Kryqi i Kuq ul aktivitetin në Irak
Komiteti Ndërkombëtar i Kryqit të Kuq i ka ndërprerë përkohësisht operacionet në pjesën më të madhe të Irakut, pasi është i shqetësaur për sigurinë e punonjësve të tij.
Kryqi i Kuq operon që prej tre vjetësh në Irak
Zëdhënësi i i Kryqit të Kuq, Florian Westphal tha se zyrat e tyre në Bagdad dhe Basra po mbylleshin për shkak të, siç u shpreh, "situatës shumë të rrezikshme në vend".
Një bombë e shpërthyer në një makinë pranë selisë qendrore të Kryqit të Kuq në Bagdad mori jetën e 12 njerëzve.

A car bombing at an affluent, largely Arab neighborhood killed at least 11 people and wounded scores of others in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday. The Saudi government has blamed al Qaeda for the attack.
"This confirms that those who carried out the bombing belong to the al-Qaeda movement".
Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz said the authorities would track down the perpetrators of the crime "who claim to be Muslim".
"The president told the crown prince that the United States stands with Saudi Arabia in the war against terrorism," said a spokesman for Geroge W Bush.

17 Italians, 8 Iraqis Killed In Attack On Italian Base In Iraq
Italy's paramilitary police - the Carabinieri - mourn the loss of 11 colleagues along with six other Italians in a bomb attack on their base in the Iraqi city of Nasiriya
Italian soldiers of the18th regiment in Iraq
BAGHDAD, November 12 ( News Agencies) - At least 25 people were reportedly killed and 13 others wounded in an attack Wednesday, November 12, on an Italian police base in southern Iraq, as the death toll continued to rise in Iraq with one soldier killed in northern Baghdad and 5 Iraqi civilians shot dead by U.S. troops in Fallujah.
At least 17 Italians were killed in a suicide attack on an Italian base in Iraq Wednesday, Italian spokesman Gianfranco Scalas said, making it the worst single attack on the U.S.-led occupation forces here.
"We have four soldiers, two civilians and 11 carabinieri killed," Scalas told reporters just outside the bombed headquarters in this southern town according to Agence France-Presse (AFP),
The coalition death toll exceeded the 17 U.S. dead in a November 2 missile strike against a Chinook military transport helicopter and marked the first major attack on the U.S.-led forces outside the Sunni Muslim heartlands that spread north and west from the capital.
In Rome, Italian Defence Minister Antonio Martino confirmed eight Iraqi civilians had also been killed in the attack, making the total death toll 25.
"The Italian dead numbered 17 -- 11 carabinieri, four soldiers and two civilians. There were also eight Iraqis killed," Martino told the lower house of the Italian parliament.
"Of the 20 Italians wounded, 15 were carabinieri, four were soldiers -- including one in serious condition -- and one was a civilian."
A booby-trapped car exploded in Iraqi city of Nasiriyah, 400km south of Baghdad, causing the casualties, IslamOnline.net's correspondent quoted as saying the spokesman for the Italian forces in Iraq, General Guido Bellini.
The fire gutted the building housing members of the Italian detachment, as several other police agents were reportedly trapped under the rubble.
Fire engulfed several vehicles in a courtyard and an ammunition dump, according to Andrea Angeli, a spokesman for the U.S.-led occupation forces following the powerful early-morning explosion.
Expressing condolences to the families of the dead officers, President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi said, "we will continue to fulfill our role, at the side of our allies and the United Nations, in the fight against international terrorism," reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, for his part, said he Italian forces will remain in Iraq despite the attack.
"Our determination is the same as those Italians in uniform who are honoring the coalition engaged in supporting Iraq on its road to democracy," Berlusconi said.
"No intimidation will change our desire to help this country to rebuild and form a government, in security and freedom," he added.
The lower house Chamber of Deputies and the Italian Senate suspended their sessions in mourning on receiving news of the attack.
