RAMZAJ DISCONTINUES OPERATION
08.04.2003 [18:46]

Events of the last 2 days have made further work of Ramzaj group in its
current format impossible.

With the embassy personnel and journalists having left Iraq and most of
Iraqi information services evacuated from Baghdad, analysis of the situation
in Baghdad and Iraq as a whole becomes ineffective.
The quickly changing course of street fights leaves any informational
updates far behind. Direct TV broadcasts are far more evident than any
analytics.
At the same time, we do not have the right to reveal classified, "top
 secret" information.
Apart from that, our actions meet increasing opposition from the official
quarts and in fact are turning into confrontation the outcome of which is
not difficult to forecast.
Therefore we have to discontinue our work and thank everybody for taking
part in the project.

In conclusion we would like to say:

All the "updates" came out from a compact group formed a few years ago in
the framework of a special service. The group used to work for the
government for a long time but all its members have left the service and now
act as an independent analytical group that has kept some capabilities. This
gives an answer to the most common question - about the sources of our
information.
