CNN Downplays Second-False Flag Bombing of Golden Mosque in Follow-up Story-- the Update Obscures the Previous 'Inside Job' Report by Replacing the Link & Killing the Story

CNN | June 13, 2007




COMMENT: Now CNN has changed the damning 'inside job' headline (see SCREEN SHOT) to a more disguised story that downplays significance. CNN replaced the link and effectively killed the story that this is the 2nd FALSE-FLAG bombing of the Golden mosque (see Feb 2006)-- one of Iraq's most holy places. Both were believed to have been carried out in part by Iraqi forces and directed by Western intelligence. Such self-inflicted violence is only used as a tool to enrage the opposition and further perpetuate the Iraq War. Of course, it just came out that the U.S. is arming Sunni insurgents 'to fight al-Qaeda'-- further evidence that the West seeks to extend the war. Naturally, the bombing has already led to retaliation-- a desired and planned response.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Authorities have evidence that Wednesday's bombing of Al-Askariya Mosque in Samarra was an inside job, and 15 members of the Iraqi security forces have been arrested, a U.S. military official said.

The attack Wednesday destroyed two towers, referred to as minarets, at the revered Shiite shrine, police said. It was a repeat of the 2006 bombing that sparked Iraq's current wave of deadly sectarian violence.

There was no immediate word on casualties in the city north of Baghdad.

The U.S. military official, Maj. Gen. Benjamin Mixon, told CNN's Karl Penhaul that he believes members of the Iraqi security forces who were guarding the site either assisted or directly took part in helping al Qaeda insurgents place and detonate explosives at the mosque's minarets.

"He told me there was no evidence at all that this was an attack using mortars or anything of the like and said, in his words, that this was an inside job," Penhaul told CNN's "American Morning."

Mixon said an additional Iraqi army brigade will be sent to Samarra. So far, there have been no reports of sectarian clashes in the city.

Within hours of the attacks, Iraqi state television announced that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had imposed a curfew for Baghdad until further notice.

A U.S. military official in northern Iraq told The Associated Press that Samarra appeared calm by Wednesday afternoon.

Agenten opgepakt wegens aanslag op moskee Samarra

BAGDAD - De Iraakse veiligheidsdiensten hebben donderdag dertien politieagenten opgepakt die betrokken zouden zijn bij de aanslag op de heilige moskee in de stad Samarra op woensdag.

De arrestanten waren verantwoordelijk voor de beveiliging van de moskee. Vlak na de explosie, waarbij de twee minaretten van het gebedshuis werden verwoest, spraken betrokkenen al het vermoeden uit dat de aanslag van binnenuit was voorbereid en gepleegd.

Een aan al-Qaida gelieerde soennitische groep heeft veertien Iraakse militairen en
agenten geëxecuteerd. Dit maakte de ”Islamitische Staat in Irak” donderdag bekend via een filmpje op een website die vaker door deze organisatie is gebruikt.

De opstandelingen verklaarden de mannen te hebben gedood omdat niet alle gedetineerde soennitische vrouwen in Irak waren vrijgelaten zoals ze hadden geëist.

Jij hebt nog nooit eerder gezien dat nieuws sites hun kop aanpassen?
En heb je mijn linkje naar het bericht gezien waar wel degelijk te lezen valt dat CNN melding nog steeds melding maakt van een inside job?

Verder vind ik dit bericht (gewijzigd of niet) wel degelijk 'n BNW onderwerp. Kunstmatige terreur.
NWS is het ook, BNW en nieuws zal elkaar wel vaker overlappen.
