Japanese diplomatic agents were killed by US army? (Please send this mail to Mr.Moore!)
How do you do. I am a Japanese. I hate a stupid Bush! I think I can beg only you, so send this mail.
On November 30, Japanese diplomatic agents were killed in Iraq. The Japanese government said this is terrorism. But we cannot believe it.
All my friends feel that US army commit the murder. But Japanese mass media don't check this thing; wacthing out for Bush and his dog Koizumi.
We know you seek truth. So please cry out to make the murder clear! Our voice is drowned out by the politician who want to send out Japanese army to Iraq.
>>857 英語が苦手な漏れが言うのもなんだが、>his dog Koizumi. とか>I hate a stupid Bushとかの刺激的な言葉は避けたほうが良いかも。 言いたくなる気持ちはわかるけどね。 >The Japanese government said this is terrorism. は「日本政府は彼らはテロリスト達に殺されたと言っている」としたほうが良いかも。 The Japanese government says that they were killed by terrorists. 一応書いてみたけど自信なし。間違ってたらスマン。
Regarding the series of gunfires at so-called soft targets in the weekend of end November in Iraq, where two Japanese diplomats and their Iraqi driver also sacrificed their lives in Tikrit, we strongly doubt if those diplomats were really shot by 'terrorists' (allegedly Muhhabarat agents), as US and Japanese officials announced. In the situation where the sources are limited (or possibly censored), and therefore the Japanese press won't take our hypotheses seriously, we are asking people like you, Mr. Moore <もしくはMr. president of Al Jazeera>, who plays a very prominent and crucial role in this field, for some feedbacks.
Our hypotheses, deduced from some irregularities found out in available news sources, are as follows:
1) The two Japanese diplomats and their Iraqi driver accidentally killed by a friendly fire? <根拠を箇条書き>
2) The killing was more organized: those three were possibly assassinated by US related agents? <根拠を箇条書き>
We finally appreciate your very friendly willingness to consider our queries in your spare times.
Japanese diplomats killed by the US army? (Please pass this mail to Mr.Moore)
Dear Mr. Moore,
On behalf of all my friends I’d like to express my anger towards G.W. Bush. I am a Japanese national, and beg you to listen to our voice.
On November 30, two Japanese diplomats were killed on their way to the CPA Meeting in northern Iraq. The Japanese government has concluded that this was most likely a terrorist attack, but we have reasons to doubt this.
We cannot rule out the possibility of a friendly and/or intentional fire by the US army. The Japanese media has stopped pursuing this incident, but we would like to seek the truth. Please take a few moments to think about this and if possible to make the matter clear in one of your articles. Our voice is being drowned out by the political move to send the Japanese Defense Force to Iraq. Please help us.
The following are some of our doubts;
上から9行目は、誤射あるいは意図的な発砲という意味。 露骨すぎるなら、意図的の方は取った方が良いかも。 a friendly and/or intentioal fire by the US army.
<Too Many Discrepancies In The Announcement By The US Troops>
a. The attack was committed on one of the major highway that leads to Tikrit. The US Troops announced that they found the attacked vehicle at 5 pm. This clearly contradicts to the fact that Iraqi police, reported by the local residents, arrived at the scene at 1 pm and that the bodies of 2 Japanese diplomats were sent to the local hospital in Tikrit and arrived at 2 pm. The both evidences are sustainable because the Iraqi police and the local hospital actually dealt with the bodies.
Tikrit is the Hussein’s birthplace and where the US Army is keeping the strictest guard against the resistance. How could it be possible that the US Army “found” the attacked vehicle in the vicinity of the major highway 4 hours later than the Iraqi police arrived there and 3 hours later than the victims arrived at the hospital in Tikrit?
面倒だから、全部貼らせていただきます。 申し訳ありませんが、要約するなり、読み飛ばすなり、無視するなり、お願い いたしますです^^。 b. The US Troops announced that the 2 diplomats and 1 Lebanon driver were attacked and shot to death when they were purchasing some food and drink at a stand shop beside the road. If they had been doing so, they would have parked the car on the road or beside the road, and the shot car should have been found there. However, the vehicle was found dozens of meters off the road leaving the deep track on the soil. That indicates they were attacked while driving at fast speed and they lost the control of the car to crash into the soil.
It’s unlikely for the US Troops that have investigated the scene to mistake the car crashed into the soil for the car parked for shopping. A few days later, they had to deny the very fact they had acclaimed about the vehicle, because the discrepancy was obvious.
c. The US Troops announced that they have received the passports of the diplomats from the head of local tribe. If this is correct, the head of tribe should have known how he could obtain the passports of foreign diplomats and who has taken them from the pockets of the diplomats to him. Neither a terrorist nor the Iraqi police officer is likely to pass the important evidence of crime to the head of tribe ――― they are more likely to be arrested. What the US Troops might have wanted to acclaim was that the offenders were old-fashioned burglars who pass what they have grabbed to the head of tribe.
If there were the head of tribe for that region, they would easily identify him. There is no report on the existence of him so far.
a. The evidence of grave importance is the attacked vehicle, black TOYOTA Land Cruiser, which belongs to the Japanese Embassy as it received the dozens of bullets inside it. The type of bullets would be absolutely the decisive evidence to identify the attacker. However, this vehicle was quickly withdrew from the scene after the attack and kept in the US military camp for days. It is even not publicized now.
Though similar cases happened to Korea and Spain, those attacked vehicles are immediately publicized in media, showing the bloodstains and the bullet marks.
