Iraqi security officials accused al-Qaeda of carrying out an attack against a bus in Anbar province on Monday (September 12th) that left 22 civilians dead.

Mahdi al-Fekeiki, director general of the Iraqi Ministry of Interior's Intelligence Service, said the travellers were on their way to Syria Monday evening when an armed group stopped them on the road and took them to the Nukhaib desert, 510 kilometres west of Baghdad.

Al-Fekeiki told mawtani.com that the bus was carrying 22 men and 11 women and children.

"The terrorists killed the men by firing shots at them as a group, then left the women and children in the depth of the desert and drove away," he said.

Mohammad Fathi Hantoush, spokesperson for Anbar province, accused al-Qaeda of planning the attack.

"The bus was travelling on a narrow desert road, which we knew contained remnants of pockets and cells of al-Qaeda," he said. "Security forces have been making efforts to wipe them out for several days."

"The terrorists want to sow crisis between the Iraqi people in an attempt to control the country again, but they will not succeed."

Lt. Gen. Abdul Aziz al-Obaidi, head of the Anbar Operations Command, said the Iraqi army launched a major military operation with 3,000 security personnel from the army's 7th division, Anbar police forces and army aviation forces to search for the perpetrators.

Volunteers from tribes in the province are also taking part in the operation, which will include a search of houses, farms and deserted buildings in the area where the attack took place.

"This crime is horrific and cannot be described," al-Obaidi said. "Only terrorists whose hearts are devoid of any mercy would commit such a crime. Al-Qaeda is the culprit."

"We shall not cease until we detain or eliminate the terrorists. We make a promise to them that we shall retaliate by obliterating their leaders and those who provide them with shelter and sanctuary," he said.

Deputy chairman of the Anbar Provincial Council Sadoun Obaid al-Shalaan said the local government has declared a state of mourning for three days.

"The horrific terrorist attack stunned everyone," he said. "We believe the terrorist cell that carried out the strike is the same one that executed the attack at Um al-Qurra Mosque. Their objective is to create a sectarian crisis between the Iraqi people."

Al-Shalaan called on tribal sheikhs and citizens to "revolt and exact punishment on the thugs in collaboration with our security forces".

"We have had enough of al-Qaeda's crimes and its lackeys. Grief is filling the street and mourning is on everyone's face. We must punish the terrorists."

Sheikh Ahmed Abu Reesha, head of the Iraqi Sahwa Council, said that the council has allocated a reward of 50 million dinars to anyone who provides information that leads to the perpetrators of the attack.

"We instructed tribal leaders to join the Iraqi army and police in the military operation until we wipe out those filthy heads who took part in this heinous massacre," he said.

    I my opinion, this series of crimes and spite will stop for good, God willing, because the Islamic nation is still fine, and Iraq will be one of the most powerful countries, God willing. These hateful, despicable operations will end, God willing. The many acts of murder and violence that took place in Anbar could not be met with silence. However, the heroes of Anbar attacked terrorists everywhere and stood up to them. Anbar is now free of terrorists. But there are some despicable groups that blew up the bus and caused a disaster in the city. The fate of the terrorists who committed this act is still unknown until now. But, God willing, they will be arrested. The martyrs’ families will be happy about it, and the martyrs will be able to rest in their graves, God wiling. All of Iraq, from north to south, is under filthy terrorist attacks. However, God willing, we will get rid of them for good, and Iraq will go back to what it has been and better, God willing. Terrorists will not have a place in Iraq at all, because the heroic Iraqis insist on expelling the cowards from their land for good, God willing. Children, women and old people will rest assured and Iraq will go back to what it has been before, in regards to construction. Terrorism and terrorists will be weakened and the Al Qaeda organization will be destroyed by Iraqis, so that the Arab and Islamic world could be proud of us.

    I have a question. Are the random criminal activities in Iraq committed by some perpetrators with criminal records, or are there some dirty hands running this game that ends with the Iraqi citizens being victims? Is the bus of Anbar the only terrorist act that happened in Iraq?! No. So why is there all this hustle over this incident in particular, at the same time that many attacks happen in Iraq on a daily basis that are committed by terrorists and criminals who shed the Iraqi blood without any consideration? All we can say is that God is sufficient for us, for He is the best Disposer of affairs! May God punish those whom we let lead and to whom we gave our votes to stop these daily massacres of Iraqis! May He punish the criminals who kill Iraqis in cold blood! We pray to God that the perpetrators of these horrific crimes get caught. I call all the Iraqi tribes, especially the tribes of Anbar, to cooperate with the security systems to catch the criminals as soon as possible, because we want retaliation. We want those immoral killers to know that the Iraqi blood will not be in vain; just retribution will be their destiny, by the Will of God.

