Eleven US troops reported killed when car bomb blasts US troop carrier Wednesday afternoon.

An Iraqi Resistance car bomb exploded by a US column near the stone works in the town of al-Baghdadi, about 170km northwest of Baghdad, at about 3pm local time Wednesday afternoon.

The al-Baghdadi correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eye witnesses who saw the attack as saying that a Caprice taxi that was parked by the side of the main road leading into al-Baghdadi exploded by the passing American column.

The blast destroyed an American Zeal troop carrier, killing 11 American soldiers who were inside.

A US helicopter flew in to recover the bodies from the scene of the attack and they were airlifted to the so-called ‘Ayn al-Asad American base in al-Baghdadi. At the time of writing, the US military had made no announcement of the attack.

Al-Khalidiyah.

Three US troops reported killed in Resistance barrage on headquarters Wednesday afternoon.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported eye witnesses as saying that seven 120mm mortar rounds blasted into the US headquarters in al-Khalidiyah, east of ar-Ramadi. The barrage killed three US troops according to sources in the Iraqi puppet police.

Al-Fallujah.

Resistance bombards puppet “Order Protection Forces” headquarters in al-Fallujah.

Iraqi Resistance forces fired four 80mm mortar rounds into the headquarters of the puppet “Order Protection Forces” in al-Fallujah, 60km west of Baghdad at 9am local time Wednesday.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in al-Fallujah reported local residents as confirming that four mortar rounds blasted into the former as-Su’dud Primary School which has been taken over by the puppet security forces and turned into one of their headquarters.

The witnesses reported that the barrage killed four Iraqi puppet force troops and wounded three others who were taken afterwards to al-Fallujah General Hospital. US troops and Iraqi puppet army soldiers afterwards encircled the al-Jaghifi neighborhood and launched extremely wary foot patrols.

Four US soldiers reported killed in bombing in al-Fallujah early Wednesday morning.

An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US patrol in the al-‘Askari neighborhood of al-Fallujah in western Iraq at 7am local time Wednesday morning.

The al-Fallujah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported residents of the neighborhood as saying that a bomb that had been planted in a drain pipe blew up as the US patrol was passing by.

The explosion destroyed one Humvee, killing four US soldiers and wounding two more. The US troops afterwards closed all the roads leading to the neighborhood, which they encircled, prior to evacuating the bodies and the wounded.

In a dispatch posted at 11:15am Wednesday morning Mecca time, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance fighters shot down an unmanned US spy plane near the city of al-Qa’im in western Iraq near the Syrian border.

The al-Qa’im correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported witnesses as saying that a US reconnaissance plane was seen falling into a farm field in the Sa‘dah village area near al-Qa’im at dawn Wednesday.

The Iraqi Resistance announced its responsibility for the downing in a communiqu, a copy of which the correspondent for Mafakarat al-Islam obtained.

In a dispatch posted at 7:35pm Mecca time Wednesday evening, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in ar-Ramadi reported that a short while earlier US occupation troops arrested a correspondent for the Dubai-based al-‘Arabiyah satellite TV network in the city.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported that no further information was immediately available on the reasons for the arrest.

Baghdad.

Six American troops reported killed in Resistance car bombing in ad-Durah Wednesday afternoon.

An Iraqi Resistance fighter drove an explosives-packed car into a US military column on the highway linking the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah with Baghdad al-Jadidah at 2pm local time Wednesday afternoon.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in Baghdad reported sources in the Iraqi puppet police as saying that the Resistance fighter drove his car into the Ameican column as it proceeded along the highway near ad-Durah. The explosion left six American soldiers dead and three others wounded.

US forces encircled the attack zone after the explosions and American helicopters flew in and landed to evacuate the dead and wounded.

Three US troops reported killed in bombing in ad-Durah midday Wednesday.

In a dispatch posted at 1:15pm Mecca time Wednesday, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while before an Iraqi Resistance bomb had exploded on the ad-Durah highway that links the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah with Baghdad al-Jadidah.

Witnesses told the ad-Durah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam that a bomb exploded by a US patrol on the ad-Durah highway, destroying a Humvee and killing three US troops.

Immediately, US troops closed the highway in both directions and called in helicopters that landed and evacuated the bodies of the dead from the area.

Deputy “interior minister” assassinated in al-A‘zamiyah Wednesday afternoon.

In a dispatch posted at 3:45pm Mecca time Wednesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that it had been reported that Iraqi Resistance fighters in the Baghdad district of al-A‘zamiyah had attacked the motorcade of the “Deputy Minister of the Interior” in the US-installed Iraqi “government” as it was returning from an inspection trip to view the aftermath of the bombing in al-Kazimiyah that left 117 people dead and more than 140 others wounded.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in Baghdad reported that sources in the Iraqi puppet police had said that the “Deputy Minister” ﾐ one of three “deputy ministers of the interior” was killed along with six of his companions in the ambush.

