 &lt;br /&gt;Without any interfering from the cops, even though all families have reported a kidnapping issues to the cops…(I don't have any issue against cops, regarding to what happened to me last few months :P)&lt;br /&gt;One of the freed hostages told me that at the day he was freed the kidnapers thanked him and told him that "You have financed Al-Mujahdeen now, God bless you!!?"&lt;br /&gt;Even thought the news of freeing the Australian hostage Douglas wood was really great, but there is feeling sometimes that cops don't bother them selves with these interior cases…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I guess you knew why I didn't blog anything, all I wish my is next post will be on some thing more delightful…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7715254-112145026806574247?l=iraqi4ever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7715254/posts/default/112145026806574247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7715254/posts/default/112145026806574247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iraqi4ever.blogspot.com/2005/07/blogging-again.html' title='Blogging again..'/><author><name>Ferid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14708503176932380211</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715254.post-111582567357384354</id><published>2005-05-11T19:39:00.000+04:00</published><updated>2005-05-14T17:12:10.553+04:00</updated><title type='text'>Baseball</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size="2"&gt;Damn it, they were playing just near were I live and only now I knew about it :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=52782875&amp;cdi=0" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gettyimages.com/comp/52782875.jpg?x=x&amp;dasite=MS_GINS&amp;ef=2&amp;ev=1&amp;dareq=E2399169AC85D6DE9A21091711E5AD1E0125B777F793E9467757C85AE85A779B" height="408" width="375"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caption: BAGHDAD, IRAQ - MAY 10: Members of Baghdad softball team read a book before practice May 10, 2005 in Baghdad, Iraq.

the only excited thing for them and for me lately was to know the full story of every new one get arrested, after I finished my stupid story I was called for the rest of my presence there as Al-Zarkawi assistant :P or the doctor;&lt;br /&gt;The others were accused for hijacking, robberies, possession stolen money and even psychos…all proclaimed they were innocents just like me :P&lt;br /&gt;Just few minutes I was there then it was launch time, the launch was rice, bean sauce and chicken, one of prisoners complained saying oh my god chicken chicken why they just don't change!&lt;br /&gt;Still it's hard people to believe me, each time I tell my story here since prisoners food at Saddam time was merely water, bread and sometimes rice, after the launch there was tea and orange, and this is as they told me all from the seven dollar for each prisoner a day allowanced by the U.S army…even though they were complaining of the food taste, I myself didn't eat anything so can't tell why :P&lt;br /&gt;As the night came down two others were brought, it was so loud and clear the cops was beating them with sticks or maybe something else, when they locked them with us I saw wounds and cuts at different parts of their bodies, few minutes later they were called again; heard from the others that it is time for the torture room electric shocks, hot or cold water were just one of the few methods they were talking about, and I was shocked that most of them were tortured and showed me an old signs of torturing.&lt;br /&gt;I told them "well human rights were really improved after the war, and there is free media and newspapers, is it possible that you can uncover what is happening here?"&lt;br /&gt;One laughed and pointed at man sleeping at the corner, and told me that he is chief editor of a newspaper; that man joined us and showed me many photos he took with many well known politics like Jalal Talabani, Ahmed chalabi and others…&lt;br /&gt;I asked him if he is here because of something he wrote, replied "that this is nothing compared with the deep corruption happening here; look at your case, me you and the rests are here while real terrorists are out free, when you are here the cops determine how much they take money from you according to what crime you have committed"&lt;br /&gt;He as an example paid them 4000$ and waited his release for about 50 days, the other was a suspect of kidnapping operation his price was 10,000$&lt;br /&gt;If real terrorists were caught they ask them for even 100,000$, I didn't believe them at beginning, until next day when my brother told us that three officers asked him for a price to offer there services, like forwarding my papers to the judge or I could locked forever…&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I slept that night for maybe 2 hours or less, at the morning I finally had the chance to see the judge, gave my testimony and he didn't count me as an innocent, I was freed with a bail…So now and as they say I have records; &lt;br /&gt;The ironic thing that I was not arrested by the old regime, instead I was arrested by this government which I defended and till now about it…&lt;br /&gt;I know the real one to blame is me, at Saddam time if such accident occurred I would walk at the opposite side, expecting that all the people near it will be arrested, not just walking there stupidly with my camera…&lt;br /&gt;I really have nothing against the cops now, it took me a while to post my second part and really thought of not posting it at all, there are for sure great cops who are offering there lives for the rest of this country, waiting for the civil institutions too see the light defending for the human rights or monitor employees and all government's departments :) &lt;br /&gt;

