-Zahhawi, a Sunni, is famous for his artistic calligraphic representations of the names of the Sunni Caliphs. He was attacked and killed while outside his home in the Baghdad al-Jadidah section of the occupied Iraqi capital. The British BBC reported that his body had been transported to Diyala Province for burial.
Az-Zahhawi had taught Arabic calligraphy to students from all over the Islamic world. It was said in Iraq that anyone hoping to succeed in the field of calligraphy would have to study with az-Zahhawi.
The murder is another of the many heavy blows that the US occupation has dealt to cultural circles in Iraq, where literally hundreds of professors, scientists, doctors, and other academics have been killed since the American invasion in spring 2003. Sunnis, in particular those with technical, academic, or scientific qualifications, have been subject to what appears to be an on-going campaign of extermination. The Zionist Mossad and Shi‘i sectarian death squads have been singled out for suspicion in the murders.
Pro-Iranian Jaysh al-Mahdi gunmen murder Palestinian in Baghdad Saturday, as Zionist-inspired drive to partition Iraq continues apace.
In a dispatch posted at 9:45pm Makkah time Sunday night, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that pro-Iranian Shi‘i sectarian Jaysh al-Mahdi gunmen shot and killed a Palestinian refugee in front of his home in Baghdad on Saturday.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported sources concerned with the affairs of Palestinian Refugees resident in Iraq as saying that Jaysh al-Mahdi militiamen loyal to pro-Iranian cleric Muqtada as-Sadr opened fire directly on Jalam Ahmad ‘Abd al-Hafiz in front of his house in the at-Tubji neighborhood of the Madinat as-Salam section of Baghdad on Saturday evening. ‘Abd al-Hafiz was killed in the attack.
The Shi‘i sectarian militias have particularly targeted Palestinian refugees ever since the US occupation of Iraq in 2003. Intent on implementing plans to partition Iraq on sectarian and ethnic lines that were drawn up by Zionist and American strategic think tanks, the Shi‘i sectarians have practiced wholesale kidnapping, torture, and murder of Palestinians, many of whom have lived in Iraq since being driven out of their homes in Palestine by the Zionist occupation in 1948.
According to United Nations estimates, out of the 34,000 Palestinians resident in Iraq at the time of the US invasion in the spring of 2003, there were only 15,000 still alive and resident in Iraq at the end of 2006. A report issued by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in Geneva on 27 December 2006 reported that Palestinians in Baghdad “live in a climate of constant fear and are unable to get proper documents.” Shi‘i sectarian militias regard the Palestinians as supporters of Arab nationalism and allies of the Ba‘th Party, which championed their rights in their homeland. Intent on building a Shi‘i state orientated on Iran in the southern and eastern parts of Iraq, the Shi‘i sectarians are thus opposed to ideas of Arab unity that embrace Sunni and Shi‘i Iraqis and view them as part of a broader Arab Nation, distinct from the nation of Iran.
Splitting up the Arabs has been a cornerstone of imperialist policy since the days of British colonialism and promoting Arab disunity has been a basic component of Zionist strategic thinking from the outset. The specific idea of “the dissolution of Iraq into a Shi‘ite state, a Sunni state and the separation of the Kurdish part” was voiced by veteran Zionist military correspondent Ze’ev Schiff in Ha'aretz on 2 June 1982 and was a part of the divide-and-rule strategy laid out by Zionist writer Oded Yinon in his “Strategy for Israel in the 1980s,” published in Kivunim (Directions), A Journal for Judaism and Zionism, published by the World Zionist Organization in occupied Jerusalem in February 1982. (It was translated by the late anti-Zionist writer and activist Israel Shahak and is widely available.)
The idea of splitting the Shi‘ah in Iraq from the rest of the country was a cornerstone of the neo-Conservative strategy laid out in “A Clean Break” a paper drawn up by American Zionist government officials Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, David Wurmser, and Paul Wolfowitz in 1996 for the then Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Then in 2000 the neo-Conservative Project for a New American Century wrote Rebuilding America’s Defenses on the basis of the “Clean Break.”
The American version of the strategy for a partition of Iraq appeared in the article “The Three-State Solution” published in The New York Times on 25 November 2003 by Leslie Gelb (President Emeritus of the US Council on Foreign Relations). The same idea was reiterated, this time with “bi-partisan support” in the article by Gelb and US Democratic Senator Joseph Biden in “Unity through Autonomy in Iraq,” in The New York Times on 1 May 2006.
Then on 8 October 2006 the London Sunday Times reported that the partition of Iraq along religious and ethnic lines was one of the suggestions that the Baker-Hamilton commission was advancing.
As Shi‘i sectarian killing spree continues, 20 more bodies found in Baghdad. Bodies of four Arab Iraqis found murdered in Kirkuk.
In a dispatch posted at 10:01am Baghdad time Sunday morning, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that the puppet police recovered the bodies of 12 unknown individuals who had been shot to death in various parts of occupied Baghdad.

Twelve bodies of puppet army soldiers found in ad-Durah.
In a dispatch posted at 3:46pm Makkah time Sunday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that sources in the puppet security system and hospitals reported that 12 bodies of puppet army troops had been found shot to death in the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported the puppet regime sources as claiming that its security men found the 12 bodies, some of which, they claimed “had been tortured,” in the al-Mu‘allimin neighborhood of the ad-Durah suburb.
A medical source in al-Yarmuk hospital in western Baghdad reported that puppet security men brought in 12 bodies of men ranging in age from 20 to 40 years who had died of gunshot wounds to the head.
US admits eight more of its occupation troops killed in Resistance attacks in Iraq.
In a dispatch posted at 11:55am Makkah time Sunday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the US military had admitted that eight more of its occupation troops had been killed in Resistance attacks in various parts of Iraq.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported an American statement as acknowledging that an Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US military vehicle somewhere in Salah ad-Din Province, killing three US troops and wounding two more of them, in a Resistance attack that took place Saturday.
Another Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded, according to the American communique´, somewhere “south of Baghdad,” killing one US soldier and wounding two more American troops and their Iraqi translator. The US statement said that the attack occured as the Americans were busy looking for Resistance fighters and weapons.
The US statement reported that one American Marine was killed somewhere in al-Anbar Province in fighting with the Iraqi Resistance.
Iraqi Resistance forces used explosives and light arms to attack American troops in the area of the northern Baghdad suburb of at-Taji on Saturday, the US statement disclosed. The American communique´ claimed that one US soldier was killed and three more of them wounded in that attack.
In a delay that went unexplained, as is usual with the vaguely-worded products of US military propaganda, the American communique´ added that two US soldiers had been killed on Thursday, 24 May 2007 when an Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded somewhere “east of Baghdad.”
In all, Mafkarat al-Islam noted, the American occupation command has admitted the death of 17 of its soldiers since Friday, 25 May 2007.

US troops and their puppet allies also arrested more than 40 residents of the area, shouting sectarian slurs and insults all the while.
The AMSI reported that puppet regime troops attempted to raid the area to carry out arrests but that armed men resisted. In the course of the clash, five cars belonging to the puppet “Order Preservation Forces” were burned.