There should be some other crucial evidence the US Troops are holding, such as cartridge case, notebook computer owned by the diplomats, food and drink. Though the vehicle and the diplomats’ personal belongings are protected by diplomatic prerogative, the US Troops don’t return them on the request of the Japanese Government. Instead, they are delaying the return by sending only several vague photographs of the car attached to the email to the Japanese Government.
b. After the autopsy of the 2 bodies conducted in Japan, the metropolitan police department of Japan announced, “taking the feelings of survivors into consideration, we can only publicize the cause of their death”, and concealed the types of the bullets inside their body.
There is one big question one cannot help asking ――― are there any reason not to publicize the type of the bullets other than the doctors found the bullets used by the US Army?
There is a witness saying, “I saw the row of vehicles of US Army running through on the road immediately after the (Japanese Diplomats’ ) car crashed.”
This evidence of “the row of vehicles” is supported by the material fact that the Land Cruiser received gunshot from three different directions (front, back, and left side). There should be at least 3 cars to do this attack on the Land Cruiser at high speed.
It occurred on the major highway that connects Tikrit and Baghdad in the daylight with high visibility of straight road, where military trucks, armored cars and patrol cars are busy carrying out their mission.
If this noticeable attack was committed by terrorists, why are the American troops didn’t witness or attack the 3 vehicles running away after the incident at all? Are those 3 vehicles and passengers all vanished into the air under the strict alert of the military at every point?
There are many cases of shooting the cars with innocent ordinary citizens and friendly army in Iraq. In September, the car of Italian Embassy was shot by mistake while driving and an interpreter was dead. The Italian diplomat in the same car scarcely managed to be alive.
In Japan’s case, they removed the number plate from the car and planned to drive as fast as possible to avoid being spotted by the terrorists. On top of that, the driver was an Arabian who could be the only noticeable passenger from outside looking from left side. There is no wonder if the US soldier mistook the car.
The plot of the US announcement fell through. “The attack by terrorists” is hardly without evidence. All the suspicion and crucial concealment are only explained by “FRIENDLY FIRE”.
Though the most persuasive account is “FRIENDLY FIRE”, no one on the media utters a cry of even the possibility of it as if there exists an unwritten law not to mention it!!! ――――――――――――――以上
The US soldiers' statement chronologically contradicts the local eyewitness. Local people saw the Iraqi police appearing at 1 pm, who, after investigating the site, took the victims to a lokal hospital at 2 pm, while the US soldiers insist they found the body around 5 pm(!). Around this site, on the arterial to Tikrit, there should have been a lot of of US soldiers, keeping a keen eye on the Resistance's sudden attacks, therefore they should have recognized the situation.
The US had been insisting for a while that the two Japanese diplomats and their driver were shopping when attacked (therefore they should have 'parked' the car somewhere), while their car obviously 'rushed' away from the road, for escaping the fire and/or by losing it's controll.
The US soldiers said the passports of the dead diplomats are kept by the Sheikh of that area --- but they are still missing (as well as the Sheikh himself). Their other belongings such as PC's, digital cameras, notebooks and so on, which could otherwise be crucial evidence, are also missing.
The attacked vehicle, a black TOYOTA Land Cruiser, which will play the most crucial role for identifying the criminal, has still been seized by the US Troop, while the vehicles of the Korean and Spanish civilian victims are already open to the public. On the request of the Japanese Government they only showed us a very vague 'digital' picture, in which the craters were almost unidentifiable.
The Japanese police autopsied the two bodies of the diplomats, but they only announced the direct cause of the death. The data on the bullets, which are supposed to be left in their bodies, remains untold, "for the sake of the sentiment of the victim's families". We even don't know whether the Japanese police saw the bullets or they had been taken away before the police investigated the bodies.
From limited sources we finally knew the fact that their car was attacked by the front, back and left side. And strangely though, there were no cartridges left behind, even after the intensive fire. Based on these facts we assume that in order to make craters on a car running at a high speed on the highway (let's say 150km p/h), from three directions, and without leaving cartridges, at least three combat cars are required. A witness to a row of the US vehicles driving through (or away from) the site, directly after the car crash, ironically supports our assumption.
<Postscript> Some of us suspect the attack is assassination. US government accused broadcasting captive of US army, before. But the dead diplomats were filmed by CNN. Why bothered to do? We think it is intimidation of making Japanese government to dispatch troops. In the fact, by the pro-Iraq diplomats death, prime minister Koizumi decided so.
Some of our friends also believe that the victims were carefully chosen: the diplomats were supposed to participate in a CPA meeting. But no one knows what the meeting was about. Who were the other participants? Where were they? Someone might use the CPA meeting as a bait to lure those Japanese diplomats and assassinated them in a professional manner and then sent to an ordinary local hospital (not a military one) where someone another was waiting for the bodies, ready to videotape and broadcast them in a deadly normal stream.
Regarding this 'terrorism' we almost have no information, but the bloody image of the dead. Who was the voiceless message intended to? We could find the answer in the Japanese Administration's quick decision making process to send the Japanese Defence Force to Iraq, and to quit further investigation on this matter in Iraq, afraid of producing new 'soft targets'.
P.S. We also welcome your updates, esp. on the 'terrorists' (alleged Mukhabarat?), who have never claimed their responsibily for their marvelous attack. For detail please contact us.
P.S. We also welcome your updates, esp. on the 'terrorists' (alleged Mukhabarat?), who so far haven't claimed their responsibily for their 'marvelous' attack ;-). The death of our diplomats inspired us a lot; when this had not happened we've never discussed that far about the war in Iraq. For detail please contact us.
