Even the kitchen materials prices rose for engaging in operations

(Voice of Iraq) - 11-24-2006 | Sotaliraq.com

Even the kitchen materials prices rose for engaging in armed operations Arms trade, blood administered senior officials and members of the security forces Baghdad-file Press Hossam was no more than (14) years of age when he entered to the Party in the street next to their home with the mobilization of the people after the fall of the former regime in 2003. No never in his mind that the three handguns taken from Mchajab disarmament will change his life like dozens of others who had seized weapons stored in buildings party and the state. Hossam has been unable to carry pistols when he came out of the three band collapsed and one when he tried to light one passer-by shouted "laissez Take this amount ..." A Hossam (Gnemeth) in the House promised amount. " Fifty thousand dinars. " . It is not true, which was barely get from the people on the (250) dinars. Slipped amount under his bed and returned to the band to take a rifle and a number of boxes gear is all that remains in the hook after many looters. After that changed the lives of Hossam, and it is customers buy it. Learning to ask about the prices before they sell. It is then claimed the buy, sell and meet colleagues in the profession, which has open their markets in that period, As you know, the politicians and members of militias and gangs. and learn how to hide their goods from the military and security apparatus, which has begun to take shape, but the government has been unable to prevent Hossam and the like, despite the passage of more than three years ago on this incident and change governments. Hossam to become even more of the house and car. Hossam and his ilk they talk to (file Press) believe that their work is trade and not only livelihoods, says Hussein (25 years old) was one of the traffickers of weapons, "I do not mean in practical purchase of arms and equipment and sold to terrorists or help the gunmen, I deal with the spare light and individually, I also deal with the purchase of arms for personal protection. " When asked, why not fear legal liability because of this work? he answered "No government can be controlled this trade because a large proportion of young people and operate in large quantities and of supporting terrorism and the militias without there being accountable." Although the law allows arms trafficking after obtaining leave work, but it is very rare, there has to leave work in the arms trade from dealers in this area. After the end of the war which was led by the United States against Iraq. any person who was able to go to the market in the eastern section of Baghdad to find traders took advantage of the pavement to display and sale of arms and all kinds. However, the weapons are no longer required today rifles, pistols or Kalashnikovs, having imposed the nature of a confrontation trafficking in protected species of medium and heavy weapons capable of influencing the discount. During the past months, recorded the security situation in Iraq has deteriorated alarmingly unprecedented since the invasion of Iraq by the American forces, in the spring of 2003, this decline was accompanied by an escalation in the severity of the statements and accusations between some components of the Iraqi spectrum, against the backdrop of the killings and assassinations perpetrated against the citizens on a daily basis. But all this is reflected positively on the arms trade, that returned again to form a profession, he knew Iraq since the fall of Saddam's regime. A report by Amnesty International, Oxfam and the "international action network on small arms," "The possession of more deadly weapons are an integral part of daily life in many countries of the world, such as Iraq, since there is an average of more than one gun per head of population. " There is hardly a house in Iraq today without disarmament, These weapons vary between Kalashnikov rifle or revolver. Iraqis, after what they saw lawlessness large and murder of identity and random assassinations, became more need than ever to arms to defend themselves and by their families. the militias and armed groups are very popular in Iraq. They do not hesitate to murder and raiding houses for the purpose of killing him. The making of lawlessness, The lack of interest in the security of the Iraqi occupation forces. The focus on the security of its soldiers, without the others, the phenomenon of arms trafficking source of livelihood for a number of Iraqis. until we reached the prices of light weapons to the figures and large sums. Most of the weapons were sold from the arsenal of the former Iraqi army, that robbed by bandits and thieves, or as they are called (Alhwasm) and is the expression means the seizure of a weapons warehouses and stores established by the former regime during the war. in addition to weapons left behind by the Iraqi army disbanded. And all this is the source of most of the weapons sold to Iraq today. As one arms dealers say that the demand for the weapons come from ordinary citizens in addition to the militias and armed groups, The weapons that are in circulation in Iraq does not serve the purpose of fighters, since most medium and heavy weapons had been bought or seized for a long time, However, the amount they receive in such groups or militias are the arms smuggled from outside Iraq. He says (h-m), who is president of Sergeant Major in the former Iraqi army was running a repository of weapons : he got the goods directly from government sources. When the former regime collapsed brother and son work on the transfer of weapons from the warehouse to his home and then began trafficking. While saying (a-p), a contractor to repair and maintain weapons : after that plundered most of the former Iraqi army camps, by bandits and thieves, many emerged from the markets specialized in the sale of weapons, However, these markets quickly disappeared, because some of the actions taken by the American forces, returning to the secret arms trade, after it had been open. This led to a rise in the prices of weapons often, Venice machine arrived price, in light of these circumstances, the two hundred thousand dinars (equivalent to 150 dollars), , as well as personal revolver, the smaller size, which increased its price. because the method of concealment be easier. Attribute some of the agency met (file Press) cause of the spread of weapons in Iraq to the military approach taken by the former regime. says kindergarten teacher Abdul distribution "has on