..now more stories about what happened in Samarra': (see below). Iraqi hospital sources are now reporting 8 Iraqis dead (not the 54 reported by US military). And they insist that they were civilians. Some accounts mention that the men may have been bank robbers waiting for a convoy of cars carrying the new Iraqi currency. So where does the figure 54 come from? And who were those people? And I also doubt that Saddam's Fida'iyyin would wear their identifiable uniforms, as the US media are reporting: let us not forget that many, if not most, Iraqis loath and detest those units of Saddam's worst henchmen, and regard them, rightly, as thugs as they did the dirty work of their leader `Udayy Saddam Husayn. Many Iraqis would arrest them or kill them if they see them. Mystery of the story expands.