The Italian mission includes ground troops, members of the air force and police along with three naval ships and 40 Red Cross volunteers.
2 U.S. Soldiers Killed
"No intimidation will change our desire to help this country to rebuild and form a government," Berlusconi
Meanwhile, two U.S. soldiers were killed and four wounded in separate bomb attacks in Baghdad late Tuesday, a military spokeswoman said Wednesday.
"One 1st First Armored Division soldier died and two were wounded in an IED (improvised explosive device) attack in Baghdad," she told AFP.
"Despite best efforts at treatment, one soldier was pronounced dead at 9:00 pm at the 28th Combat Support Hospital. The other two wounded soldiers were taken to the 47th Combat Support Hospital for treatment," she added.
Also Tuesday, "one Task Force Ironhorse soldier was killed and two were wounded when their military vehicle struck an IED northwest of Baghdad," she said.
"The wounded soldiers were treated at a nearby combat support hospital and were returned to duty," she added.
The death raised to 156 the number of U.S. soldiers killed in attacks in Iraq since May 1, when Washington declared the war on Iraq effectively over.
They include six who died when a Blackhawk helicopter was shot down near Tikrit on Friday, November 7.
Additionally, the Headquarters of the U.S. occupation forces in the Iraqi capital has come under a rocket attack on Tuesday, the fourth over the past few weeks, IOL quoted a U.S. spokesman as saying on Wednesday.
The spokesman said that at least 4 rockets, presumably Russian-made Katusha rockets, fell on the Green Zone, where the former Presidential Palace, the Conference Palace and Al-Rashid Hotel are located on the western side of river Tigris.
The U.S. spokesman admitted that a number of armored vehicles, parked in the Green Zone, have been damaged due to yesterday night’s rocket attack.
On the other side of River Tigris, an area called Al-Rusafa side witnessed a time-bomb explosion on Tuesday evening that killed 4 civilians and injured 3 others, eyewitnesses said.
The town of Haditha, some 250km west of Baghdad, witnessed a resistance attack on a U.S. convoy on the main road in the town, destroying an army tank, a U.S. spokesman said.
The top U.S. ground commander in Iraq, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, said Tuesday that U.S. forces come under an average of 30 attacks every day.
Iraqis Gunned Down
Elsewhere in the war-torn country, five Iraqi civilians died and four others were wounded when U.S. troops opened fire on a truck at the entrance of the flashpoint town of Fallujah, police said Wednesday.
The U.S. military could not confirm the incident that police said took place late Tuesday in Fallujah, 50km from the capital.
"The U.S. forces had erected a checkpoint at the entrance of Fallujah to catch thieves who have been stealing steel from a nearby factory," police Major Assaad Abdul Karim told AFP.
"When the truck came near the American base at around 9:00 pm (1800 GMT) last night, they apparently thought they were steel thieves, so they opened fire and killed five of them and injured four others," he said.
"This is a wrongful action," he charged.
Abdul Karim said the U.S. forces "asked us to come to their base today (Wednesday) to take the bodies of the five people killed and the four other people wounded."
Khaled Majed Khalifa, who said he lost a son and two grandchildren in the shooting, told AFP: "We are farmers. We buy and sell chicken in the region of Fallujah.
"Yesterday, as usual, my son was with two of my grandchildren and six other people when they were coming from Karma to the east of Fallujah, on a truck full of chickens," he said.
"When they arrived at the entrance of Fallujah, in an area close to a farm where U.S. troops are based, they came under heavy fire from the U.S. troops," he said.
"My son Majed, 37 as well as my grandchildren, Khaled, 10, and Walid, 18, were killed. Two other people were killed," he said.
Fallujah lies in the so-called "Sunni triangle" where U.S. troops come under daily attacks by Iraqis fighting against occupation

US helicopters crash over N Iraq
There have been a series of US helicopter losses in recent weeks
Seventeen coalition soldiers have been killed and five wounded in a mid-air collision between two US helicopters.
