Last night on BBC I heard that 600-700 hundred Iraqi police had been poisoned when breaking their Ramadan fast.No story now on BBC. The largely Shia policemen were critically ill and several had died already. Where is this story?
ABC News has it and I found it on
Ireland Online who got it from Reuters but Reuters has nothing about it on their site. What gives? You would think that a story about Iraqi police rising from their meal en mass, falling over one another and bleeding from their facial orifaces would garner a little mention.
Whatever it was , it wasn't bad spinach. It sounds more like chemical poisoning to be that fast acting and to cause the bleeding. It is curious that this is not being reported widely. The story is that an Australian company provides these meals and uses Sunni subs. How's that for some expert planning?
