THEFT OF 31 MILLION DINARS IN AN ARMED ROBERY IN EASTERN BAGHDAD

[Dinerry]

Welllllllllll.. to me this means they stole the millions because they know how valuable they will be. But of course they are probably valuable just as they are, this moment. But I was thinking it was of something of huge value. Very scarey for the security driver, for sure!

The Article :

According to an official security source in the Iraqi police, on Monday, unidentified armed men stole $ 31 million Iraqi dinars in an armed robbery in eastern Baghdad.

The source said in an interview for “Alsumaria News”, “unknown gunmen traveling in civilian cars, they have to pursue a civilian cars, afternoon, and forced the owner to stop in the area of Palestine Street in eastern Baghdad, and robbed him of $ 31 million Iraqi dinars under the threat of arms.”

The source, who requested anonymity, that “the security forces near the scene cordoned off the place and began a search for militants who managed to escape after carrying out the robbery.”

Baghdad has seen today, a bomb adhesive type of car Kia saloon, was parked near the home of a residential street in the sixtieth session of area south of Baghdad, resulting in fully harmed without casualties.

The capital Baghdad and the different parts of Iraq have seen, during the recent period, a significant increase in armed robberies targeting the majority of banks and stores of gold and banking, most recently on 11 October this as a compromise by unidentified gunmen on two shops for banking in the Al-Rasheed Street in central Baghdad, which killing two of the owners of shops and injuring two others, and the theft of money do not specify a value.

Yea, it says, "Hurry up and RV so that we can take even MORE advantage of our political and security vacuum suckers!"

Thanks for the post Dinerry

[lechesuerte]

Any robberies get me worried that they may eventually decide to do something different about a RV or currency in general due to the high amount of unaccounted currency. Hopefully they have serial numbers on this and the other stolen currency, but even that may not make a difference. Let's get this done.....NOW.

GO RV in 2010!!!

It means nothing, you know how many bank robberies occur in the US every day?

It means nothing, a whopping robbery worth $31,000 in USD. You know how many bank robberies occur in the US every day?

Not of that magnitude by comparison though,

Maybe this is part of the reason that 20,000 troups are to be sent back to Iraq?

[Richardk]

This seems to be at the point our country was in the 1930's and 1940's. Mobsters controlled many of our cities until we formed the FBI & "G" Men.

I haven't seen anything on sending back 20,000 troops. If so it's about time, IMO we shouldn't have pulled out until Iraq has become a lot more stable. Obama made a very poor choice to pull out our troops because he "made a promise". Jeez, I'm sorry, Obama made "ANOTHER" poor choice. These statements are IMO. Vote in November, PLEASE.

God Bless Our Troops and God Bless America

Go RV/RI

Well, RichardK, you made me wonder if I just dreamed about the additional troops or had read old news and mistook it for current news so I did some searching. I read it on a different thread here and have copied an excerpt and given the link. Yet when I go back to the original source it is all in Arabic, so I don't know what sofrware did the translation and whether or not we should believe it. Do note the parts I bolded that give one of the reasons as 'emergency'. If there is controversy or unrest there, the troops may be needed for a short while. So as much as I hate to see more troops deployed, if it is true, I'd rather see that now than after some conflict escalates. However, when doing a Google search I could NOT find a similar article from the U.S. confirming it.

True, but an RV would change the value considerably. I have to agree with the concern as they may want to thwart Thieves ( better known as politicians ) , counterfeiters, and the such. We may only be seeing a few articles about the problem, it may be much greater then we know.

I say RV now before the problem gets to big.
