Warning an IED was Placed here to Kill Travelers and Voters
Advertisements [?]
3000 signs with this message are being placed in voting pathways for Iraq voters and others to read as they approach the voting locations during the election. The sign informs people to please call a number if you see IED's or terrorist activity in each of the cities.

New Hope, MN (PRWEB) January 26, 2005 -- Insurgents have placed explosive devices to kill or scare people from voting and reduce the number of voters that participate in efforts to reestablish peace in their country. Each city has a special sign with special numbers to call the Iraq National Army for any terrorist activity or notice of IED's. During Iraq’s first democratic election on Jan 30,2005 these signs are used to inform people in Iraq that IED’s / Improvised Explosive Devices have been placed through out Iraq, to kill them while attempting to vote for a new leader of their country.

Attached is an image of the sign that was printed in the USA and sent to Iraq. Insurgents and terrorists are trying to scare and intimidate US Troops and Iraqi Voters by placing explosives/ IED's along the hi-way, walk ways and public locations during the Election. The sign has four skull bones in each corner and is written in Arabic, Kurdish and English. The warning sign is 24 inches by 24 inches printed both sides so incoming voters can read it from both directions
