Evidence mounts as Bush hails Rumsfeld
By Marian Wilkinson
Herald Correspondent in Washington



President George Bush's public backing for Donald
Rumsfeld comes in the face of mounting evidence
undermining sworn testimony by the US Defence
Secretary and Pentagon senior commanders that abuses
at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq were carried out by "a
handful" of junior officers.

"This is unravelling like a cheap Chinese sweater,"
said David Hackworth, a retired colonel whose
organisation, Soldiers for the Truth, helped bring the
abuse story to the US media.

On Monday Mr Bush quashed speculation that he would
sack Mr Rumsfeld, saying he was "doing a superb job"
and the US owned him "a debt of gratitude". The
endorsement came after Mr Bush reviewed several new
graphic photographs and video stills of abuse at Abu
Ghraib that are to be given to Congress.

Describing his reaction as "deep disgust and
disbelief", he continued to steer blame for the
scandal away from Mr Rumsfeld.

But Mr Hackworth said he believed that more junior
soldiers would soon come forward to "blow the
whistle".

He said the general who was in charge of military
intelligence in Iraq, Barbara Fast, who has escaped
media scrutiny, was likely to become the focus of
questions in the next few weeks. General Fast was
under the command of General Ricardo Sanchez, the
senior US commander for the occupation forces.

"They're keeping her away from the media but she was
the general in charge of military intelligence and
this happened on her watch," Mr Hackworth said.

So far, Mr Rumsfeld's pledge that the abuse of
prisoners did not go up the chain of command has
secured his political survival.

But senators on the powerful armed services committee
were yesterday due to hear testimony from the general
who investigated the abuses at Abu Ghraib,
Major-General Antonio Taguba. Numerous witnesses told
him that shocking abuses, including sexual humiliation
of prisoners, were encouraged by US military
intelligence officers.

General Taguba's internal army report described
"systemic" abuse at Abu Ghraib and said junior
officers were instructed by military intelligence and
private contractors to "set the conditions" for the
interrogation of prisoners.

A lawyer for one of the military guards charged with
abusing the detainees has told the US ABC network that
photographs support evidence that military
intelligence officers took part in sexually degrading
prisoners, forcing them to strip and lie in groups on
the floor of the jail.

The lawyer, Guy Womack, said one photo showed an
interrogation "done at night" where intelligence
officers "ordered the MPs to undress" three prisoners,
began interrogating them and forced them to pose for a
photograph.

Republican and Democrat senators said they would
pursue allegations up the chain of command, as the
Senate passed a resolution condemning the abuses.
Democrat senators promise that if evidence can be
established that the abuse of prisoners was encouraged
by senior commanders, Mr Rumsfeld will be forced to
go.

A newspaper popular with the armed forces, Army Times,
condemned Mr Rumsfeld and the head of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, General Richard Myers, in an editorial. It
said there was a failure of leadership that "ran
straight to the top", adding: "accountability here is
essential".

Violence, Collision Kill 3 U.S. Soldiers in Iraq


BAGHDAD ? Three more American soldiers have died in
Iraq, two from hostile fire and one in a traffic
accident, military officials said Monday.

One soldier from Task Force Olympia, based in northern
Iraq, died Monday of wounds suffered in an attack on
his patrol in Mosul, the U.S. Central Command said.

It did not say when the attack occurred.

A 1st Infantry Division soldier was killed Saturday
when a roadside bomb exploded in Samarra, and a second
soldier was wounded in the blast.

A soldier from the 16th Military Police Brigade died
Sunday night when his Humvee collided with an American
tank, the command said.

About 770 U.S. service members have died since
President Bush launched the Iraq war in March 2003,
most of them after the end of major combat was
declared.

Insurgents in the country's south bombed an oil
pipeline, setting off a huge fire and slashing daily
exports by about 25%, officials said Monday.

Firefighters were still battling the blaze, which
erupted Saturday after guerrillas attacked the
pipeline, which carries oil to a terminal south of the
city of Basra.

Jabbar Leaby, director general of Iraq's Southern Oil
Co., said engineers had managed to divert oil to a
second line. But an official for the State Oil
Marketing Pipeline told Dow Jones Newswires that the
alternate line was too small to handle the additional
flow, resulting in the export cut.