until the day before yesterday and as I've arrived to my college, I watched a crowed of students gathering near parts of trapped vehicle I knew lately that it was just detonated half an hour ago, so I thought of taking some photos with my digital camera that I just bought lately, and maybe post here with another photos showing all the damage that caused by the explosion for the near properties…trying to shed more light for such accidents that happens nearly every days, and not like how the media cover a tragedy of 100 family lost there beloved one with maybe a one minute report like what happened in Al-Hilla days ago, then the worse watching the family of that Jordanian terrorist receive celebration !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway and back to my story, and just after taking two photos for it, one of the police man suddenly took my camera and dragged me to there vehicle, telling me that "who allowed you to take photos? You are a terrorist and trying to sell these photos!!"&lt;br /&gt;So I became a terrorist!!  and as trying to clarify everything I told him "That these are old Saddam cops procedures and am just student at that college…"&lt;br /&gt;Am pretty sure now that it was not the best line to pick up, since that cop picked his walkie-talkie and reported to the police station, "A suspect has been captured near the scene, holding a camera and offended the police men!!"&lt;br /&gt;The answer was "Hold the suspect for more interrogations later"  &lt;br /&gt;That stunned me and even more the other cops that were near me, one of the cops told the officer why sir, you know he is an innocent, I really thought that I can solve this misunderstanding, but the other cops told me that they can't do anything now, not even him; now it's between you and the judge at the court!!&lt;br /&gt;I was escorted to Al-Alathamyia Police station, on my way to the police I saw American soldiers at the garage of the station, thought if I should start, then maybe best to start that am a blogger, and not a terrorist, like what those stupid cops think :P&lt;br /&gt;I was not chained at that time, and soldiers where not away from me, but I canceled that idea telling to myself, I can easily solve my problem there, and what if the soldier didn't understand a word from me :P &lt;br /&gt;Then maybe I'll just complicate my case; at the station and after I gave my statement waiting to be raised to the judge, one of cops told me that it's forbidden an all world to tape a terrorist action, I answered him "Why? You remember in 9/11 when the two planes hits the towers, did they arrest every one who taped it!!!&lt;br /&gt;Replied "That operation was held by the American government, and they put the cameras and broadcast it live to the world!!!"&lt;br /&gt;I said well I thought It's a free country now, the other replied "who is laughing at you with this, who said were not free at Saddam time!!!"&lt;br /&gt;Then I tired to change the subject asking when I'll see the judge, other one told me there is no judge now, it's 2:00PM you'll have to until tomorrow, for now we'll have to lock you with the other prisoners :0&lt;br /&gt;And as they were taking me to custody, now I was hoping to see an American soldier on my way, as I've seen them walking in the station while I was giving my statement, couldn't find a single one all disappeared, I saw instead my brother there as my friends in the college called my family and told them about me…&lt;br /&gt;I knew from him friends of mine and relatives are outside the station now, I told him what I brought to myself, later I knew that he bribed some officers but they couldn't do anything it's the stupid routine that they have restrict to it…&lt;br /&gt;The officer took me again to the custody, I told the officer it is me not the terrorist who was arrested and he replied "can you imagine how he is laughing at you now"&lt;br /&gt;Few months ago, I posted how great Cops are, and put some photos for them now I really should delete it :P&lt;br /&gt;Then he opened the door of custody, I was in and saw nearly twenty prisoners there; I'll post the rest of what I've seen inside soon…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the photo I took, I believe I was just so optimist for the whole situation in Iraq, realized now every thing need time, or maybe I was just dealing with stupid cops… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/86868466@N00/6773102/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos7.flickr.com/6773102_0ee6db2d94_m.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

