Des ‘Américains inconnus’ en train de provoquer une guerre civile
Les Américains, soupçonnait mon interlocuteur, tentent de provoquer une guerre civile en Irak de façon que les rebelles musulmans sunnites dépensent leur énergie à tuer leurs coreligionnaires chiites plutôt que les militaires des forces d’occupation occidentales.(...) « Un jeune Irakien nous a raconté qu’il avait subi de la part des Américains un entraînement de policier à Bagdad(...). Quand il est revenu, ils lui ont refilé un GSM et lui ont dit de rouler dans une zone très peuplée, à proximité d’une mosquée, et de leur téléphoner. Il a attendu dans le véhicule mais n’a pu obtenir le signal mobile adéquat. C’est ainsi qu’il est sorti de son véhicule pour avoir un meilleur signal. Et, à ce moment, son véhicule a explosé. »

Seen through a Syrian lens, ‘unknown Americans’ are provoking civil war in Iraq
The Americans, my interlocutor suspected, are trying to provoke an Iraqi civil war so that Sunni Muslim insurgents spend their energies killing their Shia co-religionists rather than soldiers of the Western occupation forces.(...) “One young Iraqi man told us that he was trained by the Americans as a policeman in Baghdad (...). When he went back, they gave him a mobile phone and told him to drive into a crowded area near a mosque and phone them. He waited in the car but couldn’t get the right mobile signal. So he got out of the car to where he received a better signal. Then his car blew up.”
