Shame on you Mr. RaoufMar 9th, 2007 - 22:24:10

Hope of a brighter future in my homeland was kindled by news of the arrest of the so called Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi, the self appointed Caliphate of the Qaeda so called Islamic State of Iraq. Yet if true, Raouf Abdel-Rahman has stolen this little joy I had. Mr. Raouf must have had the extensive protection of the government of Iraq and the Allied forces. His action is deplorable.

I was myself kidnapped and nearly butchered by Jihadist terrorist group. I escaped death through a large ransom that consumed not only my private savings but that of all the extended family. I did not have any protection from the government whatsoever despite my relatively senior position in civil service.

I am contemplating going home and I am being encouraged by what I hear of the achievements of the security Surge. I have lost my home and if I return will not have any protection whatsoever. Despite family pressure I have declined to take political asylum in a western country where I am stationed now.

I hope and pray this news item is wrong.