The Black Hawk helicopters - both from the 101st Airborne Division - crashed over the northern city of Mosul.
Witnesses say one of the helicopters was hit by a missile and span out of control into the other, but officials have not commented on the cause.
The incident came as the US-appointed Governing Council unveiled a timetable to full Iraqi independence.
The crash comes five days after an American Chinook helicopter was shot down near Baghdad killing 16.
The BBC's Peter Greste in Baghdad says that if this latest disaster proves to be the result of an attack, it will once more underline just how wide the insurgency is spreading.
Well organised insurgents
The aircraft crashed over a residential part of Mosul shortly after dark, the American military said in a statement.
One soldier is still unaccounted for.
"The cause of the incident is under investigation," the military added.
However some eyewitnesses said a rocket-propelled grenade or missile had struck one of the helicopters.
The first (helicopter) climbed and hit the higher one.
Eyewitness
A man quoted by Reuters news agency said he had seen the two helicopters collide after an explosion.
"I looked outside the window and saw two helicopters," he said.
"One was flying low and was on fire. The other was higher up. The first one climbed and hit the higher one."
Mosul is located well to the north of the so-called "Sunni triangle" that has been at the heart of the insurgency.
However the city is home to both Sunni Muslims and Kurds, and in recent weeks coalition forces in the region have been fighting an increasingly well organised resistance.
Revised timetable
On Saturday the Iraqi Governing Council said the US-led coalition would hand over power to a transitional government by June 2004.
Bremer (centre) plans to end US occupation next year
The announcement came after Iraqi leaders met US chief administrator Paul Bremer in Baghdad.
Mr Bremer had earlier returned from the US, where plans for a faster handover were agreed at the White House.
The transitional body will prepare for a full sovereign Iraqi government by 2005, following a general election.
The plan is a much faster route to Iraqi sovereignty than the one previously laid out.
Council President Jalal Talabani - speaking after the meeting with Mr Bremer - said the transitional body would be selected after consultations with "all parties" in Iraqi society.
Sunni Muslim council member Adnan Pachachi said the move would "restore sovereignty" and give "a chance to a representative of the Iraqi people to represent Iraq".
President Bush described the revised handover plan as "an important step toward realising the vision of Iraq".
US helicopters crash over N Iraq
Seventeen coalition soldiers have been killed and five wounded in a mid-air collision between two US helicopters.
The Black Hawk helicopters - both from the 101st Airborne Division - crashed over the northern city of Mosul.
Witnesses say one of the helicopters was hit by a missile and span out of control into the other, but officials have not commented on the cause.
The incident came as the US-appointed Governing Council unveiled a timetable to full Iraqi independence.
The crash comes five days after an American Chinook helicopter was shot down near Baghdad killing 16.
The BBC's Peter Greste in Baghdad says that if this latest disaster proves to be the result of an attack, it will once more underline just how wide the insurgency is spreading.
Well organised insurgents
The aircraft crashed over a residential part of Mosul shortly after dark, the American military said in a statement.
One soldier is still unaccounted for.
"The cause of the incident is under investigation," the military added.
However some eyewitnesses said a rocket-propelled grenade or missile had struck one of the helicopters.
The first (helicopter) climbed and hit the higher one.
Eyewitness
A man quoted by Reuters news agency said he had seen the two helicopters collide after an explosion.
"I looked outside the window and saw two helicopters," he said.
"One was flying low and was on fire. The other was higher up. The first one climbed and hit the higher one."
Mosul is located well to the north of the so-called "Sunni triangle" that has been at the heart of the insurgency.
However the city is home to both Sunni Muslims and Kurds, and in recent weeks coalition forces in the region have been fighting an increasingly well organised resistance.
Revised timetable
On Saturday the Iraqi Governing Council said the US-led coalition would hand over power to a transitional government by June 2004.
