New Email From Sabah In Iraq: New Image of Human Remains Turned To Ashes

Topics:

Just received an email from Sabah(also here) with another image from the Al-Mussayib blast that killed 144 people.

According to Sabah, who was at the scene of the suicide bombing and was almost killed, after clearing the scene he and others were astonished to find the exact image of a human corpse that had been completly incinerated into the street. Ashes of the corpses had been washed away by the volunteers without knowng about the incinerated image of the corpse (shown below) until later.

Here are excerpts from Sabah's email:

Since the suicide blast , the carnage sight turned into big collective funerals. Candles were lit on the site close to where there were clues of burnt remains. Soon after clearing the place, we were all astonished to find some exact true copy conform with the human body corpse. Ashes of those corpses were washed away by the volunteers without knowng the fact behind until later! That is why you see a table in the picture - they put such table on the spot just to warn people not to step on the remains- a sign out of deeply respect to those innocent martyrs.

The Number of victims has increased to reach 144 by Friday 22 July,05. Since most of those injured people by burning died even if they not badly have their skins burnt.

... Just imagine how high the blast temperature caused to make human beings vanish in seconds!

Today, another car bobby trapped was heard at eve just 300 meters far from the referred site. Soon after ambulence cars were heard running to and from the place of blast. In addition 2 terrorists were shot in a facing fight with Iraqi Policemen whereas a third one was under arrest was caught close to his booby- trapped car.

Till tomorrow, have my best wishes.

We have previously posted an image of the actual blast, obtained by Sabah's elder son.

We all wish Sabah and his family well. We'll post on any further updates to the Al-Mussayib blast, and other matters from inside Iraq, as they become available.
