What exactly are US soldiers doing in Iraq?
In a dispatch posted at 5:53pm Makkah time Thursday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that US forces kidnapped a six-year-old elementary school girl, Maryam 'Abdallah, as she came out of her school in al-Habbaniyah, 90km west of Baghdad, on Thursday. Reports from al-Habbaniyah indicated that Maryam is the daughter of Shaykh 'Abdallah al-Mar'awi, a Resistance commander, and the abduction was apparently with the aim of pressuring the girl’s father to surrender.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported the girls uncle as saying that US troops abducted the girl in order to pressure her father into giving himself up, after they had failed to capture or kill him.
The uncle told Mafkarat al-Islam that Maryam’s mother had a heart attack and was rushed to the al-Fallujah General Hospital in an ambulance after people brought her her daughter’s school bag and one of her daughter’s sandals following the kidnapping.
Maryam, a first grade student was abducted by US troops as she left her school. The American soldiers put her in a Humvee and killed four youths who tried to free the little girl from their clutches.