    We really commend you and wish success for the efforts which are made by the Iraqi security forces and the glorious tribes in order to track down the Takfiri criminal members who targeted a bus in Anbar. In fact, the terrorist al-Qaeda has implemented heinous crimes through targeting unarmed civilians while on their trips, and this is considered one of the ugliest acts which we condemn, given that such an act has horrified us and all Iraqis. Extremist, criminal and terrorist members who have carried out these heinous act must get their just reward. In addition, we have to continue the search process for the offenders who must not escape punishment for their cowardly act. In fact, I am hopeful that the search efforts will not go in vain and that the distinguished efforts which are made by the security forces in Anbar and by the sons of the tribes will succeed.

    The terrorists should know that we will avenge the victims who lost their lives in the Al Nakhib region. I would like to greet the Iraqi forces and all the Iraqi indigenous tribesmen who are undertaking a national mission and making huge efforts for the sake of pursuing the remnants of terrorists in the desert of Al Nakhib and arresting al-Qaeda cells who are terrorizing travelers and committing crimes, as happened with the passengers in the Al Nakhib. I hope that the people and tribes of Anbar and the army and security troops successfully arrest the criminal elements that committed this heinous crime against the Iraqi passengers and killed them. Those criminal and Takfiri gangs have to be arrested, so that they will receive their due punishment, and so they will be an example to any other terrorists who dare to target the Iraqi people. Shame on the criminals and the killers, who will be judged by the Iraqi people, sooner or later. We condemn and denounce all acts of terrorism.

    Dear brothers, we should work continuously to reach the villains who committed this crime, and they must be punished quickly to be an example for anyone who thinks about harming the Iraqi people. The security forces are required to put an end to these violations and security breaches on the international highway that goes through Anbar to be more secure and to avoid such crimes against the innocent passengers in this future.

    I wish that the Iraqi security forces in Anbar and the tribes there would arrest the criminal elements who carried out the crime of Al-Nakhib and killed the passengers on that bus, which was on its way to Syria. The criminals hijacked the bus, took it to the Al-Nakhib area, and killed the passengers there. The people of Anbar and its tribal leaders, in addition to the security forces there, have pledged to carry out continuous campaigns until they arrest the perpetrators of this attack to be executed. That is because such people do not deserve to live and they must be punished, because leaving them alive for a single moment after committing this crime that left twenty-two mutilated victims is unacceptable. The sadness overshadowed Kerbela governorate, because the innocent civilians who were killed are from Kerbela governorate and this deliberate crime was intentionally committed in Anbar governorate to stir up the sectarian strife again. However, the people of Anbar promised the people of Kerbela that the perpetrators would be arrested and then killed quickly, to comfort the families of the victims, who were killed treacherously.

    May God curse the terrorists. We hope that the Iraqi security forces and the tribes will find those who carried out the terrorist operation against the bus in al-Anbar. This terrorist attack has affected many innocent people. In fact, these despicable operations have proven the hatred, brutality and criminality of the terrorists. Thus, the Iraqi security forces must perform their duty. The Iraqi tribes of al-Anbar must also cooperate with the security forces by informing them about any suspicious members. All the people must support the Iraqi security forces in order to arrest the criminal members and gangs that have caused the people’s suffering due to their criminal operations, namely bombing, killings, booby trappings, assassinations, kidnappings and slaughterings. We hope that the security forces will arrest all those who have executed the terrorist attack on the bus of al-Anbar. It is important to track down these criminal members in order to arrest and punish them. This will save the people from their evil and hatred. This would also improve the situation and make the citizens of al-Anbar enjoy calm, stability, peace and security, God willing. Thus, all the people and tribes must cooperate in order to save innocent lives. In fact, these corrupt terrorist members have constituted a threat to the country’s security and stability.

Your ultimate destiny will be at the hands of the Iraqis you criminals, God willing.

    The terrorist attack carried out in the region of Nakhib has claimed the lives of more than 22 innocent Iraqis. It is among the criminal operations that could be added to the criminal series adopted by takfiri members, who are the enemies of Iraq. They are trying to destroy our country and target our people, so that darkness and ignorance will spread in this country that has taught all humanity. This criminal operation has broken the hearts of all Iraqis because of its atrocities. I cannot imagine how a man could be atrociously killed in front of his son and family. We really feel bitter when we see our people being targeted and killed. How long will these crimes remain? How long will the Iraqis bleed? As an Iraqi, I felt much pain because of this cowardly operation and I hope that the criminal members will be accursed by God, and that they will get their due punishment. I also hope that the brave security forces and the Iraqi tribes will continue their search until the arrest of those who have carried out these atrocious crimes. They targeted a bus carrying passengers in the desert of Nakhib. Therefore, terrorist members should know that they will not escape justice. All Iraqis are uniting their lines in order to eradicate terrorism and free Iraq from criminal members. Moreover, terrorists should get the harshest punishments for their cowardly operations, which only showed the degree of the criminality of these evil people, who are targeting innocent people.

