  • Chronology of Events in Iraq, June 2003*
    * Chronology of Events in Iraq, June 2003 June 1 Gun amnesty declared. (Kurdistan Democratic Party newspaper Khabat) The two weeks' notice given by the coalition forces to the population to hand over weapons and ammunitions in Iraq, started. Everyone can put his gun in a plastic bag and bring it to the Iraqi police centres. According to a statement by the coalition forces, anyone who carries gun in the streets, except a pistol, which has been allowed, after the two weeks notice will be immediately arrested and punished. It was stated that people can possess rifles like Kalashnikovs at home, but they are not allowed to carry them in the markets. Ba’athist killed in Basra. (Al-Jazeera satellite TV) A former army colonel who worked for the security agencies was targeted and killed on the Umm-Qasr-Basra road. June 2 Food rationing resumes in Iraq. (Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty RFE/RL Iraq Report) Millions of Iraqis began collecting food rations as the UN World Food Program restarted the distribution of monthly ration packages in Iraq after two months. The rations will be given to Iraqi citizens who present pre-war ration cards. Around 60 percent of Iraqis were dependent on monthly rations under the deposed Baath regime. The UN distributed the rations from 1996 until the start of US-led war under the oil-for-food program, which is currently being phased out under UN Security Council Resolution 1483. Tension between Arabs and Kurds in Daquq region. (Iraqi Kurdish newspaper Jamawar) It was reported by Kurdish sources that after the Arabs who had been brought to the Daquq province within the context of the Arabization process had fled, and the Kurds returned to their properties and homes, some Arabs once again intend to fight their way back to those regions.

  • Chronology of Events in Iraq, April 2003*
    * Chronology of Events in Iraq, April 2003 April 1 Saddam’s Fedayeen put on the front line to prevent desertion. (Iraqi Kurdistan Democratic Party newspaper Brayati) After the surrender of a large number of officers and soldiers on the front-line areas to peshmarga forces, Iraqi authorities brought a large number of party and military officials to the front-lines to prevent soldiers from escaping to Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq. They have organized death squads to execute those whom they suspect of planning to desert. In another step, the regime has brought Fedayee Saddam and placed them at front lines in confrontation areas. It was reported that, after withdrawing from Arbil plain towards Pirde (Altun Kopri), the regime brought a considerable number of Fedayee Saddam to the area. The source added that the forces of Fedayee Saddam had been authorized to kill any soldier who tries to escape to Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq. Iraqi forces shell areas under Kurdish control. (Iraqi Kurdistan Democratic Party newspaper Brayati) After Iraqi forces pulled out of Bardarash heights, the peshmerga moved towards those positions to observe the withdrawal process and check the evacuated hilltops and positions of the government military. Government forces shelled with artillery and mortar both Bardarash villages, hitting and damaging the Kurdistan School in Azadi District and a number of citizens' houses in the township. There were no casualties among the civilians. Civilians forcibly recruited in Mosul. (Iraqi Kurdistan Democratic Party newspaper Brayati) It was reported that the Iraqi government has forced every family in Mosul city to fill 80 sacks with earth to build mounds.

  • Acknowledgements (12 September 2004 2330)
    Acknowledgements (12 September 2004 2330) This report is the product of the hundreds of individuals who participated in the efforts of Iraq Survey Group (ISG): The Australian, British, and American soldiers, analysts, and support per- sonnel who fi lled its ranks. They carried out their roles with distinction, and their work refl ects creditably on the commitment of Washington, London, and Canberra to fi rmly support the mis- sion throughout a long and diffi cult period. Two of our colleagues gave their lives during ISG’s fi eld inspections. On April 26, Sgt. Sherwood R. Baker and Sgt. Lawrence A. Roukey died while providing security for one of the most critical ISG investigations when an explosion destroyed the facility being inspected. Their memory has been present throughout the creation of this report. The analysts and case offi cers who came to Iraq, most for the fi rst time, worked hard to develop the information to support this report. They labored long hours to develop intelligence reports and the text that became this report, a diffi cult task to which they responded with enthusiasm. This report also builds upon the work of a broader universe of people who have striven to under- stand the role of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq during the past decade or more. United Nations inspectors and analysts around the world have wrestled with this issue trying to sort out reality and develop policies to mitigate suffering and avoid confl ict. Hopefully this report will provide some answers or at least more data for constructive review.
