(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - “We strongly condemn the air raids by U.S. warplanes on some areas of Missan Province,” Rafi’e Abdul-Jabbar told Aswat al-Iraq news agency, expressing surprise for “non-informing the Iraqi security bodies with the operation (by the U.S. side).”
Abdul-Jabbar considered “the bombardment of peaceful areas in Missan Province as a hostile attempt to plant terror among its peaceful inhabitants,” pointing out to the “existence of bad intentions by the occupation forces against the people of the Province, reflected in such attacks.”
A Missan security source has informed Aswat al-Iraq that the city of Amara, the center of Missan Province, had witnessed U.S. air raids on Monday and Tuesday, against its Ufiya and Abu-Rummana areas, using live ammunition.
The Iraqi Army suspects that the said areas had been used by armed groups to launch rockets on al-Buteira military airport, used as a by the U.S. and Iraqi security forces, 5 kms to the north of Amara.
Amara, the center of Missan Province, is 390 km to the south of Baghdad.
