Regime anti-riot forces start attacking
SMCCDI News Services
Mar 16, 2004
The Islamic republic regime's anti-riot units and plainclothes men have opened the charge, at this time 21:35 local time, against the demonstrators in southern Tehran, Esfahan's Tchahr Bagh and the city of Mashad by using knives, clubs and chains. Unconfirmed reports are stating about the use of plastic bullets in Esfahan and the Sadeghieh square of Tehran.

Several have been badly wounded during the attacks but fierce resistance is being made by thousands of young Iranians, male and female, who are opposing the attacks by the use of all available tools and especially Molotov cocktails which were made for such eventuality.

Most under reported story in the world....The reason is this might be positive reflection on the Bush administration and just might be right on the mideast...NY Times CBS CNN will not carry anything that might be positive to Bush.....How much time did they give to Lybia giving up all their WMD's..2 minutes..Its a big story...but they will spend 15 minutes on Bush when he misspeaks.

Kurds 'killed' in Syria clashes

Trouble was first reported in Qameshli on Friday
There have been further clashes between Arabs and minority Kurds in north-east Syria, with unconfirmed reports of several more deaths.
Turkey's Anatolia news agency said security forces opened fire on Kurds marking the anniversary of the 1988 gas attack on the Iraqi town of Halabja.

It said three people were shot dead in Aleppo and four in the town of Afrin.

Syrian officials denied there had been any political unrest, but said two people were killed in "tribal clashes".


A cabinet statement blamed the trouble on elements seeking to "sow anarchy and sabotage public institutions and private property," the French news agency AFP reported.

Syria has an estimated two million Kurds among its 17 million population, concentrated mainly in the north-east of the country.

The first violence came after a brawl at a soccer match last Friday in Qameshli near the border with Turkey and Iraq.

At least nine people were killed and a railway station, schools and public offices were badly damaged.

IRAN ERUPTS? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Secondhand, from an Iranian:

I am listening to KRSI (Radio Sedaye Iran) right now. There are many Iranians calling (from Tehran, and Gorgan, etc.).

All reports indicate that almost every neighborhood in Tehran is on fire. People are throwing home-made bombs, Molotov cocktails, etc. into the homes of mullahs, and burning pictures of Khamenei in complete defiance of his recent edict to mourn during the month of Muharram.

Background: Khamenei delivered a declaration (not really a fatwa, although some say it was) to Iranians to honor the month of Muharram, which started about two weeks ago, and to mourn and not have any parties of merriment. Well, the problem is that the Iranian New Year (Nowrouz), March 20th (totally non-religious and cultural event -- although Zoroastrian in origin) falls in the middle of this, and Iranians were enraged about this edict.

Tomorrow is the last Wednesday of the Iranian calendar year (called Chahar Shanbeh soori), and traditionally Iranians burn small bonfires and jump over them and celebrate the ending of the old year and welcome the new.

As a measure of defiance of Khamenei's Islamic Rule, and in celebration of ancient (non-Islamic) Persian customs, Iranians have taken to the streets in complete defiance of Khamenei's edict, saying that they will 'burn the mullahs out of their homes'. They are celebrating Chahar Shanbeh Soori. There are huge bonfires, bomb-throwing, merriment and the welcoming of the last days of the mullahcracy. In their own way Iranians are making a huge statement.

You can listen to the news yourself (in Farsi of course) everyone is very happy and celebrating defying the mullahs and burning of Khamenei's picture and trying to burn all mullah's houses. There are people calling from all over Tehran, from Gorgan, and northern provinces... It is amazing!
