War Blogs From Iraq

Today the BBC published excerpts from blogs written by Iraqi's caught up in the daily violence of the war and sectarian attacks. The story from the BBC News


Iraqi Rocker or "Meemo" is a 19 year old man living in Baghdad.

Wednesday, December 13 2006: The Mehdi militia tried to take over our neighbourhood, but they couldn't. I think they will try again later.

The other team that is trying to take over the neighbourhood is al-Qaeda.

They don't attack in the same way as the Mehdi army; they are more bloody.

They use sidewalk bombs, they get inside people's houses and kill everyone.

Both teams are killers, I don't like either of them and I want them both to burn in hell. IRAQI ROCKER



Chikitia is a 27 year old woman living in Baghdad.
Monday, December 18, 2006: Am I the only one who believes that the post-invasion crimes committed by the government-backed militias have kind of desecrated the memory of the mass graves victims?

Isn't it ironic that such an appalling crime makes Saddam look like an angel, compared to today's Satans. At least the bodies were buried when he was in power; he didn't give orders to dump them in piles of trash with the three bullets to the head trademark.

On second thoughts, I think Iraqis should be thankful to the democratically elected government.

But for them, we wouldn't have felt the sense of equality; when bakers and academics, the rich and poor have all become victims of the militia-infiltrated security agencies as well as hard-line insurgents.
frist words, first walk, frist.... in IRAQ

Monday, December 18 2006: A car filled with explosives exploded about 20 meters away from the outer gate of my house.

The car exploded when an American army patrol was passing in the street. There were no injuries to American soldiers or civilians.
Electricity high tension wires got destroyed and now the neighbourhood is without any electricity at all. Nabil's blog
