ﾊ

The Resistance group First Army of Muhammad issued a warning all Resistance groups that the battle was intended as a war of attrition by the US occupation forces aimed at wearing down the Resistance, killing off their men and exhausting their supplies and ammunition.ﾊ But the First Army of Muhammad went on to say, ﾒIn any case, however, we are fully aware of this issue and will behave accordingly.ﾓ