the life of Saddam in Iraq to what looks like a camp, He was allowed to Baath Party members disbanded bear arms and assesses summer courses to train students to the fighting and the use of weapons, It had promoted the culture of race until Saddam is shown in some festivals shooting of a gun (Name) portable, however, and one for pride in the value of arms. " According to analysts, politicians refused to mention names, "The spread of weapons in large quantities and could lead to civil war or to pressure by armed groups for political gains. This threatens to disrupt the political process in Iraq. " One said employees of the border troops (who wished to remain anonymous), "we have seized a lot of trucks in the smuggling of weapons payloads sand and gravel carried by the diggers deployed in visible Karbala, Najaf and other areas in the Western Sahara, also found on the equipment and weapons hidden in a number of diggers (quarries). " The seizure of large quantities of such weapons by Iraqi forces and the multinational force in the clear lack of weapons among terrorist groups. It has extensive proliferation of the Iraqi forces and prevent the movement of arms between the regions to the high prices as between (a. G), which is one of weapon dealers in Najaf "has risen scale TR weapons in recent rates. bringing the price of Venice is pretty to 150 thousand dinars after the 30 thousand dinars. The bomber, raising the price from 200 thousand to 250 thousand dinars dinars after it was valued at 15 thousand dinars to 25 thousand dinars. the price ranges (PKC) between 2 million and a quarter million to three million dinars, if any. " The prices vary from one governorate to another. According to dealers in the arms market hit its launch Venice (bullet) to 450 dinars, also arrived price grenade (Ramanah) to 90 thousand dinars, the equivalent of ten times the previous price. Although the law does not permit the Iraqi bear arms to those who are under the age of twenty-five, However, the noticeable that members of the armed militias most of them between the ages of 16 and 32 years, which is a flagrant violation of the law without legal action taken against them. " He adds that "the scarcity and high prices of weapons made gunmen looking for alternatives to the implementation of their operations, Valassaaac used in the bombing of dynamite sticks hit the price of five thousand dinars. the alternative was the use of parts of the fireworks used by the children to raise the price too. They are using soft metal wire (Saeima), which is used to wash dishes in the manufacture of explosives, rising prices. The report says Fawzi Mohamed officer in the National Guard, "there are reports indicating that the collapse of the former regime led to the fall of five million pieces of weaponry to the streets, It is now circulating among the local people, The government's failure to adopt a firm stand to recover it, referring to the prospects remain in the street for a period of ten years ending factors as consumption and use, and others. " For its part, the sources said armed groups "that no weapons were transferred from special warehouses police and the army by collaborators, in addition to large quantities of weapons were seized from warehouses belonging to the army of Prince Kyi. " Sources say : the Iraqi borders with neighboring countries, most undisciplined, especially from the Iraqi side, to facilitate the introduction of those amounts to Iraq. The same sources noted that Iraqi border guards allowed the introduction of any quantity of arms for money, There are also weapons bought from inside Iraq. and that through some of the Iraqis who are working with the police or the army. or even with American forces. He said Iraqi police captain, who spoke under condition of anonymity, that there is a lot of arms delivered to the elements and members of the Iraqi police are being leaked to the gunmen, or sold in the post. He added : My volunteer for the army or police, After serving two or three get through to the nearly 1 million or more than a million Iraqi dinars, The light weapon, and then we stopped for always, The sale of weapons. The other is the smuggling of weapons out of stores, in cooperation with the supreme bodies in the security services, All of this for money. Assists administrative corruption rampant in Iraq seems to be searching for arms and trade, as some of the sale and purchase of weapons is done through officials. As confirmed by the "Informed Iraqi sources, pointing out that the American army are worried that arming the Iraqi security services and sophisticated heavy weapons, fear of spilling into the Iraqi fighters. Says one political analysts observers of the phenomenon that "political changes in Iraq led to the negative effects of such practices on the Iraqi society. Lineups With the emergence of sectarianism and the escalation owner, especially after the events of Samarra, the prices of weapons, because of the high demand for purchase. and there were growing concerns of the outbreak of sectarian strife or conflict between the parties for control of the authority. " And despite the tension in Iraq today, Some ethnic groups do not wish to arm the others. It says merchant (l-p), a Shiite he would not sell at any price and never had to be what he called (the Wahabi sect), This term refers to any extremist Sunni. , as well as Sunni party also does not sell to any person Shiite, This is in addition to a lack of confidence between the two sides, and because our "nation totally confidential, because any piece of information up to the American army, we will find ourselves critics to prison, Perhaps Stqetlena occupation forces. it sees us as collaborators with the gunmen, even if this for a price, of the opinion that the arms trade are secretly paid. and far from the eyes, We take night for the transfer of our goods. " While confirming many of the psychological and social studies in Iraq to the spread of weapons also had an impact on the interests of children and theirs says Mr. Karim Hamid owner of a store games, We have extended the culture wars to the arming and toys also, it has become the attention of children in Iraq is a combat weapons such as pistols and swords and guns as a result of the violence they see on the television screens and in daily life, where the child has become involved in this game leaves intellectual games and educational. " He adds, "and are encouraged by traders seeking to profit when noting a great demand for these games, Estordonha and become very large quantities. "
