Iraq – Maliki’s Interior Ministry denies Camp Liberty is hit, rejects casualties!

Three residents of Camp Liberty killed by rocket attack on December 26, 2013.In the fourth rocket attack, 3 PMOI members were martyred and 71 were injured

Iraq’s Ministry of Interior that is under the control of Nouri Maliki himself, today (Friday, December 27), in an ignominious lie denied Camp Liberty has been targeted.

AlMadaPress Arabic language Iraqi news website wrote: the Interior Ministry “denied that the Katyusha rockets that were fired at Baghdad International Airport targeted Iranian dissidents”.

In a hideous lie that only mullahs ruling Iran are expert at, the interior ministry spokesman said, “these rockets landed in a deserted area near the airport, there were no casualties and investigation for determining the party that has been the target is ongoing.”

These absurd falsifications are while last night Associated Press reporting from Baghdad and quoting a “security official” emphasized that Camp Liberty has been attacked by rockets and Reuters similarly wrote, “Police sources confirmed the camp had been targeted by mortars and said four wounded Iranians had been transported to a hospital in western Baghdad.”

These absurd statements are made while expert teams from Iraq’s interior ministry and army are aware of details of this attack that left three dead and 71 injured and know the impact locations of the rockets inside Camp Liberty.

So far 36 points of missile impact have been identified at Camp Liberty, which has an area of 0.5km2. Four 107mm missiles have not exploded with the ever-present danger of detonation. A number of the missiles are 280mm surface-to-surface missiles, whose destructive power is 20 times greater than the 107mm rockets. Three of eight such missiles hit Liberty and the UN and UNHCR monitors as well as Iraq’s explosive experts have identified their points of impact.