Elsewhere, Al Jazeera television broadcast a
videotaped threat from a previously unknown group that
said Americans, Britons and Kuwaitis in Basra would be
targeted for kidnapping and assassination.

The speaker, who said he represented a group called Al
Taff, and two armed men flanking him were masked.

Al Taff refers to a 7th century battle near Karbala.

Civilian Convoy Hit in Iraq, Several People Missing


BAGHDAD - Guerrillas attacked a 21-vehicle civilian
supply convoy on its way to Baghdad from Jordan on
Tuesday and several people are unaccounted for, a
senior U.S. military official said.

Several vehicles in the convoy were destroyed in the
attack close to Rutba, near the Jordanian border, he
told reporters without indicating the nationalities of
those missing.

He said the convoy may have belonged to a
sub-contractor to Kellogg, Brown & Root, which
supplies U.S. troops in Iraq. KBR said it was unaware
of any attack on Tuesday on a convoy run either by the
company or a sub-contractor.

Four Killed, 23 Injured in Iraq Bombing


BAGHDAD, Iraq - A homemade bomb exploded Tuesday in a
crowded market in northern Iraq, killing four Iraqis
and injuring 23, a security official said.

The bomb exploded in a mostly Kurdish district of the
oil city of Kirkuk, said Col. Aware Mohammed Main of
the Iraqi security forces. He said two cars were also
destroyed in the explosion.

Kirkuk is a mixed city of Kurds, Arabs and ethnic
Turks.

Iraq Militants Threaten 'Another Vietnam'
By Louis Meixler


BAGHDAD - Gunmen attacked a U.S.-run civilian convoy
in Iraq's western desert Tuesday and some personnel
were unaccounted for, U.S. officials said.

In a videotape released Tuesday, armed people claiming
to be members of a radical Shiite Muslim militia
threatened suicide attacks on U.S. forces and their
allies in Iraq.

The video showed about 10 black-cloaked men and women
posing with grenade launchers and Kalashnikovs, while
a female voice and then a male voice read threatening
messages in Arabic. "We will carry out martyrdom
operations against the American infidels. We will make
it another Vietnam if our leader Seyed Moqtada al-Sadr
is hurt," a woman's voice said, referring to radical
Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, currently holed up in
the holy city of Najaf under the protection of his
armed militia, the al-Mahdi Army.

In the attack on the U.S. convoy, an unknown number of
vehicles were destroyed near the town of Rutba, 370
kilometers west of Baghdad, on the road between Iraq
and Jordan, the officials said. The convoy was
operated by a contractor of KBR, or Kellogg, Brown &
Root, which is a subsidiary of Halliburton. Meanwhile,
a U.S. civilian was found dead with signs of trauma on
the corpse near a highway overpass in Baghdad, the
U.S. military said Tuesday.

The man, whose identity was not released, was not
connected with the U.S. military or civilian
government mission in Iraq, a military spokesman said.
The body was discovered Saturday.

Late Monday, U.S. forces clashed with al-Sadr's gunmen
in the southern city of Kufa, killing at least five
Iraqis and injuring 14 others, hospital officials
said. Kufa is near Najaf, where al-Sadr took refuge
last month, after U.S. authorities announced they were
seeking him in connection with the assassination last
year of a moderate cleric.

U.S. troops have been involved in sporadic clashes
with al-Sadr's forces for weeks. But the Americans
have avoided an all-out assault on Najaf to avoid
inflaming Shiite passions.The new U.S.-appointed Najaf
governor said Tuesday he will ask occupation
authorities to defer murder charges against al-Sadr
under a proposed deal to end the standoff with his
Shiite Muslim militia.

Adnan al-Zurufi, who was appointed last week, proposed
that the U.S.-led administration agree to delay legal
proceedings against al-Sadr until after the transfer
of power to a new Iraqi administration June 30. In the
northern city of Kirk, a homemade bomb exploded in a
crowded market killing four Iraqis and injuring 23, a
security official said.

The bomb exploded in a mostly Kurdish district, also
destroying two cars, said Colonel Anwar Mohammed Main
of the Iraqi security forces. Kirk is a mixed city of
Kurds, Arabs and ethnic Turks.

