Al-Anbar Province.
Al-Qa’im.
American massacre in al-Qa’im. US warplane drops 500-pound bomb on children’s clinic. Fifty civilians killed, half of them women and children.
In a dispatch posted at 3:50pm Mecca time Tuesday afternoon, the al-Qa’im correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while before, US warplanes bombed a children’s health care center and neighboring houses in the as-Salman area in the west of the city of al-Qa’im, located near the Syrian border in western Iraq.
The correspondent reported witnesses as saying that the American aircraft targeted civilian houses and the children’s health care center in the as-Salman area with massive 500-pound bombs. The clinic was completely destroyed as were four nearby homes.
Some 50 local residents, all of them civilian, among them 25 women and children, perished in the savage air raid. At the time of writing, most of the victims were still buried under the rubble.
Dr. Salman al-Kubaysi of al-Qa’im General Hospital told the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent that the hospital had already taken in more than 35 bodies of victims, among them 17 children and eight women in addition to six people with severe injuries.
Resistance shoots down US Black Hawk helicopter Tuesday afternoon.
In a bulletin posted at 3:20pm Mecca time Tuesday afternoon, the al-Qa’im correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while before Iraqi Resistance forces had shot down a US Black Hawk helicopter over the village of Sa‘dah near the Syrian border.
Eyewitnesses said that they say the American aircraft, a fire burning in the front of the ship, plunge rapidly to earth. As the correspondent approached the area where the helicopter crashed, he observed large numbers of US armored vehicles and tanks encircling the area. A fierce fire was raging in the village wheat fields there.
Three US Marines reported killed in nighttime Resistance ambush near Syrian border.
Iraqi Resistance forces ambushed a joint patrol of US and Iraqi puppet army troops west of the city of al-Qa’im on the border with Syria at about 12:30am local time just after midnight Tuesday morning.

Colonel al-Asadi denied that any members of the patrol had been captured, but admitted that the Resistance fighters were able to withdraw from the area after the attack.
Ar-Ramadi.
Resistance fighters battle US Marines in north of ar-Ramadi Tuesday morning.
In a bulletin posted at 10:40am Mecca time Tuesday morning, the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in ar-Ramadi reported that at that moment Iraqi Resistance fighters were engaged in fierce battles with US Marines in the al-Bu Farraj area to the north of the city.
The correspondent reported eye witnesses as saying that the Resistance fighters had totally destroyed four US armored vehicles during the fighting. The witnesses said that Resistance fighters and Marines were at that moment engaged in very close combat.
A source in the local weather bureau ﾐ around the offices of which the fighting was raging ﾐ told Mafkarat al-Islam that four Humvees had been totally destroyed and that US helicopters had been unable to land or even hover at low altitude near the battle zone because of the intensity of gunfire.
Al-Fallujah.
Following four days under strict curfew and blockade US relaxes restrictions following two days of punishing Resistance strikes on American positions.
After being blockaded and under strict curfew for four consecutive days, the town of ‘Amiriyat al-Fallujah, a suburb just south of al-Fallujah city, 50km west of Baghdad, has been partially released.
In a dispatch posted at 8:45pm Mecca time Tuesday night, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in ‘Amiriyat al-Fallujah reported that the US occupation forces lifted the curfew from the area and allowed people to enter and leave the town between the hours of 6am and 10pm local time. All people coming and going will still be subject to thorough searches, however.
The relaxation of the blockade followed two days of heavy Iraqi Resistance attacks on places where US troops were deployed outside the ‘Amiriyat al-Fallujah housing complex. On Monday Resistance forces fired fifteen 82mm mortar rounds into concentrations of US troops around the housing complex and also unleashed three powerful Grad missiles on the American soldiers.
Then at 1pm local time Tuesday, the Resistance bombarded the same American positions with ten 82mm mortar rounds, witnesses who were near the scene of the attack reported that a US checkpoint was hit and two Humvees damaged. After the barrage, US aircraft prowled the skies over the area.
Al-Baghdadi.
Resistance bombards US ‘Ayn al-Asad base early Tuesday.
Iraqi Resistance forces fired two Katyusha rockets into the US ‘Ayn al-Asad base in the al-Baghdadi area of western Iraq at 8am local time Tuesday morning.
