[HCDX] English from the Voice of Iraqi Kurdistan

[anker.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx]

4085, Voice of Iraqi Kurdistan, Salah al-Din near Mosul, Iraq. While the 
Kurdistan Democratic Front is approaching Mosul supported by U.S. Special 
Forces, I heard for the first time a message in English via this clandestine. On 
Apr 05 at 2000-2022 there was as usual a long proclamation against Saddam 
Hussein in Arabic. This was followed by military band music and an eight 
minutes long, but badly modulated message in U.S. English about the Iraqi 
weapons of mass destruction, instructions to Iraqis on how to safeguard 
themselves and not provoke fatal incidents at Coalition checkpoints, and 
requirement that prisoners of war should be treated according to the Geneva 
Conventions. After Kurdish music the station signed off 2033. 44443 (Petersen)

Best 73,
Anker