then it continued to all kind of power supplies, you can see now queues up to five kilometers on gas stations, queues for cooking gas and petroleum  oil….letting the people ask what kind of preparations did the government take for this winter!&lt;br /&gt;And to tell the truth I was just spending the few hours of electricity between my studies and playing the latest games of X-BOX….&lt;br /&gt;I just bought it few days ago, really didn't know that this device reached Iraq, I asked and they told me it entered immediacy after the war ended, that's another reason for War :P &lt;br /&gt;I wonder when I'll grow up and quit playing games :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the translation of last &lt;a href="http://www.futureiraq.org/iraq.wmv" target="_blank"&gt;commercial&lt;/a&gt;

this is a little bit ironic but here is there excuses: &lt;br /&gt;shia represented by the Iraqi national guard, and there bloody leader Iyad Alawi are killing the Mujahdeen and civilian people in Fallugah followed by the break to the most respected mosque of sunna "Abo Hannifa mosque" In Al-Athamyia and the later violence actions happened next day, that &lt;a href="http://healingiraq.blogspot.com/"  target="_blank"&gt;Zeyad&lt;/a&gt; mentioned it…&lt;br /&gt;The other excuse is the way that Ayat –Allah Al-Sistani react; he simply didn't react about it at all, I've watched a program on Al-jazeera that last for nearly an hour, there were callings supposed to be from Iraq, and they were to be exactly….screaming :P using all the verbal language you might think about, how he left Al-Fallugah for the occupiers…and sadly the same that I've read in a blog&lt;a href=" http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/ " target="_blank"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt; Furthermore, where is Sistani? Why isn't he saying anything about the situation? When the South was being attacked, Sunni clerics everywhere decried the attacks. Where is Sistani now, when people are looking to him for some reaction? The silence is deafening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wont comment on it, afraid of accusing me as a sectarian person even though only raising such a subject for some people is an enough excuse for accusing…as an example Saddam regime didn't accused by them as a sectarian regime, while the temporary Iraqi council was accused, simply because that council paid attention for all sections of Iraq, while the old regime didn't at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all it's just injustice to accuse Sunna about it, those are just ex-ba'atheis that enjoy the instability, and know exactly how to use these moments for dividing this country…and we are in front of the first time event "the elections" separated by only two months…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found these great videos on Iraqi web site, &lt;a href=" http://www.futureiraq.org/intro.htm " target="_blank"&gt; Future Iraq&lt;/a&gt; they are played between breaks in some Arabic and Iraqi satellite channels except al-jazeera :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.futureiraq.org/unity-arabic.wmv" target="_blank"&gt;Unity&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=" http://www.futureiraq.org/security60arabic.wmv " target="_blank"&gt;security&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.futureiraq.org/iraq.wmv" target="_blank"&gt;

Because they didn't leave the city as they ordered…and we suppose to believe this, the problem is some people believe every thing Al-Jazeera say here!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mate in the college, is now blogging at &lt;a href="http://saleemtheiraqi.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Free Iraq&lt;/a&gt;…and need some encouragement…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7715254-110028538941103542?l=iraqi4ever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7715254/posts/default/110028538941103542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7715254/posts/default/110028538941103542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iraqi4ever.blogspot.com/2004/11/bla-bla-bla.html' title='Bla bla bla'/><author><name>Ferid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14708503176932380211</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715254.post-109894194061245080</id><published>2004-10-28T08:40:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2004-10-28T08:45:09.630+03:00</updated><title type='text'>a letter</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a letter that I found in a &lt;a href="http://www.aliraqi.org" target="_blank"&gt;forum&lt;/a&gt; from an Iraqi citizen in Fallugah, being translated by one of the members there…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"…&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="yellow"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the Name of Allah the Compassionate and Merciful,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a citizen of Fallujah and have sent this call to most Iraqi newspapers, but everybody is scared of conveying the truth about my town and you are my last hope. I left the town with my family last night not to escape from the occupiers' bombs but to escape a fatwa by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Janabi and the "Consultation Council in Fallujah". The gist of it is that each head of a family with daughters of more than 10 years of age should marry them off to one of the Mujahideen to protect them from rape by occupation soldiers should they overrun the town. I am a father of three daughters older than 10 years of age and I do not want to marry them off to those Mujahideen. This fatwa was announced immediately after the end of the the Mujahideen Conference in Fallujah and Ramadi on 21/10/2004 and was widely approved of by religious and tribal leaders.