Residents of al-Baghdadi told the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent that explosions shook the base after the rocket attack.
Abu Ghurayb.
Three US troops reported killed in rural bombing early Tuesday.
An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US patrol in the Khan Darri area west of Abu Ghurayb (which is 30km west of Baghdad) at 8:30am Tuesday morning.
Owners of groves in Khan Darri told the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam that a bomb that was planted in the middle of an unpaved farm road in Khan Darri exploded as the patrol of five Humvees passed over it. The blast completely destroyed one of the Humvees, killing three US troops and seriously wounding a fourth.
Baghdad.
Mufti of Iraq, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Karim al-Mudarris, dies under house arrest, aged 110.
The Mufti (Islamic Jurisconsult) for Iraq, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Karim al-Mudarris, died on Tuesday. Shaykh al-Mudarris, 110 years old, had been under house arrest on orders of the US occupation and its local puppet regime for two years.
The US occupation forces surrounded Shaykh al-Mudarris’s school, located in a venerable building in Baghdad that was built in the medieval Abbasid dynasty, after he issued a fatwa (Islamic legal ruling) on 14 April 2003 proclaiming a united jihad against the invaders and permitting women to take part in the fighting under certain conditions.
Shaykh al-Mudarris was the first Iraqi religious leader to reject the call issued by Usamah bin Ladin to confer supreme leadership of the Resistance in Iraq on one man (presumably a representative of Bin Ladin). Shaykh al-Mudarris held that any such action would weaken the cause, and called instead on all contingents and groups in the Iraqi Resistance to take the example of the Prophet Muhammad as their leader rather than any single earthly commander.
There were numerous attempts on the life of Shaykh al-Mudarris, said to have been plotted by Shi‘i sectarian extremists who back the American occupation. But all such attempts were thwarted by the population, the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported.
Resistance assassinates official in “Oil of the North” Company late Monday.
A source in the Iraqi puppet police said on Tuesday morning that Iraqi Resistance fighters had killed a security official in the Oil of the North company along with a companion who was traveling with him. Reuters, as monitored by Mafkarat al-Islam, reported that the assassination took place on Monday evening.
US embassy in Cairo reportedly pressuring Egypt’s al-Azhar University to send “moderate” religious scholars to Iraq.
The Egyptian liberal publication Nahdat Misr reported in its issue for 29 August 2005 that informed sources among the scholars in the al-Azhar University report that the US embassy in Cairo is making intensive contacts with Dr. Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi, the Shaykh of al-Azhar, to try to push him into sending religious scholars, preachers, and teachers from the venerable Egyptian Islamic institution to Iraq. The pressure on Tantawi is viewed as part of the American effort to create Islamic institutions in Iraq that support the American occupation and its hegemony in the region.
Nahdat Misr reported that Shaykh Tantawi has so far been hesitant to accede to the American requests.
Former Deputy Foreign Minister of Egypt, Dr. ‘Abdallah al-Ash‘al, told Nahdat Misr that the American pressure campaign is aimed at dragging Egypt into its quagmire in Iraq after Washington had failed to convince Cairo and the other Arab states to send troops to serve the US occupation of that fraternal Arab country.
More evidence of US pressure on al-Azhar appeared in the Egyptian Misr al-‘Arabiyah website, as monitored by Mafkarat al-Islam on Tuesday. It reported that the US ambassador to Egypt had met with the al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies and leveled sharp criticism at al-Azhar, reportedly calling it a source of what he termed “terrorism.” The American envoy reportedly said that the time had come to review several religious and university institutions in Egypt and called on the Egyptian government to reform its educational system in line with the so-called “American plan.” Various opposition forces in Egypt have criticized the government’s acceptance of the American plan for revamping education in conformity with which the Ministry of Education has sent a number of officials to Washington for training courses and curriculum preparation.
Babil Province.
Al-Iskandariyah.
Double bombing strikes US column south of Baghdad Tuesday afternoon.

After the explosion, US forces closed the roads and gathered the wreckage of the Humvee and the body parts of the dead soldiers. As they were leaving the area headed towards their base in al-Musayyib at 3pm local time a second bomb exploded, setting another Humvee on fire.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that US aircraft were still prowling the skies and American ground forces still had the roads closed around the area of the second blast at the time he filed his report, posted at 11:25pm Mecca time Tuesday night.
