The Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, today condemned the killing in Iraq of Salih Saif Aldin, a reporter for the Washington Post newspaper, and of three Al Watan reporters: Jasim and Mohamed Nofaan, Zeyard Tariq; and freelance journalist Dhi Abdul-Razak al-Dibo. “I condemn the killings of Salih Saif Aldin, Jasim and Mohamed Nofaan, Zeyard Tariq, and Dhi Abdul-Razak al-Dibo,” said the Director-General. “The apparently systematic targeting of journalists in Iraq, shows how disturbing it is for the war mongers to see their crimes exposed. This in turn highlights how important free and independent reporting is for the restoration of peace and democracy in Iraq.” “I must, once again,” Mr Matsuura added, “pay tribute to the men and women, most of them Iraqi nationals, who show such indomitable courage in the face of danger and carry on with their important professional work.” All of the latest media victims of violence in Iraq were Iraqi nationals. Salih Saif Aldin was shot at close range while photographing fire-damaged houses in a street in Baghdad on 14 October. On the same day, Jasim and Mohamed Nofaan and Zeyard Tariq were murdered on the road to Kirkuk. Dhi Abdul-Razak al-Dibo was ambushed and killed near the city of Kirku north of Baghdad on 15 October. None of the gunmen involved in these crimes have been identified. According to Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the new killings bring to at least 54 the number of journalists and media assistants assassinated in Iraq since the start of the year. The International Federation of Journalists numbers a total of 234 media killings in the country since 2003. ****

We women of Tadhamun condemn the persisting practice of arbitrary arrests by the Iraqi security forces. We condemn their arrests of women in lieu of their men folk. These are 'inherited' practices. We are alarmed by credible media reports of the Green Zone government’s intentions of executing hundreds of Iraqi men and women.

Samarra Minrate built in 852 AD
Building of 1 500 massive police station !
From the angle of the photo, it is possible to calculate that the complex is being built at E 396388 N 3785995 (UTM Zone 38 North) or Lat. 34.209760° Long. 43.875325°, to the west of the Malwiya (Spiral Minaret), and behind the Spiral Cafe. While the point itself may not have more than Abbasid houses under the ground, it is adjacent to the palace of Sur Isa, the remains of which can be seen in the photo. While the initial construction might or might not touch the palace, accompanying activities will certainly spread over it.Sur Isa can be identified with the palace of al-Burj, built by the Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil, probably in 852-3 (Northedge, Historical Topography of Samarra, pp 125-127, 240). The palace is said to have cost 33 million dirhams, and was luxurious. Details are given by al-Shabushti, Kitab al-Diyarat. Samarra was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO at the end of June. The barracks could easily have been built elsewhere, off the archaeological site.-- Alastair Northedge Professeur d'Art et d'Archeologie Islamiques UFR d'Art et d'Archeologie Universite de Paris I (Pantheon-Sorbonne) 3, rue Michelet, 75006 Paris tel. 01 53 73 71 08 telecopie : 01 53 73 71 13 Email : Alastair.Northedge@univ-paris1.fr ou anorthedge@wanadoo.fr