    As Iraqis, we must achieve cooperation in order to protect our beloved and heroic Iraq. In fact, the province of Anbar has fought terrorism and terrorists in order to improve the security situation. Thus, I hope that this incident will not be repeated, so that the citizens can enjoy peace and safety. Besides, it is important to restore the martyrs’ families’ rights in order to achieve their tranquility. Thus, I ask the Iraqi judiciary to execute these terrorists immediately, in order for them to be a lesson to those who will try to carry out such cowardly operations. In fact, al-Qaeda is among the terrorist organizations that want to practice injustice and repression the most, especially against Iraqis. May God save us from their evil.

    The massacre on the bus in Anbar is among the most brutal of the terrorist operations. This cowardly operation was carried out by spiteful people who then escaped. Thus, we ask the Iraqi tribes and security forces to continue their search operations in order to arrest these criminals who must receive their due punishment. In fact, these cowardly terrorists must not stay alive, due to their despicable operation. That is why we want these accursed persons to be tortured and punished, because the martyrs’ families are in a tragic situation. In fact, they have been suffering from terrorism and terrorists. Thus, I pray to God Almighty to help with the arrest of these cowardly and despicable criminals, who do not deserve compassion or a decent life. That is why I will be among those who will look for the cowardly terrorists who have carried out this criminal operation. Thus the security forces must intensify their search operations in Anbar in order to restore the martyrs’ families’ rights. Also, the Iraqi tribes must support the security forces in order to arrest all the despicable terrorists who do not want the wellbeing of Iraq and the Iraqis. In fact, these terrorists want to cause disorder in the province of Anbar. That is why we want to pay more attention to the security situation in Anbar.

    Regarding the terrorist attack that was executed by excommunicating criminals who targeted the passengers on a bus in al-Nakhib city: first of all, we disapprove of this cowardly act, and we condemn and reject it in every way possible. It is a cowardly act that can only be committed by dishonorable criminals from whose hearts God has removed mercy. I hope the lives of the pure martyrs will not be lost in vain, and that the criminals will not escape from the hand of the courts and justice. I pray to God, the Lord of the Worlds, that the evil, despicable criminals will be arrested because they committed this heinous crime. This terrorist crime is one of the biggest crimes that caused pain to all Iraqis, because it is a terrible crime that showed the extent of criminality of the elements of excommunication and their low regard for the Iraqis’ blood. The Iraqi justice system has to take revenge against those criminals because of this cowardly act that claimed the lives of a number of innocent people for no reason.

    We hope the security forces will toughen the procedures of search and investigation to reach the criminal murderers who committed this mass murder in the al-Nakhib area. May shame and disgrace be upon the excommunicating terrorism and its despicable criminal followers, who wanted to use this crime to execute their despicable scheme to strike against the national unity and solidarity among Iraqis. However, God Almighty has disappointed them and disgraced their ugly faces. We wish they would be destroyed, along with their excommunicating organization and the terrorist countries that support it among Iraq’s neighbors. These countries do not have good wishes for us and for our country. Those criminals should be arrested, which is what we call for and wish for, to take just revenge against them so that they become an example for others and for anyone who dares to target Iraqis in this bloody way. This will only enhance the solidarity and love between Iraqis, who will thwart terrorism and its schemes that only aim to inflict destruction and ruin on Iraq. May God damn you, you bastard criminals. We are very confident that the security forces will be able, with the help of God, to arrest you. We hope this happens so that you get your just punishment, you cowards.

    We hope that the Iraqi security forces cooperate with the Iraqi tribes so as to reach all the criminals who carried out the terrorist attack on a bus in Anbar province, arrest them and bring them to justice so that they get their just punishment. They have to be a lesson for all criminals and terrorists who carry out attacks and bombings against innocent people, plant explosives and send suicide bombers into crowds of citizens. What happened in Anbar is a heinous crime and we have to reach all the gangs and terrorist groups that carry out such attacks. Thus, it is very necessary that the Iraqi tribes and the people of Anbar province provide support to the security forces, the Army and the police, and cooperate with them in order to pursue and hunt down all the dangerous armed groups. They should use hotlines to report on any suspected criminals or movements, so as to help the Iraqi security forces to get quickly to the hotbeds and camps of the armed gangs that carry out attacks. They have to do that without any fear or hesitation, because that is the way that we can save a lot of innocent lives of people who may fall victims to the terrorist operations and attacks carried out by terrorist and criminal gangs.

