Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has decided to send reinforcements to the restive Anbar province to combat al-Qaeda-linked militants there.
According to Iraqi media, Maliki reversed his decision to withdraw army from the western province in response to requests from residents and local officials. Earlier, the prime minister defended his decision to deploy troops in the restive province, saying the battle against terrorism would continue to the end. On Wednesday, Iraqi security forces entered sporadic clashes with militants who burned four police stations in Ramadi. Anbar province has been gripped by deadly violence since Monday after police and the army dismantled an anti-government protest camp in Ramadi.

The Iraqi government has established a fact-finding committee to probe the killing of at least 16 Iranian gas pipeline engineers and workers.
Iran\'s ambassador to Iraq Hassan Danaeefar says the committee was established based on an order by Prime Minster Nuri al-Maliki and is comprised of army commanders and intelligence officers. Iran\'s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the terrorist attack. On Friday, gunmen attacked workers at a gas pipeline project stretching from Iran into Iraq. 18 people, including 16 Iranians, lost their lives. Violence in Iraq has hit a five-year high since the beginning of this year. The United Nations estimates that at least eight-thousand people have been killed in 2013.

Iraqi prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki has blamed QUOTE \"diabolical and treacherous\" Arab states for the recent surge of violence in Iraq.
Maliki says Iraq is a target for certain countries that support evil and terrorism. He warned that violence has started to expand and will ultimately reach the countries which are backing it. Maliki did not specify which countries support violence in Iraq. In the past, Iraqi authorities blamed Saudi Arabia and Qatar for fueling unrest in their country. Iraq has seen a surge in terrorist attacks over the past year. The army, in recent weeks, has been fighting militants from al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in the western province of Anbar. On Sunday, it launched a major offensive against the militants in the provincial capital, Ramadi.

Clashes between police and gunmen at an anti-government protest camp in central Iraq have left over a dozen people dead.
The violence came after security forces were deployed to dismantle the camp in the city of Ramadi in Anbar province. Police sources say the clashes broke out when gunmen opened fire on security forces. At least ten gunmen and three policemen were killed. The defense ministry says the decision to remove the protest camp came after a deal reached between the ministry, tribal leaders and local government. Now, there are also reports of heavy gunfire in the city of Falouja in the same province. Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had repeatedly vowed to remove the one-year-old camp accusing protesters of stirring strife and sheltering al-Qaeda-linked militants.

The body count keeps rising: More than 500 people have been killed in May. And April: the deadliest month since June 2008, the death toll at more than 700.
The extent of the violence is increasingly reminiscent of the widespread sectarian fighting that peaked in 2006 and 2007 and threatened to tear the country apart. But what is fanning the flames of this sectarianism in Iraq?
In this edition of The Debate we are going to examine the roles of regional countries, like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar, and ask guests about US role, and what plans PM Nuri al Maliki has to tackle this problem.

I have heard this story repeatedly, and you too must have heard it. Hajji Nuri also mentions it. They say that one day \\\\\\\'Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, may Peace be upon him, was delivering a sermon from the minbar. Suddenly Imam Husayn (\\\\\\\'a) said, \\\\\\\'I am thirsty, Imam \\\\\\\'Ali said, \\\\\\\'Let someone bring water for my son.\\\\\\\' The first person to get up was a little boy, Abu al-Fadl al-\\\\\\\'Abbas (\\\\\\\'a). He went out and got a jar of water from his mother. When he returned carrying the jar on his head, his head was drenched in water as it spilled from the sides. This story is narrated in its elaborate detail. Then, when the Commander of the Faithful\\\\\\\'s eyes fell on this scene, tears flowed from his eyes. He was asked why he was crying. He told them that the ordeals that this young son of his would face had come to his mind. You know the rest of the story, which serves the purpose of a point of departure for switching to the tragic scenes of Karbala\\\\\\\'. Hajji Nuri has an excellent discussion at this point. He writes, \\\\\\\"Now that you say that \\\\\\\'Ali was delivering a sermon from the minbar, you should know that \\\\\\\'Ali spoke from the minbar and delivered sermons only during the period of his caliphate. Hence, the episode must have occurred in Kufah. At that time Imam Husayn was a man of about thirty-three years.\\\\\\\" Then he remarks, \\\\\\\"Is it at all a sensible thing for a man of thirty-three years to say all of a sudden, in a formal gathering while his father is delivering a sermon, \\\\\\\'I am thirsty!\\\\\\\' \\\\\\\'I want water!\\\\\\\" If an ordinary man does such a thing, it would be considered ill-mannered of him. Moreover, Hadrat Abu al-Fadl, too, was not a child at that time but a young man of at least fifteen years.\\\\\\\" You see how they have fabricated the story! Is such a story worthy of Imam Husayn? Aside from its fictitious character, what value does it have? Does it elevate the station of Imam Husayn or does it detract from it? It is definitely detracting to the dignity of the Imam, as it ascribes a false act to the Imam and detracts from is station by bringing the Imam down to the level of a most ill-mannered person who, at a time when his father - a man like \\\\\\\'Ali - is delivering a sermon, feels thirsty and instead of waiting for the session to be over, suddenly interrupts his father\\\\\\\'s sermon to ask for water.\\\\\\\'

