Re: Killings were unprovoked murder, insists MoD By Kim Sengupta and Mary Dejevsky 26 June 2003 The killings of six British soldiers in Iraq were described by senior officers yesterday as "unprovoked murders" by a frenzied mob. But local people claimed the confrontation was started by the Royal Military Police (RMP) firing on a demonstration. Iraqi civilians also insisted that the deaths and an ambush of a patrol of paratroops were provoked by aggressive weapons searches by British troops. They claimed that women and children were threatened and Muslim religious sensibilities offended. [...] news.independent.co.uk "...and Muslim religious sensibilities offended." LOL... Indeed, Muslim sensibilities have been stirred since --according to a French reporter in Baghdad who was interviewed on the Belgian radio this morning-- UK soldiers are using DOGS to search dwellings for weapons, explosives, etc. As you know, dogs aren't your average Muslim's favorite pets.... So much for Britain's crack troops' "Arab expertise"! Gus
