Meer dan 15.000 Indonesiërs staan op het punt naar Irak te vertrekken om er de Britse en Amerikaanse invasietroepen aldaar te bevechten. Dat heeft de militante beweging Islam Defenders' Front gisteren aan de krant The Australian gemeld.

De leider van de radicale organisatie, Habib Muhammed Riziq Shihab, zei dat de mudjahedin, ,,heilige krijgers'', op Java en Sumatra zijn gerekruteerd. Degenen met ,,ervaring in de strijd'' -mudjahedin die in Indonesië zelf (Ambon en Soelawesi), in Bosnië of Afghanistan hebben gevochten- zullen zo snel mogelijk naar Irak worden gestuurd.

There is an unconfirmed report about a friendly fire incident in which a Brit tank fired on another one. 2 dead, 2 injured. I'm looking for a credible source.

Edit : Confirmed by Reuters.

WASHINGTON, March 25 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - During the time of war, the U.S. media is coming under water-tight constraints from the Bush administration, signaling perhaps an end to the era of 'free' media.

On Monday, March 24, an alternative news site Yellowtimes.org was shut down by their Internet Service Provider (ISP) after publishing photographs of the U.S. soldiers who were killed captured by Iraqi forces.
