Olives Irrigated With Blood

Nobody could describe the state of destruction in the village of death. Destruction was all around, impressions of the tragedy are found wherever you look around. Dozens of innocent victims had stepped over this ground toward their final fate, to be buried in mass graves.

In Diyala province, Albo Tu’mma village east of Baquba is one of those villages that fell to Al Qaeda in 2006. It proved to be one of Al Qaeda’s most important bastions and was where the movement established its great prison: East Baquba.

Dozens of people who were abducted from the main road which links Baquba and Mansuriya were held in that jail, after Al Qaeda broadened its area of control to dominate another 15 villages, 11 of which were totally destroyed.

In addition dozens of families were forced out and others vanished, their fate still unknown.
