De 'oorlog tegen de terreur' Jan Boeykens - 13.11.2004 13:59
In België heeft Koen Dassen, hoofd van de Belgische Staatsveiligheid, zopas verklaard dat de Staatsveiligheid hechter met het leger gaat samenwerken. Die samenwerking was er reeds maar het comité I dat ondermeer moet toezien op de werking van de Staatsveiligheid, was daarvan niet op de hoogte. In bijlage: enkele fragmenten uit het BBC-nieuws over het drama in het vergeten Falluja. - Aid agencies say they are increasingly concerned about Iraqi civilians trapped in the besieged rebel city of Falluja. -There are more and more dead bodies on the streets and the stench is unbearable. -Up to 50,000 people may remain out of a pre-war population of 300.000. -The head of the Iraqi Red Crescent said a request to deliver supplies to civilians inside the city was turned down by the Iraqi government. There is no water, no food, no medicine, no electricity and no fuel. -A Red Cross worker said movement was "impossible" in the city. Wounded people bled to death before they could be helped. -More than 7,000 families have taken refuge in three major camps set up on the city's outskirts, the Red Cross told the Associated Press. The humanitarian situation in those displaced camps is also deteriorating because of the lack of... very basic human needs. |
