Threat Game
The most common thing in Iraq nowadays is receiving threat letters, whether orally, by mobile or written.
And if you ask for reasons, there are tens known and unknown reasons, depending on the person himself who is receiving the threat.
but for the first time, I heard that it has become even a game for some teenagers to get some personal gains.
Salma is a widow with three kids, her husband killed in 2004 for being former Ba’athist at the front door of their house and she herself was injured too but she survived.
She thinks she still lucky because her husband bought her and their three kids a small house few months before his assassination to guarantee that the family will not be homeless.
The eldest son who is only 15 yr, is a real trouble maker, his main concern is to get money to buy cigarette, play games at internet cafes or spending it with his peers for trivial things.
The mother told me that she was so upset of him because of his carelessness that he quitted the school and he wanted her to get him money by any means.
She wanted him to join the police, I told her that it was very risky and he would be killed, she told me, “ This what I want I want him to die so that I can have some rest of his endless problems.”
But again to join the police, her son, Hassan, needed money to give to the police to accept him, so the mother had to get him money but when she got the money she had another problem which was Hassan age, he is not 18 yr, so she has to change his ID.
When she found a person at the ID department who accepted to do that, he asked her for huge amount of money that she could not afford and decided to leave the entire subject.
Few days ago, Salma found a letter at the front door, when she read it, it was a threat to her to leave the house immediately or she would be killed.
“ I could not stay for one moment there, and when I read it was signed by Bader brigade, I ran to my cousin who was a prisoner in Iran for 18 yr and got back as Bader brigade member to question him about that.” Salma said.
When Salma cousin read the letter, he told that if Bader brigade threatens a person, it does not put its name on the letter because they do not need to do that.
“ This letter must be from a person lives next to you and he sent it to frighten you, go and wait for few days.” Salma cousin told her.
Salma could not go to her house for few days in fear of killing but she needed to bring some stuff from the house, when she went there, one of her son’s friend approached her while she was moving some of the house articles.
The guy asked her why she was doing that, she told him that she received threat letter, the guy could not keep the secret and told her that her son, Hassan, himself wrote that letter to her because he wants to sell the house and buy a car.
