Ar-Ramadi.

Resistance bomb kills three US troops in ar-Ramadi, after American bomb detecting robot missed it.

An Iraqi Resistance roadside bomb exploded in the al-‘Ummal neighborhood of ar-Ramadi as a US column was passing at 10:40am Wednesday morning. Witnesses told Mafkarat al-Islam that the bomb exploded by a Humvee, killing three US troops and wounding one other seriously.

The correspondent wrote that US forces were using a new technique to deal with bombs, sending a robotic device ahead of the column to detect land mines. Apparently, however, it failed in this instance, since today there was a robot preceding the US column as it advanced towards the city but it did not detect the bomb. The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent wrote that the failure of the American robot was probably due to the Resistance using new and advanced methods for planting land mines and moveable bombs.

Al-Qa’im.

Brother and eyewitness tells the story: Resistance martyrdom fighter blows himself up killing four American troops in al-Qa’im Wednesday afternoon.

An Iraqi Resistance martyrdom fighter blew himself up amidst a group of US soldiers inside a government building in the city of al-Qa’im on the border with Syria Wednesday afternoon.

The correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam reported local eyewitnesses as saying that the attack occurred at 4pm Wednesday, local time and left four US troops dead and 10 more American soldiers lightly and moderately wounded.

Tuesday was a bloody day of fighting between US forces and the Iraqi Resistance but Wednesday began with the US forces announcing what they called an “amnesty for fighters and gunmen.” US forces offered sums of money to anyone who would hand in a weapon. US$1,000 was offered for anyone handing in an anti-tank rocket launcher, US$1,500 to anyone handing in a Strela rocket, US$500 or more to anyone handing in bombs or land mines, depending on the yield of the explosive.

The correspondent reported that the Americans also offered US$250 for any type of submachine gun that was handed in. US$100 was the price for a hand grenade. US$10,000 was the price for a mortar, particularly since the Resistance fires mortars at the US bases on a daily basis. The Americans also set specific prices for the ammunition for each of these weapons.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent noted that by setting such attractive prices for weapons, the Americans were trying to exploit the grinding poverty in which the local people of al-Qa’im live, particularly those who fight in the Resistance and their families.

The Americans opened a center for the handover of weapons inside a government building and they hoped that the townspeople would be rushing to take advantage of their “generous offer.”

But the Resistance had a surprise in store for the Americans. A martyrdom fighter wearing an explosive belt and armed with an RPG7 anti-tank rocket launcher stormed into the building, blew himself up, and killed four Americans in the process.

Later, at the Martyrs’ Cemetery in the center of al-Qa’im, the brother of the martyr spoke to the correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam. “My brother tricked the occupation troops into thinking that he was the first person to come in and sell his weapons. That’s how he got inside with them. I was watching. Then he blew himself up in front of the inside door to the building when US troops had gathered around him to examine the rocket launcher that he was carrying, or maybe they had doubts about him, I don’t know for sure.”

The brother of the martyr went on, “There were more than 10 troops gathered around him. Really, I don’t know how many of them died and how many were wounded. But I saw them all lying on the floor.”

The correspondent noted that this account was confirmed to him by a member of the local puppet police.

The martyr’s brother finished his story saying, “The American occupation forces left that building about three hours after the explosion, after they had loaded up their corpses and taken them away. They looked like little children, with their desperate steps. Then we rushed into the building to find my brother who had been blown into charred remains from his head to the bottom of his feet ﾐ except for his chest.” The martyr’s brother swore that his brother’s chest was uncut because he had learned the Qur’an by heart. “Praise be to God,” the brother told the correspondent, “my brother has been granted martyrdom. We are not like those other cowardly Iraqis who sold their arms ﾐ really their honor ﾐ to the infidel occupiers.”

The martyr’s brother told the correspondent that this was not the first such incident in his family. He had another brother who was a martyrdom fighter and gave his life in a martyrdom attack more than a year ago.

Baghdad.

Iraqi Resistance shoots down huge US Chinook helicopter west of Baghdad.

Iraqi Resistance forces shot down a US Chinook transport helicopter in the village of Jubbah north of the city of Hadithah, 17km west of Baghdad.

Witnesses in the village told Mafkarat al-Islam that the huge helicopter was flying over the village at a low altitude together with two Apache helicopters that were there to provided cover as it approached the base that the American invaders have named ‘Ayn al-Asad (known formerly as al-Qadisiyah).