this maybe something that news didn't cover at that time, And maybe that was the last mass grave happened by that regime.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I just stocked at the house until night finally came, then I went out to have some fresh air, didn't know number of people being killed after that siege; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for the first time I criticized saddam in front of two other friends, that I didn't know them for only six days, I mean at the bad old days I have to know my friend for at least a six months then I start with slight joke at saddam, and see if he laughed from the bottom of his heart :P then only I can speak freely at saddam, the conversation didn't went well, one of them was talking with astonished how Iraq is now conquered by America, and if the Americans are going to kill us all, then I answered him Nooo, we were conquered by saddam and his family, and I wish there is a tank in front of my house tomorrow when I return to Baghdad to protect us from the Fedayeen…&lt;br /&gt;Then the other friend took me back to the house, and told me: man what are you talking about… you don't know who is his father…he is a big commander in intelligence of Dyala….duh!!!&lt;br /&gt;I slept that night, like I've never slept in my life, or maybe because bombing just stopped :P&lt;br /&gt;Then next morning we were setting up things to return to Baghdad again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is an Iraqi site : &lt;a href="http://9neesan.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.9neesan.com&lt;/a&gt;

finish the game from first half, and played with deferent lineup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2-Iraq played with no defense at the first half; don’t know where they were exactly.&lt;br

type='text'>Iraq Vs Australia</title><content type='html'>Iraq passed the Australian team after a hard match, and managed to qualify to the semi final, letting Iraq at one step from adding an Olympic medal to the lonely bronze medal we took at early sixties(can’t remember when exactly) at weightlifting;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq played very well at the first half, we had possession over the ball more than Australia, and this half ended 0-0&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second half the Iraqi players lost concentration, and played a defensive tactic, Noor Sabri made the best save in the tournament after a lob ball from Alex, and managed to take the ball from the line of goal, then jumped again and saved another shoot from the same player, then the referee canceled the goal for an offside (was a horror movie :P)&lt;br /&gt;Then the game went on and on for the Australian until minute 63 EMAD MOHAMMED scored an awesome goal form a cycle kick and put Iraq on the lead :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/77/1489/400/1.4.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noor sabri saved Iraq from certain goals, Razzaq Farhan wasted an Iraqi goal, and the rest of the match was for well defended line of Iraq and the confident performance of goal keeper Noor Sabri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THANK YOU NOOOOOOOOOOR :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time the sky was really raining bullets, I wonder what will happen if we took the gold. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italy qualified with Iraq to the semi final after the winning against Mali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will have to wait for the match between S.Korea and Portugal to see the winner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GOOD LUCK IRAQ!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="yellow"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the goal of Emad

final.&lt;br /&gt;Since Iraq was already qualified Adnan Hammed the Iraqi coach decided to rest six of the first line squad; the fist half ended 0-0, at the second half minute 63 Salih Sadeer scored the first Iraqi goal, then morocco draw min.69 from a penalty kick and then managed to take the lead at min. 73.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Costa Rica joined Iraq to quarter final after a surprise wining against Portugal 4-2, they scored there forth goal at min 90, and taking the seat from morocco to join Iraq to the next round by goal advantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soccer is crazy that’s why we love it :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The table will be like this &lt;br /&gt;1-Iraq        7  3  +4  6&lt;br /&gt;2-Costa Rica  4  4  0   4&lt;br /&gt;3-Moroco      3  3  0   4&lt;br

