US army 'seized Iraqi homes'
17 Nov 2006

A leading Iraqi lawyer has accused the US army of throwing 211 families,
including his, out of their homes. Rabah al-Alwan, head of the Union of
Lawyers in al-Anbar governorate in western Iraq, said that the US army has
occupied his family's house and those of with dozens of other families in
al-Ramadi, the capital of al-Anbar governorate.

Al-Alwan said the US army had installed snipers on the roofs of the houses
to prevent anyone approaching the area they have taken over.

He said: "They killed a lot of people, such as Ayad Mutar and Muhamad Ayad,
for approaching their houses to try to get some of their families' clothes
and belongings."


"A delegation representing the evicted families contacted the US army to
find out how long they intend to stay in their properties," al-Alwan said.


"In the beginning they [US army] promised to compensate the families, and
later on they promised to leave, but here I am talking ten months after the
seizure and nothing happened."
