the city of Hit, about 170km northwest of Baghdad.

The Hit correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported local 
eyewitnesses as saying that the mortar shells scored direct hits on 
the American-occupied building, sending plumes of smoke rising into

American warplanes demolish private home killing family of six near

In a dispatch posted at 10:49am Makkah time Sunday morning, Mafkarat 
al-Islam reported that US warplanes struck a residential home in the 
area of as-Sqlawiyah, northwest of al-Fallujah, about 60km west of

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses who

a civilian home in the az-Zagharid area of as-Saqlawiyah, completely 
demolishing the house and killing the entire family of six who lived

about 30km west of Baghdad.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses as 
saying that the bomb went off by a column of several troop 
transports, Humvees, and minesweepers.  The blast disabled a

Baghdad.

Pro-US Shi`i sectarian militias burn 14 Sunni students with sulfuric 
acid, drill holes in their heads with electric drills.  Families 
must bribe ambulance drivers to get bodies of tortured murdered 
loved ones.

In a dispatch posted at 8:55pm Makkah time Sunday night, Mafkarat al-
Islam reported that fourteen bodies of Sunni youths who had been 
savagely tortured and murdered were delivered on Sunday to the 
Forensic Medicine Center in central Baghdad's Bab al-Mu`azzam 
district.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported families of the 
victims area said that all 14 were college students who were about 
to finish up and graduate.  But on Friday, 23 June, pro-American 
Shi`i sectarian militiamen, wearing the uniform of the American-
backed Iraqi puppet army, arrested them from their homes in the 
predominantly Hur Rajab section of Baghdad and took them away.

Their bodies showed up Sunday in the Forensic Medicine Department 
where the medical experts issued a report saying that the victims 
had been burned with concentrated sulfuric acid and electric drills 
were used to punch holes in their skulls.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the families 
were only able to retrieve the bodies of their sons by paying two 
ambulance drivers a million Iraqi dinars to get them out of the 
morgue. Pro-American Shi`i sectarian militias have positioned 
themselves around hospitals for about one month, ready to arrest 
Sunnis who come to pick up the bodies of their loved ones.  This has 
prevented Sunni families from being able to recover bodies of 
relatives tortured and murdered by the sectarian militias that 
operate with the backing of the US occupation regime.

The families in Hur Rajab therefore collected a million Iraqi dinars 
as a bribe to pay the ambulance drivers so that they might bring the 
bodies of the victims to a neutral place in the occupied Iraqi 
capital where the relatives would be able to recover them.

puppet government of Nuri al-Maliki had been holding secret talks 
with high-ranking US military commanders and former generals and 
officers the Iraqi Army from before the American invasion.

The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported a highly 
placed source who asked to remain anonymous as claiming that serious 
and high-level talks were under way and that 30 commanders of the 
Iraqi Army from before the US invasion – including men with the rank 
of Lieutenant General, Major General, and Brigadier General – were 
taking part in the discussions along with the American occupation 
commanders.

The source alleged that the talks are focused on several issues, 
including returning officers in the former Iraqi Army to their posts 
and giving them their back pay for the period from 9 April 2003 
until the present.  Other points under discussion include the hand 
over of command in the American-created Iraqi puppet forces to the 
Iraqi commanders from the pre-invasion era.  Another point on the 
agenda under discussion is the release of all the currently-
imprisoned Iraqi officers – naval, air force, and ground forces – in 
return for a complete halt of their military and material support 
for the Iraqi Resistance, and an effort to convince the Resistance 
to lay down its weapons and join the US-sponsored political system, 
in which Resistance commanders would be given governmental posts.

The source told Mafkarat al-Islam that the negotiations were still 
underway on a daily basis, having begun three days earlier. The

going along with the proposals or not.

Imprisoned Iraqi President Saddam Husayn still on hunger strike, 
lawyer says.

In a dispatch posted at 2:20pm Makkah time Sunday afternoon,

representing President Saddam Husayn at the American show "trial"

Iraqi President planned to remain on hunger strike until specific 
demands, brought up by the murder of attorney Khamis al-`Ubaydi on 
Wednesday, 21 June, had been met.

President Saddam Husayn was demanding that the murderers of al-
`Ubaydi be punished and that permission be granted for the formation 
of a body to ensure the protection of the lawyers and their 
transportation.

that Saddam Husayn had gone off his hunger strike was to try 
to "avoid responsibility for maintaining the security of the 
subjects of states under American occupation."

10 July.
