4 U.S. Soldiers Killed, Iraqi Group Vows Resistance
An American military vehicle destroyed in attack by Iraqi fighters
BAGHDAD, July 22 (IslamOnine.net & News Agencies) -- Four U.S. soldiers were reportedly killed and two others injured Tuesday, July 22, in two separate attacks in northern and central Iraq, a day after an Iraqi resistance group called for Jihad against the U.S.-led occupation, threatening the occupation troops and their Iraqi collaborators with relentless attacks.
One U.S. soldier was killed and another wounded when their vehicle came under attack by a rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire in an ambush on the road between Balad and Ramadi, 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of Baghdad, Agence France-Presse (AFP) quoted the U.S. Central Command as saying.
The soldiers from the U.S. Army's 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment were evacuated to the 28th Combat Support Hospital , Centcom said.
Aljazeera satellite channel further reported that three U.S. soldiers were killed and another wounded in al-Falah district in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Tuesday.
The channel correspondent said up to 50 U.S. armored vehicles surrounded a house in the district, believing that the two sons of the ousted Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, Udayi and Qusai, were holing up there.
U.S. troops arrested the house's owner, Sheikh Nawaaf Zidan, his wife and 19-year-old son as U.S. jet fighters reduced it to rubble.
The occupation forces also cordoned off the district and did not allow anyone in or out.
The attacks take to 42 the number of U.S. troops killed in action since an end to major combat operations in Iraq was declared on May 1, and to 153 troops killed in combat during the entire Iraq campaign, according to Aljazeera and an AFP accounts.
On Monday, July 21, three U.S. soldiers were killed and troops stationed at Ibn Firnas airport, north of Baghdad , came under a five-hour mortar attack from a group of the Iraqi resistance.
Resistance Unabated
"We will kill the spies and those who deal with them ... We will kill any soldier sent by an Arab or foreign country to our land," vowed Iraqi fighters
In a related development, an Iraqi resistance group called Saraya al-Jihad (Jihad Brigades) called for a guerrilla war against U.S. troops and for the killing of Iraqis who collaborate with the occupiers.
"We will kill the spies and traitors collaborating with the Americans," said a statement read by five armed hooded men sitting on the floor with a small portrait of Saddam on a wall behind them.
In a video aired by Aljazeera Monday, they urged Iraqis not to deal with the "traitors," a reference to U.S.-appointed Iraqi officials such as members of the newly-unveiled Governing Council.
"We ask our people: what are you doing about the killing of women, children and elderly men? ... We will avenge them and we will make the ground shake under the feet of those who killed them," said the men, who took turns reading from a sheet.
"We want to say that we will sacrifice ourselves for our religion and country ... Liberate Iraq through guerrilla warfare," they averred.
"We will kill the spies and those who deal with them ... We will kill any soldier sent by an Arab or foreign country to our land," vowed one of the speakers.
