NYTimes: "Attacks in Iraq Kill at Least 33" -- two different versions:

1st) "BAGHDAD (AP) -- Bombings and shootings killed at least 33 people in Baghdad and surrounding areas on Monday, including a group of high school students on a bus headed for final exams, as violence intensified before a planned withdrawal next week of U.S. troops from urban areas. (snip)

Starting June 30, most of the 133,000 American troops left here will be housed in large bases outside the capital and other cities -- unable to react unless called on for help. The withdrawal is part of an agreement under which all U.S. troops are to leave Iraq by the end of 2011."

2nd)
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Bombings and shootings killed more than 30 people across Iraq on Monday, including high school students on their way to final exams, part of a new round of violence ahead of next week's deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from urban areas.

The attacks pushed the three-day Iraqi death toll over 100, shattering a recent lull and adding fresh doubt to the ability of government forces to protect people without U.S. soldiers by their sides. American combat troops have already begun moving from inner-city outposts to large bases outside Baghdad and other cities.

Overall levels of violence remain low, but Iraqi officials have warned that militants will likely carry out more attacks to erode public confidence in the government as the Americans pull out of cities by June 30 -- the first step toward a full withdrawal from the country by the end of 2011.

"There aren't enough Iraqi army and police and they're ill-equipped to confront the terrorists," said Abdul-Salam Mohammed, a 33-year-old car dealer in the former insurgent stronghold of Baqouba, north of Baghdad. "The pullout is not in our interest at this moment because we are still in the recovery phase and not yet cured."

33 and September 11

3 planes crashed into 3 buildings. 3-3.

233 passengers died on the four 9/11 planes, according to BBC. 266 total people died on the planes (66 divided by 2 = 33). 33 crew members died on the four planes according to the 9/11 commission (also here).

The tail number of flight 11 was N334AA.

Extensive number of 33's in this account of the flight 11 crash, and note DAL2433 was one of the flights that noted an early ELT.

Lead hijacker Mohamed Atta was 33 when he officially died in the attacks.

Flight 93 had 33 passengers (not including hijackers).

Fire engine 331 one of the first to the Pentagon.

Firefighter Kevin Shea, who survived the South tower destruction, was 1st Rotation on Engine 331.

William Rodriguez climbs to 33rd floor of WTC1 to hear "strange noises" on then 34th floor.

William Rodriguez saved Felipe David after an explosion at the basement of the world trade center on 9/11. Felipe survived with 33% of his body burned.


Video of Barry Jennings made for Alex Jones and the Loose Change crew
. Just as Jennings says he worked for the NYC Housing Authority for "33 years" a firetruck is shown going by with a 133 on the engine number. See screen capture here:

Victim's Compensation Fund-- Kenneth Feinberg was appointed by Attorney General John Ashcroft to be Special Master of the fund. He worked for 33 months pro bono.

DNA tests on 9/11 remains: "The 1,401 people identified include 45 of those aboard the hijacked planes - 33 from Flight 11, which struck the north tower, and 12 from Flight 175, which hit the south tower."

Outer wall of the WTC built of subunits with a 3-3 motif.

Pentagon hit at spot 33 feet above sea level.

AE-911-Truth says WTC7 would have been the tallest building in 33 states.

Flight 175 was 33% full. Also, it reached cruising altitude at 8:33 am.

The ridiculous C-130H plane, called Gofer 06, that witnessed supposedly both flight 77 and flight 93 crashes, was from the 133rd airlift wing of the Minnesota Air National Guard. Nice also that the C-130H has a cruise-speed of 336 mph. Also-- Gofer 06 took off from Andrews Air Force Base at 9:33 am.

33 days before 9/11, Gary Condit, sharks and other nonsense in the news.

33 and the Official Anthrax Suspect Bruce Ivins

Example 1. "He was married to Diane Ivins for 33 years"

Example 2. "These politically convenient diagnoses had not prevented the 62-year-old Ivins from enjoying a distinguished 33 year career with the Department of the Army." (The wiki biography says his career with the military was 18 years. Is this Green essay using the 33 years as a clue to disinfo-- or did they get this from another bogus source?)


Example 3. Ivins had just been immunized against anthrax. .... In his career he had probably received about 33 separate anthrax vaccinations.


Example 4. The whole series of NPR articles on Ivins all have the 33 in the URL:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93374304
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93333658

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93305949
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93329953

They even have a 9 in there too, which like the 9 in 9/11, can be a version of 33-- 3 x 3 = 9

In several NPR articles on other topics that I checked, there is no 33 in the URL, so this was not a standard URL number for them.
