The bodies of 18 young Iraqi construction workers taken off a bus and executed last month while seeking work at a U.S. base have been found in a field near the city of Mosul. A terrorist group belongs to the so called armed resistance composed of reactionary political Islamic groups and Arab nationalists shot the men, who ranged in age from 14 to 20, on Dec. 8 after stopping their two mini-buses about 30 miles west of Mosul. The bodies were discovered Wednesday, 05.01.2005. Their hands were tied behind their back and each was shot in the head. All of the workers were from Baghdad's northern neighbourhood of Kadhimiya who had been hired by an Iraqi contractor to work at a U.S. base in Mosul.
Iraq under the occupation has turned into an international battlefield, this war put the entire region in a crisis, and it has also jeopardized the people’s safety and all aspects of life. Tens of civilians are falling dead on daily basis because of this war without having anything to do with it. Terrorism and terrorist acts are marching towards the residential areas, workplaces, markets and everywhere in the Iraqi society. Poverty, deprivation, and the lack of job opportunities are other results of destroying civility in Iraq.
In reality the Iraqi society now is sunken in a dark scenario. One of the dangerous aspects of the current situation is insecurity, which controls the whole society. The terrorist conflict between America on the one hand and political Islam and remnants of the Baath regime on the other breaches the lives, livelihood and the rights of citizens and workers and claims the lives of scores of them everyday.
We condemn strongly the series of killing, assassination and terror against Iraqi workers and we express our condolence to all families and relatives of these workers.
Down with terrorism
Immediate end of occupation of Iraq