One example of such fabrications is the story of a messenger who has brought a letter for Abu \\\\\\\'Abd Allah (\\\\\\\'a) and he awaits a reply. The Imam tells him to come after three days and collect the reply. After three days on inquiring he is told that the Imam was departing the same day. He says to himself, \\\\\\\"Now that he is setting out, let us go and watch the majesty and glamour of the prince of the Hijaz He goes and there he sees the Imam, together with other Hashimis among men, seated on splendid chairs. Then the camels are brought bearing the litters draped in silk and brocade. Then the ladies emerge and with much honor and ceremony they are escorted into these litters. This description continues in this vein until they make the digression to switch to the scene of the eleventh day of Muharram, to compare the glamour and honor of this day with the sorry state of the womenfolk on the latter day. Haji Nuri calls such descriptions into question. He says, \\\\\\\"It is history which says that when Imam Husayn left Madinah he recited this Qur\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'anic verse:
He left it in the state of fear and concern. (28:21)
That is, he likened his own departure to that of Moses, son of \\\\\\\'Imran, when he fled for the fear of the Pharaoh.
He said, \\\\\\\"It might be that my Lord will guide me to the right path.\\\\\\\"(28:22)
The Imam had departed with a most simple caravan. Does the greatness of Imam Husayn lie in his sitting, for instance, on golden chairs? Or does the greatness of his family and womenfolk lie in their using litters draped in silk and brocade, or their possessing fine horses and camels and a retinue of lackeys and servants?!

A worse fabrication is the one mentioned by Hajji Nuri. As you know, in the heat of the battle on the day of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Ashura\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\', the Imam offered his prayers hurriedly in the form of salat al-khawf. The Shari\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ah stipulates certain modifications in the obligatory salat, the daily ritual prayers, when offered in conditions of war and danger of the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s attack. The salat thus offered is referred to as salat al-khawf; (see the Quran, 4:101). And there was no respite even to offer full prayers. In fact, two of the companions of the Imam came to stand in front of him to shield the Imam (against the arrows) so that he may offer two rak\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ahs of the salat al-khawf. The two of them fell from the injuries inflicted under the shower of the arrows. The enemy would not even give respite for offering prayers. Nevertheless, they have concocted a story that the Imam called for a wedding ceremony on this day, declaring, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'It is my wish to see one of my daughter wedded to Qasim.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' Obviously, one cannot take one\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s wishes to one\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s grave.
By God, see what kind of things they have attributed to a man like Husayn ibn \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Ali, things the like of which we sometimes hear from persons of a very mediocre character, who express a wish to see the wedding of their son or daughter in their life. And this is said to have occurred at a time when there was hardly any respite even for offering prayers. They say that the Hadrat said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'I want to wed my daughter to my nephew here and now, even if it is just an appearance of a wedding.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' One of the things that was an inseparable part of our traditional ta\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ziyahs was the wedding of Qasim, the boy bridegroom. Such an episode is not mentioned in any reliable book of history. According to Hajji Nuri, Mulla Husayn Kashifi was the first man to write this story in a book named Rawdat al-shuhada\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' and it is totally fictitious. The case here is similar to the one about which the poet says:
Many are the appendages that they have clapped upon it,
You will hardly recognize it when you see it again.
Were the Sayyid al-Shuhada\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' to come and observe these things (and, of course, he does from the world of the spirit, but were he come into the world of appearance ) he will find that we have carved out for him companions that he never had. For instance, in the book Muhriq al-qulub - whose author was, incidentally, an eminent scholar and jurist, but who had no knowledge of these matters - that one of the companions to appear out of nowhere on the day of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Ashura\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' was Hashim Mirqal, who came bearing an eighteen cubits long spear in his hand. (After all someone had claimed that Sinan ibn Anas - who according to some reports severed the head of Imam Husayn - had a spear sixty cubits long. He was told that a spear could not be sixty cubits. He replied that God had sent it for him from the heaven!) Muhriq al-qulub writes that Hashim ibn \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Utbah Mirqal appeared with a spear sixteen cubits long, whereas this Hashim ibn \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Utbah was a companion of Amir al-Mu\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'minin \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Ali and had been killed twenty years earlier.
We have attributed several companions to Husayn ibn \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Ali that he did not have, such as the Za\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'far the Jinn. Similarly, there are some names among the enemies that did not exist.