    It is very important that the Iraqi tribes cooperate with the security forces for the sake of finding the criminals who carried out the attack on the bus in Anbar province as soon as possible, so as to prevent such things from happening again, and to protect innocent citizens from being endangered and killed in attacks and bombings carried out by terrorist groups. The Iraqi security forces have to do their job and provide the people of the province with security, stability, tranquility and comfort by inspecting and following up on all that is happening and closely monitoring everything. They have to work hard so that the criminal gangs no longer carry out any more operations against peaceful citizens. Citizens are under the protection of the Iraqi security forces, because they are the shield which faces all the attacks directed against innocent people, including women, children, the elderly and young people. We hope that the criminals will be captured as soon as possible, God willing.

    It was really sad to hear about the latest terrorist attack that the infidels of al-Qaeda carried out against civilian passengers who were heading from Karbala to Syria. They are simple civilians and they have nothing to do with all that is happening. So why have they been targeted in this brutal way? The bus they had been riding in was hijacked from outside the international road in Anbar province in particular, and they were killed in a horrible way and their corpses were mutilated. They are innocent Muslims. Why were they attacked in this horrible way? This is the policy of al-Qaeda, which is no longer able to face the security forces. Thus, the only choice that remained for them was to wait for opportunities and target citizens. The objectives behind this dirty crime are known and they are meant to undermine the unity of Iraq and to anger a specific community of the Iraqi people so as to ignite sectarian dissension in the country. However, the security forces and all the people and tribes of Anbar vowed to prosecute all suspects so as to reach those assassins and arrest them as soon as possible. We hope that these criminals don’t get away from punishment and that they are captured by the security forces or the tribesmen who visited the victims’ families and the tribal heads of Karbala to express their sorrow for what happened to the people of Karbala. O Lord, enable our security forces in Anbar province to capture those criminals and execute them, so as to eliminate potential dissension in the country, because they are maliciously planning to ignite sectarian strife for an objective that has become known to everybody.

That’s the fate that awaits anyone who does so. God damn Al-Qaeda and all those working with it, and bless our country and our martyrs and take them to Paradise. We convey our condolences to their families.

    As an Iraqi citizen, I wish from the depths of my heart that Almighty God would bless the Iraqi armed forces and the Iraqi tribes to work collaboratively, so as to participate in launching a campaign of raids against the evil dens which contain the members of the al-Qaeda organization, in terms of terrorists, murders and criminals who have killed the bus passengers in the al-Nikhaib region in Anbar governorate while they were heading towards Syria. We hope that the security forces and the Iraqi tribes will crush the heads of the dirty terrorists from the deviants who have committed this horrible crime, which claimed the lives of a large number of unarmed, innocent Iraqi people. The blood of the innocent Iraqis which has been shed in the Nikhaib region in Anbar and all the Iraqi governorates will, God willing, be a barrage of curses inflicted upon the criminals who have committed this massacre till Judgment Day. Thanks to God who has blessed us with the Shahada and who will curse those who kill the unarmed innocent people with shame and disgrace. Moreover, these acts do not prove manhood in anything, and they are not practiced and committed except by the dwarfs or semi-men who have lost their zealousness and manhood. Where will you go to escape the anger and displeasure of God, while you have widowed the women and orphaned the children? Moreover, we did not hear about such criminal acts even during the time of the primitive tribes in the remote African forests; are you Muslims? No, you are following the religion of terrorism, which the accursed devil has come to you with. You have sold yourselves to it and have fallen into its nets, and today it is your sponsor and it guides you to misguidance and disbelief.

Moreover, the fake veils have been removed from your dirty faces, and you will not be able to scatter the Iraqis again. The Iraqi people are now searching for you everywhere, and they are supported by the Iraqi security systems, so you will get your fair punishment. You will be arrested sooner or later, and the Iraqi territory will be like a tomb for all the terrorist organizations of different types and with their different dirty acts.

    The arrest and execution of these terrorists who are involved in the attack against the bus in Anbar will increase the solidarity between the provinces of Iraq and their inhabitants. In fact, the objective of those who committed this crime is clear and well known. They want to fan sectarianism among the people of Iraq and sow hatred among themselves. And, God willing, they will be found, because there is a party which had already arrested them and will declare that later. In fact, some suspects are accused of being linked with those who carried out this tragic crime against those civilians.