type='text'>Muqtada...</title><content type='html'>I just received a wonderful e-mail from US citizen today, talking about my blog and how it is great like me :P &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These e-mails really make my day :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I quote this from the e-mail hope he (she) don’t mind &lt;font color="yellow"&gt;“…Do you know that the American soldiers who have to fight in the Holy Cemetery are having a tough time of it, because we are not used to disrespecting the dead?  They told a journalist last week that they look at the cemetery plots and see pictures of the people buried there; and say they aren’t supposed to be there to fight anymore, but to help rebuild.  But we can’t let people run wild in the streets whenever they want, holding people hostage with guns and their own rules……that is not civilized, and that is not true freedom; that is lawlessness; why don’t a lot your citizens understand this? Or don’t they want to?  Please help us to understand.”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.iraqoftomorrow.org/images/general1/us_soldiers_patrol_the_najaf_cemetery.jpg"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was really something touching and noble, it made me feel more relief after reading it, and I wish I had the answer for it, since this cemetery is holy place for Shia, my grandfather and my whole family buried there, i think the biggest cemetry in the world; and The place where Muqtada took to hide in, WHY!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest news is Muqtada refused today to negotiate with Iraqi assembly delegation, leaving the government with no chance except to break in to the Imam Ali shrine, the National Iraqi guards are preparing them self for the operation.&lt;br /&gt;If this operation were really meant to occur today, am just praying for minimum casualties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7715254-109283159433782930?l=iraqi4ever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iraqi4ever.blogspot.com/feeds/109283159433782930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7715254&amp;postID=109283159433782930' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7715254/posts/default/109283159433782930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7715254/posts/default/109283159433782930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iraqi4ever.blogspot.com/2004/08/muqtada.html' title='Muqtada...'/><author><name>Ferid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14708503176932380211</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715254.post-109260023514703292</id><published>2004-08-16T00:02:00.000+04:00</published><updated>2004-08-16T10:31:01.346+04:00</updated><title type='text'>Iraq made it and qualified to the quarter final :) </title><content type='html'>Iraq continued its outstanding performance and won against Costa Rica, 2-0&lt;br /&gt;First half ended 0-0 with few chances for both teams, as the second half started the Costa Rican pressed and they had some dangerous chances in front of the goal until minute 67 came, and the great Kurdish player scored a wonderful goal;

leaving at least 20 dead, I’ve heard the news from the people at street and they were really angry at that time they were accusing saddam loyalists and Al-Qaeda, I had a brief chatting with a police man and he told me with sarcasm “we heard that killing 10 shia let the person go to heaven, but never heard of killing Christians too !”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img

were accusing Israeli mosad and even the Americans, this really sucks, I wonder when we finally get rid of these stupid conspiracies ideas, coz those terrorists are getting even with this kind of

type='text'>SAD DAY FOR IRAQI FANS :(</title><content type='html'>Iraqi's journey during the tournament stopped today after a wide defeat against china 3 goals to none, our team sucked today especially during the first half when the defenders depended allot on the offside trap to catch the chine’s strikers, the first goal was a mistake from haider abid al ameer trying to let H D HOW  fall in the offside trap, letting him alone with the goal keeper Ahmed Ali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the second half our team entered the match with new spirit and the coach adnan hamed made successful substitution letting Salih sadir the talented player to enter, then Ahmed Salah who had some chances in front of the goal, but the players was soooo nervous and they some times played some dirty games, I don't know who to blame them or the referee who gave 2 penalties, the first one even the camera man didn’t dare to replay it, or the second one with ahmed ali stupidity,&lt;br /&gt;The best part of the match when Nashaat akram dressed as goal keeper trying to save the third penalty :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway that was my opinion of the match and I’ll try uploading some images here soon,&lt;br /&gt;Waiting for our team in the next Olympic tournament and hope not to see our players again playing with this mood and keep them self as calm as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

soldiers and the monsters by the way no one is with you in this game!&lt;br /&gt;You may surprise with invisible monsters along the game you can’t see them unless you wear infra red goggles.&lt;br