It is mentioned in the book Asrar al-shahadah that \\\\\\\'Umar ibn Sa\\\\\\\'d\\\\\\\'s army in Karbala\\\\\\\' consisted of one million and sixty thousand men. One may ask, where did they come from? Were they all Kufans? Is such a thing possible?
It is also written in that book that Imam Husayn himself personally killed three hundred thousand men in combat. The bomb that destroyed Hiroshima killed sixty thousand people. I calculated that if we assume that a swordsman kills one man every second, it would take eighty-three hours and twenty minutes to massacre a force of three hundred thousand. Later, when they saw that this number of those felled by the Imam did not fit with a day\\\\\\\'s duration, they said that the day of \\\\\\\'Ashura was also seventy-two hours long!
Similar things are said concerning Hadrat Abu al-Fadl, that he killed twenty-five thousand men. I calculated that if one man were killed per second, it would require six days and fifty and odd hours to kill that many. Therefore, we have to admit what Hajji Nuri, this great man, says, that if one wanted to mourn the Imam today and narrate the ordeals of Abu \\\\\\\'Abd Allah, may Peace be upon him, one should lament over these new tragedies, over these falsehoods, which have been incorporated in the accounts of his martyrdom.
Another example relates to the day of \\\\\\\'Arba\\\\\\\'in. At the time of \\\\\\\'Arba\\\\\\\'in everyone relates the narrative that leads the people to imagine that the captives of the Imam\\\\\\\'s family arrived at Karbala\\\\\\\' on the day of \\\\\\\'Arba\\\\\\\'in, and that Imam Zayn al-\\\\\\\'Abidin met Jabir (ibn \\\\\\\'Abd Allah al-Ansari) there. However, excepting the Luhuf, whose author is Sayyid ibn Tawus and who has denied it in his other books, or at least has not confirmed it, such an episode is not mentioned in any other book, nor does it seem very reasonable to believe it. But is it possible to expunge these stories, which are repeated every year, from the people\\\\\\\'s minds? Jabir was the first visitor to Imam Husayn grave, and the significance of \\\\\\\'Arba\\\\\\\'in is also nothing except that it is the occasion for the ziyarah of Imam Husayn\\\\\\\'s tomb. It is not for the renewal of mourning for the Ahl al-Bayt, nor on account of their arrival in Karbala\\\\\\\'. Basically, the road to Madinah from Syria is not through Karbala\\\\\\\' and the two ways diverge from Syria itself.

Description:
It is mentioned in the book Asrar al-shahadah that \\\\\\\'Umar ibn Sa\\\\\\\'d\\\\\\\'s army in Karbala\\\\\\\' consisted of one million and sixty thousand men. One may ask, where did they come from? Were they all Kufans? Is such a thing possible?
It is also written in that book that Imam Husayn himself personally killed three hundred thousand men in combat. The bomb that destroyed Hiroshima killed sixty thousand people. I calculated that if we assume that a swordsman kills one man every second, it would take eighty-three hours and twenty minutes to massacre a force of three hundred thousand. Later, when they saw that this number of those felled by the Imam did not fit with a day\\\\\\\'s duration, they said that the day of \\\\\\\'Ashura was also seventy-two hours long!
Similar things are said concerning Hadrat Abu al-Fadl, that he killed twenty-five thousand men. I calculated that if one man were killed per second, it would require six days and fifty and odd hours to kill that many. Therefore, we have to admit what Hajji Nuri, this great man, says, that if one wanted to mourn the Imam today and narrate the ordeals of Abu \\\\\\\'Abd Allah, may Peace be upon him, one should lament over these new tragedies, over these falsehoods, which have been incorporated in the accounts of his martyrdom.
Another example relates to the day of \\\\\\\'Arba\\\\\\\'in. At the time of \\\\\\\'Arba\\\\\\\'in everyone relates the narrative that leads the people to imagine that the captives of the Imam\\\\\\\'s family arrived at Karbala\\\\\\\' on the day of \\\\\\\'Arba\\\\\\\'in, and that Imam Zayn al-\\\\\\\'Abidin met Jabir (ibn \\\\\\\'Abd Allah al-Ansari) there. However, excepting the Luhuf, whose author is Sayyid ibn Tawus and who has denied it in his other books, or at least has not confirmed it, such an episode is not mentioned in any other book, nor does it seem very reasonable to believe it. But is it possible to expunge these stories, which are repeated every year, from the people\\\\\\\'s minds? Jabir was the first visitor to Imam Husayn grave, and the significance of \\\\\\\'Arba\\\\\\\'in is also nothing except that it is the occasion for the ziyarah of Imam Husayn\\\\\\\'s tomb. It is not for the renewal of mourning for the Ahl al-Bayt, nor on account of their arrival in Karbala\\\\\\\'.

Iraqi Journalist Throws Shoes At George Bush AT the press conference on 14th dec 2008. The journalist says in Arabic - It is the farewell kiss you dog
A journalist has thrown a pair of shoes at George W. Bush, as the President arrived in Baghdad on an unannounced farewell visit to Iraq.
The Iraqi journalist threw the shoes, when the US president was shaking hands with the Iraqi prime minister Nuri al-Maliki in his office in Baghdad on Sunday, AFP reported.
The Iraqi who was sitting in the third row 'jumped up' shouting "It is the farewell kiss, you dog," the report says.
He then threw his shoes one after the other towards Bush. The president was reportedly not hurt, as the shoes did not hit him. Iraqi security staff 'frogmarched' the journalist out.
Bush arrived in Baghdad on Sunday on what has been called a farewell trip to a country which has cost the US thousands of military servicemen and billions of dollars.
Five years of invasion has killed tens of thousands of Iraqis, while according to Human Rights Watch during the deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's reign, 250,000 to 290,000 people were killed over 20 years.
