发帖数: 654 | 1 BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Iraq's capital wants the United States to apologize and
pay $1 billion for the damage done to the city not by bombs but by blast
walls and Humvees since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
The city's government issued its demands in a statement on Wednesday that
said Baghdad's infrastructure and aesthetics have been seriously damaged by
the American military.
"The U.S. forces changed this beautiful city to a camp in an ugly and
destructive way, which reflected deliberate ignorance and carelessness about
the simplest forms of public taste," the statement said.
"Due to the huge damage, leading to a loss the Baghdad municipality cannot
afford...we demand the American side apologize to Baghdad's people and pay
back these expenses."
The statement made no mention of damage caused by bombing.
Baghdad's neighborhoods have been sealed off by miles of concrete blast
walls, transforming the city into a tangled maze that contributes to massive
traffic jams. Despite a sharp reduction in overall violence in recent years
only 5 percent of the walls have been removed, officials said.
The heavy blast walls have damaged sewer and water systems, pavement and
parks, said Hakeem Abdul Zahra, the city spokesman.
U.S. military Humvees, driven on street medians and through gardens, have
also caused major damage, he said.
"The city of Baghdad feels these violations, which have taken place for
years, have caused economic and moral damage," he said.
U.S. troops pulled out of Iraq's cities in June 2009 before formally ending
combat operations last August. Around 50,000 remain in Iraq but they are
scheduled to withdraw by year end.
Baghdad is badly in need of a facelift. Electricity and trash collection are
sporadic, streets are potholed and sewage treatment plants and pipes have
not been renovated for years.
Iraq has seen growing protests in recent weeks over poor government services.
Zahra said the city's statement issued on Wednesday would be the start of
its measures to get the United States to pay for damages but he did not say
what other steps might be taken.
