| "Thanks fer yore support." |
BAHRAINIS will take to the streets tomorrow to show their support for rebel fighters in Iraq, who have been locked in fierce fighting with US-led forces since they launched a Fallujah offensive on November 6. Two demonstrations have been organised in Manama and Muharraq, which call for the withdrawal of troops and an end to the bloodshed. Organisers of both rallies say they are being staged as a show of solidarity with Iraqi people in general. However, they are also openly supporting resistance in rebel-held strongholds, like Fallujah and Mosul. "First, we want to emphasise that all Bahraini people are unified in their stand toward the US and British aggression against Iraq," said chairman of the National Committee to Support Iraqi People, Dr Hassan Al A'Ali, whose organisation is behind the rally in Manama. We want to emphasise this fact in front of all Bahrain and our neighbouring countries. We also want to show our support and feeling toward what's going on there - especially in Fallujah." |
