As well, sources out of Baghdad inform us that four Republican Guard officers were executed after failing to implement orders given to attack Shu'la Street in the capital city. The aim of hitting this area was to have the media falsely identify the attacks as the work of Coalition forces. In the end, other officers of the Republican Guards carried out the orders.

Officers executed:

• Colonel Abd Muhallamd al-Ubadi
• Colonel Saad Yas alGhariri
• Raid Sadiq
• Muthana Hamad Kazim.
