Alaa the Mesopotamian is reporting that al Iraqia, a local TV network, has been televising the confessions of terrorists captured in Mosul.
Al Iraqia, the local T.V. network has been showing confessions of terrorists captured in Mosul. Truly horrible details are emerging. They are so horrible that I hesitate to recount to you some of what has been said. And Syria seems to have been behind this particular network of terrorists. Watching carefully these confessions, I was trying hard to figure out whether they were genuine or fabricated. After very attentive observation of every gesture and carefully weighing every word, I reached the conclusion that they are most likely genuine.
This particular gang was lead by a Syrian intelligence officer; they were engaged in all kinds of bombings and murders, including many of the beheadings in Mosul.
The National Guards and the Governor and Police chief of the region are doing a fine job, probably the best at the moment. I shall probably tell you more about these horrendous confessions.
I wonder if we're going to see more of a turn in sentiment against the "insurgents" as they are so romantically called. And another thing. This makes at least two Iraqi bloggers with encouraging things to say about the Iraqi forces.
Update: The Washington Times is carrying the story of the confessions, but there's still no corroboration of it.
BAGHDAD — Iraqi state television aired a video yesterday showing what the U.S.-funded channel said was the confession of a captured Syrian officer, who said he trained Iraqi terrorists to behead people and build car bombs to attack American and Iraqi troops.
He also said the terrorists practiced beheading animals to train for decapitating hostages.
Later, Al Iraqiya aired another round of interviews with men it said were Sudanese and Egyptians who also trained in Syria to carry out attacks in Iraq...
The State Department said they were looking into the report, but as of late yesterday, they could neither confirm nor deny the veracity of the broadcast or that a Syrian intelligence officer had been captured.
