- A number of Iraqis apprehended two Americans disguised
in Arab dress as they tried to blow up a booby-trapped car in the middle
of a residential area in western Baghdad on Tuesday.
-
- Residents of western Baghdad's al-Ghazaliyah district
told Quds Press that the people had apprehended the Americans as they left
their Caprice car near a residential neighborhood in al-Ghazaliyah on Tuesday
afternoon (11 October 2005). Local people found they looked suspicious
so they detained the men before they could get away. That was when they
discovered that they were Americans and called the Iraqi puppet police.
-
- Five minutes after the arrival of the Iraqi puppet police
on the scene a large force of US troops showed up and surrounded the area.
They put the two Americans in one of their Humvees and drove away at high
speed to the astonishment of the residents of the area.
-
- Quds Press spoke by telephone with a member of the al-Ghazaliyah
puppet police who confirmed the incident, saying that the two men were
non-Arab foreigners but declined to be more precise about their nationality.
-
- Quds Press pointed out that about a month ago, the Iraqi
puppet police in the southern Iraqi city of al-Basrah arrested two Britons
whom they accused of attempting to cause an explosion in the city. The
Britons were taken into custody by the Iraqi puppet police only to be broken
out of prison by an assault of British occupation troops. That incident
has created a tense relationship between the British and the local puppet
authorities in al-Basrah, Quds Press noted.
