Al-Anbar Province.
Al-Q’aim.
In a dispatch posted at 9:55am Thursday morning Mecca time, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that after failing on Wednesday night to storm the besieged city of al-Qa’im from four directions, US forces used loudspeakers on Thursday morning to demand tribal chiefs and some notables of the city to open negotiations with them at noon about the situation in the city.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in the city reported that the Resistance called the tribal chiefs and notables to a meeting to discuss the American request.
Resistance sets conditions for talks with US over al-Qa’im as America admits it failed to take the city Wednesday night
In a dispatch posted at 7:35pm Thursday night, Mecca time, Mafkarat al-Islam reported from al-Qa’im that the US military recognized that it had failed on Wednesday to take the liberated city by storm. The American failure came despite a grueling day of fighting, first in the morning hours and then for three hours in the evening as American troops, 400 tanks, artillery, helicopters, and warplanes blasted and assaulted the city from four directions at once. The Resistance held out and repulsed the sweeping American assault of Marines and Commandos and in the end the US forces retreated beyond the limits of the city environs.
On Thursday Mafkarat al-Islam quoted a US major who said his name was “Steve Allen” of the Marines who said that they had not been able to take the city the night before due to the defiance and ferocity of the Resistance ミ whom he referred to as “gunmen” ミ and their determination in the fight. The American officer said that the US pulled its forces back “in the interests of the Iraqi civilians,” although no such humanitarian considerations entered Americans’ heads when they blew up the city’s water and food supply and when American snipers shot dead women and children trying to get water from the Euphrates River.
The Resistance on Thursday blasted concentrations of US troops outside the city with 32 various types of rockets ミ Katyusha, Grad, powerful Tariq missiles, and heavy motar rounds. The bombardment scattered the Americans’ lines to the north and east of al-Qa’im.
Meanwhile, a meeting of the Resistance in the city produced an agreement on a set of proposals that they would offer to the Americans as the basis of negotiations ミ in answer to the US call for talks made early in the morning. The Resistance agreed to hold talks with the Americans but on the basis of specific preconditions, namely:
1. US forces must withdraw six kilometers from the boundaries of al-Qa’im during the talks,
2. US fighter planes must stop overflights above the city,
3. The US must acknowledge the number of their men who were killed in the battles on Wednesday and Tuesday over all the radio stations,
4. The US must allow humanitarian organizations to bring food and medical supplies in to the residents of the city.
The correspondent reported that US forces had not responded to the demands of the Resistance as of the time that he filed his report. The city of al-Qa’im, therefore, remained in a state of relative calm ミ calm like a time bomb ミ as he put it, ready to explode whenever the Marines and Commandos decide to repeat their attack on the city.
Residents of the city expect that Resistance forces will take the initiative and attack concentrations of US troops before the latter attack al-Qa’im again.
Hit.
Resistance mounts two deadly barrages on US base in Hit early Thursday.
Iraqi Resistance forces mounted two rocket attacks on the US base in Hit Thursday morning, killing 18 US troops and wounding others.

The source added that the less than three hours later the US headquarters came under attack again when the Resistance fired more than 10 mortar rounds into the American-occupied installation. One shell blasted an ammunition dump within the camp, causing a large explosion. Eleven US troops were killed in that attack, the source said.

Al-Basrah Province.
Al-Basrah.
Death threats issued for propaganda chief of puppet guards in al-Basrah.
Leaflets appeared in the southern Iraqi city of al-Basrah Thursday morning threatening death to Firas at-Tamimi, the propaganda spokesman for the puppet so-called “Iraqi national guard” in al-Basrah. The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in the city reported that the threat was published in leaflets thrown into the streets of the city.
The threats, perhaps the first against commanders in the puppet “national guard,” followed statements at-Tamimi made after the puppet guard stormed the predominantly Sunni al-Ajbal district in al-Basrah on Sunday, 27 March 2005, in which he said that his forces had arrested four men whom he called “terrorists,” after raiding three houses. In fact, Mafkarat al-Islam reported, the puppet guard stormed 75 local houses and arrested 18 people.
At the time at-Tamimi said that his troops were carrying out an intentional campaign to defame the Sunni population, and his remarks were broadcast on some satellite networks, including the al-Hurrah propaganda network (which is based in Virginia, USA, but broadcasts in Iraq), and the so-called “al-‘Iraqiyun” network.
One of the aims of the Zionist-imperialist occupation of Iraq is the classic “divide and rule” imperial strategy. To facilitate this the Americans and their stooges seek to sow sectarian and ethnic discord in the country in order to try to produce only weak, feuding states in the Arab region that would be dependent on outside powers.
