2005-04-13
Video with subtitles available on memritv.org, you will have to scroll a couple of pages back in the archives.

With the revelations about one of the photos awarded a Pulitzer being taken by a photographered tipped in advance of terrorist executions, here is another story that details the terrorist use of photographers.

From memritv.org:

Interviewer: Okay. What was your role in this vile miserable terrorist squad?

Omar Allawi: Sir, I am a photographer.

Interviewer: How did you meet them?

Omar 'Allawi: While I was staying at a Mosul hotel, Kna'an came up to me and told me about a plan proposed by his cousin Salem Mula Ali.

Interviewer: A plan for slaughter?

Omar 'Allawi: When I asked, he talked about joining the Liberation Army, which is financed by the Syrian intelligence. I asked him how, and he said that there is no police or government and that when the country stabilizes we will be one of its stronger elements.

Interviewer: Through slaughter.

Omar 'Allawi: Yes, sir. So I became their photographer. They would bring them to the hotel, and I would film them.

Interviewer: How many people were killed in your presence?

Omar 'Allawi: They killed eight policemen and six of the National Guard.

Interviewer: You filmed them?

Omar 'Allawi: Yes, sir.

Interviewer: You didn't participate in the slaughter?

Omar 'Allawi: No, sir. I only filmed them, and once I took part in a kidnapping operation.

Interviewer: Kidnapping who?

Omar 'Allawi: Policemen.

Interviewer: How much did you get for the filming?

Omar 'Allawi: I got $200 for each film.