Residents of the Shiite neighborhood Sadr City on
Tuesday began rebuilding the Baghdad headquarters of
al-Sadr, which was destroyed in a tank and helicopter
attack by U.S. forces at about midnight Sunday.

At the urging of al-Sadr's al-Mahdi Army, local
Shiites brought bricks, cement and gypsum to the site.
Parts of the building had already been repaired by
midday.

Dutch officials, meanwhile, said two men have been
arrested for a grenade attack that killed one Dutch
soldier and wounded another in the southern Iraqi city
of Samawah.

The casualties Monday night were the first for the
Dutch since the Netherlands sent 1,300 soldiers to
participate in the U.S.-led force.

Iraq: UNICEF ?profoundly disturbed? by allegations of
abuse of detained children


-UNICEF spokesman Damien Personnaz told a news
briefing in Geneva...that any mistreatment, sexual
abuse, exploitation or torture of children in
detention is a violation of international law.


The United Nations Children?s Fund (UNICEF) is
profoundly disturbed by news reports alleging that
children might have been among those abused in
detention centres and prisons in Iraq, a spokesman
said today.

?Although the news reports have not been independently
substantiated, they are alarming nonetheless,? UNICEF
spokesman Damien Personnaz told a news briefing in
Geneva, adding that any mistreatment, sexual abuse,
exploitation or torture of children in detention is a
violation of international law.

Mr. Personnaz?s statement was the latest reaction by a
UN body to widely disseminated reports and photographs
of abuse of detainees by United States-led coalition
personnel in Iraq. Last week Acting UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights Bertrand Ramcharan
expressed revulsion regarding the reports and
photographs.

The detention or imprisonment of a child must be used
only as a measure of last resort and for the shortest
appropriate period of time, and for their safety and
protection children should never be incarcerated with
adults, Mr. Personnaz said.

?All persons in detention must be treated with
humanity and with respect for their inherent dignity
as human beings,? he added. ?In particular, States had
an obligation to protect children and to ensure that
their officials were aware of, trained in, and
complied with the relevant international standards.?

Relatives of Iraqi dead win hearing



The families of 13 people allegedly killed by British
troops in Iraq won the right to challenge the
government in court.

Sitting in London's High Court, Justice Lawrence
Collins agreed that the 13 families could challenge
the government's refusal to hold independent inquiries
into the deaths, and ordered an urgent hearing to
begin in June or July.

Lawyer Phil Shiner said the hearing would examine
whether Human Rights law applied to British forces in
southeast Iraq, and whether the government had a duty
to hold independent inquiries into the deaths.

A ruling in favour of the families could pave the way
for compensation and possible criminal proceedings for
unlawful killing.

"The way things are going in Iraq, it seems to me in
everyone's interest that this point of principle is
decided as soon as possible," the judge said.

Lawyer Phillip Sales, representing the government,
said there had been no allegations of illegal killings
at the time of the deaths. The Ministry of Defence now
had to go through "26 metres" of files to find details
of the cases, he said.

State Duma to condemn situation in Iraq


Moscow  - The Russian State Duma is to make "a strict
address" to the Coalition forces on the situation with
Russian citizens in Iraq, the head of the lower
chamber of the Russian parliament Boris Gryzlov
announced. According to him, the Foreign Affairs
Committee of the Duma is to offer the draft address
condemning the policies of the coalition forces,
"which has proved their inability to secure safety not
only for the Iraqi people but for those working in the
country."

Boris Gryzlov has strongly condemned the murder of the
Russian citizen and capturing two other Russians in
Iraq. He also stressed that in the current situation
in Iraq the only prudent decision for Russians working
in the country is to follow the recommendations of the
Russian Foreign Ministry and to leave Iraq.

compulsory evacuation of all Russians from Iraq, a
well-informed source told Interfax Tuesday.

"Evacuating the remaining personnel of Russian
companies from Iraq is being considered now. Unlike in
the first evacuation [in April after the abduction of
a group of employees from a Russian company],
obligatory evacuation may be in question this time,"
the source said.

Seventh SA man killed in Iraq
By Graeme Hosken

- [The government of South Africa is] reiterating the
call made earlier by the Minister of Foreign Affairs
for South Africans to avoid going to Iraq, "given the
potential danger facing them there and the fact that
it is a conflict region".


A seventh South African has been killed in Iraq, but
unlike the others the latest victim was employed to
help rebuild the strife-torn country.

