Injuries and arrests as Kurdish puppet police join chauvinist mobs
attacking Turkomans.

Two persons were injured and five arrested in clashes between
Turkoman and Kurdish residents of the ethnically mixed region
of Kirkuk in northern Iraq. The clashes erupted after Turkoman
residents fired light arms into the air as they greeted 92 Turkomans
returning to the city from Baghdad where they had demonstrated
against the efforts by Kurdish chauvinist parties collaborating
with the US occupation in marginalization of the Turkomans.

One Iraqi was killed and ten injured as a result of Turkoman
celebratory gunfire. Kurds set upon the Turkomans and in the
clashes two persons were injured.

Later, angry Kurds attacked the headquarters of the Turkoman Front,
the largest Turkoman party, led by Faruq 'Abdallah 'Abd ar-Rahman.
The Kurdish mobs destroyed the furniture, computers, and other
equipment in the offices and trashed 20 cars belonging to supporters
of the party that were parked outside.

Subhi Sabir, an official in the Turkoman Front said "the Kurds
were carrying Kurdish flags and pictures of the two leaders
Mas`ud Barizani and Jalal Talibani (Kurdish chauvinist leaders
who sit on the American-appointed puppet so-called Interim
Governing Council of Iraq under US proconsul Bremer)." Sabir
added, however, "we don't know if they (the mobs) took this
action under orders from those two parties or on their own
initiative."

Sabir said, "In addition to the angry Kurds, Kurdish members of
the city police took part in the attack and arrested seven persons
who worked in the office."

Agence France Presse (AFP) reported that afterward, US occupation
troops and puppet police ushered the Kurdish mobs out of the
Turkoman office, closed all the roads leading to the office, and
instituted a curfew.

US stooges agree to wipe out Arab character of proposed Iraqi puppet
state.

US stooges on the puppet so-called Interim Governing Council have
so far been unable to resolve differences over the outline and forms
to be followed by the future Iraq. They have agreed, however, that
the American-dominated constitution will omit the statement that
"Iraq is a part of the Arab Nation," a statement that had figured
in all Iraqi constitutions, and was a recognition of the fact that
at least 80 percent of Iraqis are Arab and that without the unity
of the Arab Nation, each of the statelets created by the imperialist
Sykes-Picot Agreement is easy prey to invaders and aggressors. This
fact is obviously confirmed by the aggressors themselves as they
seek to impose a constitution that obliterates Iraq's Arab character.

Reflecting views of imperialist-Zionist "divide and conquer," French
deputy echoes Washington insider calling for partition of Iraq.

French Deputy Axel Poniatowski contributed an article to the French
newspaper Le Figaro on Saturday, 28 February 2004, calling for the
partition of Iraq along sectarian and ethnic lines. Under the title
"Pour une partition de l'Irak" (For a partition of Iraq) Poniatowski
said that the unity of Iraq was a good but false idea and that it
could only be maintained by force. Poniatowski's comments echo the
position of figures in the US Administration in Washington who have
from time to time come out openly with calls for the partition of
Iraq into Shi'i, Kurdish, and Sunni Arab statelets which would
further facilitate Zionist and imperialist domination of the Arab
region. Leslie H. Gelb's article in The New York Times "The Three-
State Solution" on 25 November 2004, put forth precisely the same
idea, that Iraq could only be held together by "overwhelming, brutal
force" and therefor would be better divided up. In Le Figaro, the
globalist Poniatowski rhetorically asked: "who today would think
it logical to re-establish the former Yugoslavia or Soviet Union?"
The destruction of united resistant states is a major goal of
imperialist-Zionist globalism. As it seeks to extend its authority
it kicks open the door by inciting bloody ethnic and sectarian
conflicts.
