CAMP TAJI, Iraq — Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers responded to an attack comprised of numerous improvised explosive devices that severely damaged a school in northern Baghdad July 13.
Soldiers with 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division responded to the attack, shortly after 6 a.m. The explosions were heard and seen coming from the Al Malahma School, located less than a mile west of Camp Taji. When the soldiers arrived at the site, unexploded containers of high-explosives and an initiation device were found around a large portion of the school that was still standing.
The Al Malahma School building was part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers initiative to improve the condition of the educational infrastructure in the area. The 1250 square-meter facility consisted of 23 classrooms and could accommodate 900 students. The school completed its last quality assurance/quality control inspection last week and would have been opened for the coming school year.
So Mr. Moore's and Ms. Sheehan's freedom fighters the people who are being somehow oppressed by George Bush and the American war machine are targetting schools and innocent civilians in their struggle against America. Somehow I don't think so, Al-Qaeda and the other Muslim insurgents only mission is to cause chaos and mayhem, and force their will upon an unarmed populace. They care nothing for human rights and continue in their oppression of the young children of Iraq.