Thus, I pray to God to punish these criminals. And we hope that the heroic security forces will arrest them. I hate these terrorists because they have negatively affected us, as they have claimed the lives of many innocent people. That’s why I ask the heroic security forces to arrest these despicable terrorists. And I hope that they will be executed immediately, because they caused the suffering of many families. Thus, may God help these families to overcome this painful tragedy. In fact, these families deserve all the respect because they have been exposed to these despicable operations. May God help them to enjoy comfort and tranquility. The heroic security forces will continue their search operations. Then these despicable and cowardly terrorists will be arrested, God willing. These terrorists don’t know that the citizens of Anbar are heroes who can shoulder responsibility. Besides, the citizens of Anbar are known for their great achievements in their country and their province. Thus, the situation will become much better than before in Anbar. And the criminals will be arrested in order to get their due punishment, God willing. Therefore, may God bless the martyrs’ blood. In fact, if I find one of these terrorists I will tear him into pieces, as he has torn out the hearts of the poor families who have been orphaned and humiliated. This is in addition to violating their sanctities. Thus, we hope to arrest these terrorists and to bring them to trial so they will get their due punishment. I hope to see them in the dock wearing red clothing, because they have made the families suffer. Thus, we must not remain silent and we must take revenge through arresting these criminals in order for them

You handed Iraq to Iran on a silver platter and you killed Iraq’s honest people. Enough with the lies that Iran and their supporters do not differentiate between a Shia and Sunni!

    The danger of criminal plans and operations still exists. This will constitute a threat to innocent people’s lives. Besides, this will threaten our country. Thus, it has become important to work on protecting our country and our civilians by intensifying the work in a way that can thwart all the criminal and terrorist plans. In fact, many terrorist operations have led to innocent people’s deaths. Then, the terrorist members have been arrested. However, today we want to reveal these terrorist plans and operations at an early time. This is in order to thwart these plans. And this will protect the innocent civilians from the Takfiri and dirty operations. Thus, it is important to actively pusue the intelligence work in order to get rid of the terrorist cells in all the Iraqi regions. This can be achieved through collecting information that can help the Iraqi security forces to fight the remnants of terrorism and to weaken their influence. This is in addition to reducing their role in a way that can thwart their terrorist plans and attacks. In fact, this can be achieved through revealing their terrorist plans and then getting rid of them forever. This is in order to achieve the country’s security, peace and stability. This is also in order to prevent the Takfiri and despicable members from targeting Iraqis in all the provinces. Thus, we are in favor of thwarting the terrorist plans before they occur. In fact, this has become an urgent necessity in this special stage, especially after the heroic acts that have been carried out by the Iraqi security and military forces. These Iraqi forces have fought the remnants of terrorism. That’s why we appreciate their great role in protecting Iraq and Iraqis’ security and safety.

    The Iraqi security forces, the army and police officers should do their duties towards the country and the Iraqi people. They must work in order to maintain security and stability and stop all the attacks and malicious operations that harm the citizens. They shed innocent blood without any guilt. Therefore, it is very important to thwart all the plans that are designed to exterminate as many Iraqis as possible. Iraq should be safe and free from all criminal elements that want to destabilize the country through carrying out occasional operations. Therefore, this is where the role of the security forces, the army and police officers comes in, in order to protect the citizens. They have to do their duties, control all the situations and work on thwarting all the terrorist operations carried out by terrorist members. They are only interested in bloodshed and carrying out atrocious assassinations, and in return for doing so, they are rewarded. It is very important to stop all these operations in all the Iraqi provinces. Terrorist groups should not be reorganized in specific provinces, in order not to rebuild themselves again and restart their activities, because they have not been eradicated forever. Thus, it is necessary to carry out one comprehensive attack that aims at getting rid of all armed elements who want to carry out terrorist attacks against the innocent Iraqi people. Iraq should live in safety, stability and security, similar to the other countries. Iraqis have suffered a lot from deprivation, humiliation, hardships, pain and harm. Therefore, they should get rid of all terrorist members, gangs and cowardly terrorist groups that don’t want the wellbeing of Iraq and Iraqis.

    Those people are real cowards. The lion, Abu Uday, may God have mercy upon him, has passed away, and the donkeys and dogs now do what they want and kill people.

    We do not know whether the Arab world is in a state of revolution or if this is just a conspiracy. Only God knows.

    Terrorism has no religion or sharia. We have to fight this epidemic that destroys the infrastructure of every city in the world. It destroys the youth. We have to fight this epidemic and end it all over the world.

    God is The Great against any oppressor. Our martyrs are in Paradise and their victims are in Hell, by the Will of God.
