SINJAR – Iraqi Army soldiers were among the first to respond with humanitarian assistance to the victims of the deadly terrorist bombings in the Sinjar area of Ninewah Province which killed hundreds of Iraqi citizens on Aug. 14. Terrorists associated with Al Qaeda in Iraq and the Islamic State of Iraq are believed to be responsible for the multiple truck bomb attacks.
Within hours of the terrorist attacks in the small northwestern Iraqi villages of Khataniyah and Al Jezeera, two battalions of the 3rd Brigade, 3rd Iraqi Army Division, were on scene in Khataniyah providing immediate medical assistance and humanitarian aid to the displaced and injured Iraqi people. The Iraqi and U.S. Special Forces delivered several pallets of food and water to the survivors.
The elements from the Iraqi Army responded in force to the deadly attacks and immediately evacuated urgent patients from the blast sites to the Sinjar and Bi’aj hospitals. The continued Iraqi effort over the following days resulted in the successful recovery of two little girls buried alive in the rubble. Iraqi bulldozers, water trucks and ambulances continue the relief efforts.
Iraqi Army Soldiers, U.S. Special Forces and Coalition Forces delivered trailers of food and water to the local Iraqi citizens, while Coalition aircraft air-dropped additional medical supplies to the devastated villages.
Senator Kerry's Terrorists Strike Again!
When the enemy kills innocent civilians who responds with aid, US Forces and Iraqi Army units. When the enemy kills and creates fear, Coalition Forces rebuild and provide aid that allows the populace to return to their normal lives.
Freedom fighters indeed.
