GAZA (PIC)– Two Palestinian refugees in Iraq were killed at the hands of armed sectarian militias believed to be sanctioned by the US occupation forces in that Arab country well-informed Palestinian sources affirmed.
According to the sources Palestinian refugee Mohammed Ali Sadek and one of his companions (not yet identified) died when armed Iraqi militias stormed their home in the Ghazaleyya suburb in the capital Baghdad and shot them.
On Tuesday the PA refugees affairs ministry in the PA caretaker government issued a statement over the incident (a copy of which was obtained by the PIC) affirming that Iraqi militiamen in plain clothes on board Iraqi police vehicles stormed the building of Palestinian refugees in Al-Nedal street and imposed 200 dollars tax money on each refugee to spare his/her life.
In addition the armed gangs gave the refugees two days to evacuate the building and leave to temporary refugee camps at the Iraqi-Syrian borders or else they will be killed.
More than 140 Palestinian refugees have been killed and hundreds others were kidnapped jailed and tortured in Iraqi and American-administered jails since the US-led forces occupied that Arab country in 2003.
Thousands of Palestinian refugees including children women and elderly people among others fled the country and sought refuge in neighboring Arab countries but found the borders closed before them forcing them to remain in temporary tents in the open air amidst absolute lack of basic human needs.