The man, who was employed by a well-known Gauteng
construction company, was killed in an ambush.

The South African, who lived with his wife and young
daughter outside Pretoria, is the seventh South
African to have been killed in Iraq since January. The
other South Africans were involved in the security
industry.

Last Thursday two South Africans were killed by Shi'a
insurgents in separate attacks on United
States-coalition forces in Basra and Fallujah. The
latest fatality occurred in Kirkuk.

The South African, whose name has yet to be released
by the department of foreign affairs, was killed on
his way to the shops.

The South African who was travelling with a New
Zealander, also employed as a construction worker, was
killed along with his Iraqi driver when they were
ambushed.

The New Zealander died of his wounds a short while
later.

According to the news agency AP, the South African and
New Zealander were working on a construction project
in the oil-rich city of Kirkuk.

The construction company was contracted by the US
Government.

It is believed the two were part of a road and
installation construction project in the area.

In a statement released on Monday, the department of
foreign affairs confirmed that a South African had
died in the attack.

The statement said the South African diplomatic
mission in Kuwait had confirmed the death.

Foreign Affairs spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa said the
government extended its heartfelt condolences to
members of the family.

He said they were reiterating the call made earlier by
the Minister of Foreign Affairs for South Africans to
avoid going to Iraq, "given the potential danger
facing them there and the fact that it is a conflict
region".

National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson
Makhosini Nkosi said if a person was participating in
an international conflict zone without the permission
of the National Conventional Arms Control Committee
(NCACC) they could be prosecuted.

"But," said Nkosi, "Only those working in a security
capacity in a conflict zone would be prosecuted."

He said if someone, like the seventh South African who
died, worked in a conflict zone for a humanitarian
purpose they would not be prosecuted.

Nkosi said the NPA was working closely with the SAPS
Crimes Against the State Unit to investigate South
Africans and South African firms working in Iraq.

National police spokesperson Director Sally de Deer
confirmed that the Crimes Against the State Unit was
conducting investigations into South Africans working
in conflict zones, but declined to comment on the
nature of such investigations "as they are of an
extremely sensitive nature".

The NCACC decides whether South Africans working in
international conflict zones have contravened the
Foreign Military Assistance Act (FMAA).

The FMAA regulates the rendering of foreign military
assistance by South African juristic persons,
citizens, persons permanently resident within the
Republic and foreign citizens rendering such
assistance from within the borders of South Africa.

First 260 Dominican troops back early from Iraq


SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic - The majority of
Dominican troops in Iraq returned home Monday, their
mission cut short after criticism at home and Spain's
withdrawal.

Top military officials and President Hipolito Mejia
were at Santo Domingo's Americas International Airport
late Monday to meet the 260 soldiers. The remaining 42
soldiers are expected home in the coming days,
officials said.

The 302 Dominicans had been under Spanish command
along with troops from El Salvador, Honduras and
Nicaragua, stationed in the south-central cities of
Najaf and Diwaniya. The Dominicans came under fire
several times but took no casualties.

Mejia has said Dominican troops would not return to
Iraq under any circumstances, though just weeks ago he
had pledged to fulfill a yearlong commitment to the
U.S.-led force through August.

Spain's decision to leave came after the Socialist
Party of Prime Minister Jose Luis won March 14
elections on a platform that included pulling their
1,300 troops out of Iraq.

Italy facing calls to bring home troops after Iraq
prisoner scandal


ROME - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, one
of the staunchest US allies in Iraq, faced pressure
Tuesday to bring home Italian troops in protest at the
prisoner torture scandal rocking the occupation
forces.

The moderate left-wing opposition called for the
immediate return of the soldiers, a day after
Berlusconi himself expressed revulsion at the abuse of
Iraqi prisoners in British and US detention documented
in a leaked report by the International Committee of
the Red Cross.

"Berlusconi must come before parliament before he goes
to the United States next Thursday and say that he is
no longer acting as a vassal," said Francesco Rutelli,
leader of the centre-left Olive Tree coalition.

"If that is not done, we will vote for the return of
our soldiers," he told Italy's Repubblica newspaper.

Berlusconi is heading to Washington on May 19, shortly
before US President George W. Bush visits Italy in
June to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the
liberation of the city from the Nazis during World War
II.

