Geneva Conventions Broken By Terrorists, Again…

January 31, 2007 | By Sniper One |

Not that terrorists give a rats ass about Geneva. I would bet that they can’t even spell Geneva or know what it is. They more than likely think that Geneva is Jacques Chirac’s older sister.

This time the offense is the use of Chlorine Gas (Poison Gas) as a weapon.

AR RAMADI, Iraq – Emergency Response Unit personnel, Iraqi Police, and civilians northwest of Ramadi were attacked by a suicide vehicle-born improvised explosive device (SVBIED) early Sunday.   Coalition forces responded to the attack to provide immediate medical assistance and evacuate the wounded to medical facilities. 

Along with the suicide bomber, 16 people were killed by the attack.

The SVBIED was a dump truck filled with explosives and included a chlorine tank. The truck crashed into the Emergency Response Unit compound and detonated. There are no indications of any casualties caused by the release of chlorine gas.

The Al Jazeera Police and U.S. Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 37th Infantry Brigade responded to the scene and worked together to evacuate the casualties.  The majority of the casualties were evacuated to the U.S. medical facility at Camp Ramadi.  Some victims of the attack were evacuated to Coalition medical facilities in Balad and Baghdad.

Emergency Response Units serve as a quick reaction force to augment and support the police in Anbar province.  They are made up of Iraqi citizens and are led by the commander of the Iraqi Police in Anbar.

Update 2/2/07: In response to Hairy Fish Nuts:

Terrorists… breaking a treaty they never signed and that stands as an antithesis to all they are?

Isn’t that the point? Why do we give Geneva Rights to terrorists who never signed the agreement, and live outside of it. In fact, they seem to make an effort to break every part of it.

In other words, you got the point… It was the sarcasm you missed…

    Can we just get OVER “Geneva” where THESE UNUNIFORMED SEWER RATS are concerned?

    Can we not just admit that, that like the guerrillas of The Revolutionary War (and GOD love ‘em), these are NOT “soldiers” and deserve no more quarter than the thugs they are.

    Its like a biggy whip in a Ferrari.

    Who can’t see this?
