1. (C) Two days after the Al-Askariya Shrine was damaged in
Samarra, the situation in Ninewa has remained calm. Yousef
Muharam of the predominantly Shiite, Shabek Democratic Assembly,
and Aref Younis of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution of
Iraq (SCIRI) reported there were peaceful demonstrations this
morning in Bartalla, where it was estimated that over 1,000
people participated, and much smaller demonstrations in Sadda
and Qubba villages of Telkaif. Younis reported there was a
peaceful demonstration by a handful of Sunni Arabs in Hay
Al-Najar neighborhood in Mosul as well. Both men attributed the
success of the demonstrations to Coalition Force (CF) and Iraqi
Police presence, and thanked the USG and CF for their
assistance. The Iraqi Police and Provincial Joint Communication
Center (PJCC) also reported no incidents of violence.
2. (C) General Abdul Hameed Khalaf, information director for
the Iraqi Police in Mosul, told the PRT on February 24 that the
people of Mosul have not reacted violently because they know
that those who committed the attack in Samarra were, "Outsiders
who did not wish good for the Iraqi people." He said Iraqi's
are united in not allowing foreign terrorists to hinder the
country's progress.