Italy has 3,000 troops serving with the occupation
forces in Iraq, third in size only to the United
States and Britain, whose governments are scrambling
to contain the firestorm over the prisoner abuse.

Olive Tree parties have abstained during previous
parliamentary votes on Italy's military mission in
Iraq but Berlusconi and his right-wing allies command
a strong majority in the assembly.

"After reading the Red Cross report, it was clear that
the use of torture in Iraq was systematic," Rutelli
said to explain his coalition's change of heart about
Italian troops in Iraq.

"Bush's defence of (US Defence Secretary Donald)
Rumsfeld and Berlusconi's embarrassed declaration
yesterday was a turning point that forced us to act."

In his statement on Monday, Berlusconi condemned the
abuse and called for "exemplary punishments" to be
meted out "at all levels" for those responsible.

"I am deeply distressed by the humiliation and
suffering inflicted by certain US soldiers on certain
Iraqi prisoners," he said.

And his minister for European affairs, Rocco
Buttiglione, said the leaders of the US forces in Iraq
should resign over the affair.

Berlusconi's right-wing government is expected to face
a grilling in parliament on Wednesday over the
situation in Iraq.

Italian opposition leaders called on Monday for Bush's
visit to Rome to be cancelled as a protest against the
prison scandal.

"The Italian government would do well to cancel the
events of June 4 with Bush, as long as full light has
not been shed on the torture affair," said Green Party
leader Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio.

If Bush's visit goes ahead, the US president can
expect to be greeted by mass demonstrations organised
by an alliance of anti-globalisation groups, the
Greens and the Communists.

Indian defence minister condemns US treatment of Iraqi
prisoners


NEW DELHI - Indian Defence Minister George Fernandes
Tuesday accused the US military of violating
international standards on the treatment of prisoners,
in the first condemnation by a senior Indian leader of
the alleged abuse of Iraqi inmates.
India's defence chief expressed "outrage and disgust"
at the humiliation of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib
prison as shown by photographs.

"Not only does it indicate a breakdown of ethical
standards in the chain of command of the US army, but
it indicates scant regard for international laws and
basic humanitarian conduct," Fernandes said in a
statement.

"We call upon the world community to insist upon the
implementation of international laws governing the
treatment of prisoners of war, beginning from Saddam
Hussein right down to the ordinary man and woman on
the streets of Iraq," he said.

Fernandes, the only socialist in the Hindu
nationalist-led cabinet, was known for his criticisms
of the United States before joining government.

Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani had last week
declined to join the international condemnation over
the treatment of Iraqi prisoners, calling the scandal
an "internal affair" of the United States.

The main opposition Congress party, which is forecast
to make gains in national elections that ended Monday,
blasted Advani, saying that India should have clearly
condemned the "barbaric" treatment of Iraqi detainees.

The Hindu nationalist government has put an emphasis
on building ties with the United States, which in turn
has been low-key in its reaction to alleged abuses in
India, such as anti-Muslim riots that killed 2,000
people two years ago in the western state of Gujarat.

South Korea delays sending troops to Iraq


South Korea has postponed dispatching troops to Iraq,
apparently due to concerns about the soldiers' safety.


South Korea had planned to send more than 3,000 troops
to Iraq in June but that date has now been pushed back
by at least one month.

The dispatch has always been extremely controversial,
and public opposition has increased in recent weeks
following revelations that US troops have been abusing
Iraqi prisoners.

The Government denies the postponement means it is
having second thoughts.

Instead, a defence ministry spokesman says more
discussion is needed on exactly where in Iraq the
troops should be sent.

Rafsanjani Says World Public Opinion Pressing U.S.,
Britain


TEHRAN (IRNA) -- Head of the Expediency Council Akbar
Hashemi Rafsanjani said Tuesday disclosure of the
brutal acts of the occupiers of Iraq in torturing
Iraqi prisoners is indicative of the power of public
opinion.

Addressing an expert gathering of Law enforcement
Forces, he said the reactions of the world public
opinion and the mass media have made both Bush and
Blair restless under the wave of the hatred pouring on
them.

He believed the shame of the families of the soldiers
who were involved in tortures together with apologies
offered by the officials of the two countries showed
the importance of the public opinion.