As it passed over the village at 8:30am Resistance fighters in the al-Qal‘ah (Citadel) area fired a SAM7 missile at the Chinook, totally blowing it up and killing all aboard. The witnesses could not specify the number of casualties, but one village policeman told the correspondent that 30 US troops were killed in the attack and that four Resistance fighters who fired the rocket were killed when one of the Apache helicopters fired a rocket at the launcher used to fire the SAM7. Shaykh Abu Sayf of the Jihadi Brigades of the 1920 Revolution confirmed that fact when he told Mafkarat al-Islam: “The operation to shoot down the aircraft was done by us with a SAM& rocket and four of the fighters were killed in the operation.”

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam personally saw the wreckage of the helicopter and took eights shots of the craft and took four pictures of dead US soldiers lying on the ground 200 meters from where the helicopter crashed. But US occupation troops encircled the area and prohibited journalists from taking pictures. The troops seized the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent’s personal camera and took out its contents and then broke it. The American troops did the same thing to six journalists among them a photographer working for Agence France Presse (AFP).

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam added that the American soldiers threatened to arrest the French correspondent if he didn’t leave the area. When the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent left the area, six bodies of Americans were hanging in the tops of palm trees and floating in the Euphrates River. The Chinook helicopter is one of the most massive US helicopters, able to carry three vehicles.

Deadly Resistance car bombs target Australian official’s motorcade near the Australian embassy, puppet police station in Baghdad, other targets early Wednesday.

Mafkarat al-Islam reported that an Iraqi Resistance car bomb exploded by the Australian embassy in the al-Karradah area of Baghdad near the two-story bridge. Witnesses told Mafkarat al-Islam that the blast took place at 9:30am Wednesday and that the target was a motorcade that was bringing an official to work in the Australian embassy.

The blast destroyed two GMC command cars and disabled a third vehicle. Nine personal guards were killed in the attack, all of them guards of the targeted Australian official. The explosion was so powerful that it damaged neighboring houses as well. Three Iraqi puppet policemen who were on guard at the embassy were also killed.

The correspondent reported that so far there had been no word on whether the targeted Australian official had been killed or not.

Earlier, Reuters reported that an Iraqi Resistance car bomb exploded near the Australian embassy in Baghdad. Reuters said that puppet police sources and witnesses reported that an attacker driving an explosives-laden car approached the Australian embassy in downtown Baghdad and blew up, killing at least one person and wounding seven more.

Reuters later reported that the organization Base Qa‘idah of the Organization of Jihad in the Land of the Two Rivers run by Abu Mus‘ab az-Zarqawi had claimed responsibility for the bombing at the Australian embassy.

US-backed Baghdad regime suspected of cutting off water, food, electricity to try to force people to vote in sham “election.”

Baghdad residents greeted the Eid al-Adha holiday with rising anger against the US-installed puppet government, after passing several days without running water. Without warning the drinking water supply had been cut off a couple days earlier. Local people noted that a shut off of the water supply was unprecedented, something that did not even happen at the most critical times during the American war against their country.

The water shortage crisis was thus now added to the electricity shortage as one of the “services” provided by the American occupation regime, and many, particularly in Sunni areas, saw the crisis as a part of the ‘Allawi regime’s effort to force people to take part in the election farce planned for 30 January.

Haydar Shakir Mahmud, who owns a house with a well, told al-Quds al-‘Arabi newspaper that people have been flocking to visit him for three days now to ask for water. Like many Iraqis, Mahmud dug the well and put a small pump atop it shortly before the US aggression in spring 2003, fearful that the American attack might knock out the water supply.

Mahmud warns the people who get water from his well that it’s not drinkable, since it hasn’t been sterilized, and tells them to boil it before using it, or else they might contract diseases.

The puppet head of the Baghdad provincial assembly Muhammad Baqir as-Suhayl acknowledged that his department has received many complaints about the lack of water, saying that they are forwarded to the appropriate departments.

Many see the water shortage as an effort by the US-backed regime to force people to vote in the sham “elections” being pushed by the Americans for 30 January in an effort to throw a veneer of “democratic legitimacy” over their occupation.

Local residents were reported by Mafkarat al-Islam as saying that the US-installed regime had cut off electricity and water supplies to several places where there is a Sunni majority, as a “preliminary threat” in response to their refusal to take part in the election farce.

Residents told Mafkarat al-Islam that in addition, the regime had begun denying food ration cards to the populace who reject the sham “election.” They have stolen money and also carried out evictions of populations not going along with the farce.

In addition, US soldiers and puppet troops from time to time open fire randomly on houses, claiming that they are searching for “hidden ‘terrorists’,” and storm into people’s homes in the middle of the night.
