| US-UN Silence over Ashraf massacre |
The Middle East is riddled with strange and
rather unpredictable episodes. But this one sure is one of the top ones. On
September 1, Iraqi special operations forces, at the behest of the Iranian
regime, entered Camp Asharf, home of Iranian dissidents in Iraq and shot dead
52 unarmed and defenseless refugees who were all ‘Protected Persons’ under the
4th Geneva Convention.
Most victims were handcuffed, identified and
then executed with a bullet in the head. They took seven of the residents, six
women and one man as hostage.