At the time of reporting, US forces continued to encircle the area where the attack occurred with an unusually large force.

Iraqi Resistance car bomber blasts US military column in al-‘Amiriyah Wednesday afternoon.

In a bulletin posted at 3:35pm Mecca time Wednesday afternoon, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in al-‘Amiriyah in Baghdad reported that an Iraqi Resistance fighter had just driven an explosives-laden car into a US military column at the entrance to al-‘Amal ash-Sha‘bi Street in the al-‘Amiriyah section of western Baghdad.

The correspondent reported witnesses as saying that the blast destroyed one American Humvee, killing a number of US troops.

At the time of reporting American soldiers had encircled the whole area and helicopters were flying in at low altitude.

Witnesses confirmed that one of the helicopters tried to land to evacuate the dead and wounded, but that a warning that bombs had been planted in the area prevented it from touching down. The main street in the area and the surrounding roads were completely blocked by US troops and Iraqi army puppet forces.

Resistance attacks on US and Iraqi puppet targets in Baghdad overshadowed by bombing in al-Kazimiyah that killed 117, most of whom reportedly worked on US military bases.

More than 11 car bombs and rocket attacks struck US and Iraqi puppet regime facilities and headquarters in Baghdad on Wednesday, Mafkarat al-Islam reported from the occupied Iraqi capital.

At the same time a large explosion ripped through the largely Shi‘i al-Kazimiyah area of northern Baghdad. A source in the Iraqi puppet “Ministry of Health told the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent that the number of casualties in the al-Kazimiyah blast had reached 117 killed and 140 wounded, most of them in serious condition.

The source told Mafkarat al-Islam that the attack targeted residents of the Shi‘i neighborhood, most of them construction workers, shopkeepers, and hawkers. Colonel Sa‘d as-Sa‘dun of the Iraqi puppet army told a press conference, attended by a correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam, that the US and Iraqi puppet military were incapable of stopping attacks and that they can do nothing more than watch as bystanders after such attacks.

For its part the Islamic fundamentalist organization al-Qa‘idah in the Land of the Two Rivers, which is led by the Jordanian Islamist Abu Mus‘ab az-Zarqawi, took responsibility for the al-Kazimiyah bombing in a statement distributed among a number of mosques, a copy of which was obtained by the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam. The al-Qa‘idah statement sought to justify its attack by asserting that the al-Kazimiyah district was a stronghold for the Shi‘i sectarian Badr Brigades.

Later on Wednesday evening, the Mafakrat al-Islam correspondent in Baghdad reported a source in the US-installed “government” Center for Criminal Research as saying that 90 percent of the dead in the al-Kazimiyah bombing had been day workers employed on bases of the US occupation forces in the Iraqi capital as well as construction and excavation workers and truckers who also worked for the American army.

The source, who asked not to be identified said that the place where the explosion took place was a daily gathering point for those workers, a place where US armored vehicles arrive regularly every day to take them to the American bases to work.

The source said that the US military had resorted to those workers after Asian contract workers fled Iraq out of fear of being kidnapped or killed by Resistance fighters.

Sunni Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq condemns al-Kazimiyah bombing.

In a statement posted on its website Wednesday evening, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq denounced the bombing attack in al-Kazimiyah as a “painful event that was unjustifiable regardless of the reasons or motivations that led to it.” The statement from the highest Sunni Muslim religious authority in occupied Iraq said that the US occupation and the puppet “Interim Government” bore responsibility for everything that takes place in the Iraqi arena.

The Sunni Muslim scholars said: “although we understand perfectly well that our children are being killed in Tall ‘Afar and other places by hateful sectarians, we realize at the same time that this government and its agencies that are carrying out a vicious international plan to destroy the country do not represent the aspirations of the people of Iraq and that the massacres that they have committed in Tall ‘Afar have thrown the doors wide open to this sort of act. The Association of Muslim Scholars sees this as a violation of the principles of the Holy Law which provides that just punishment can be meted out only to the person who commits a crime and retribution must be exacted from that person and none other. It is enough for us to note in this connection what God has said in the Qur’an: ‘No soul with its own burdens must be made to bear the burden of another.’ Qur’an 6:154”

For his part Dr. Harith ad-Darri, the General Secretary of the Association of Muslim Scholars denounced the military operations being carried out by the occupation forces, the “Interim Government,” and other shadowy groups against cities in the west of Iraq. Ash-Shaykh ad-Darri made the remarks at a memorial service for the late Mufti of Iraq ‘Abd al-Karim al-Mudarris. Shaykh ad-Darri said: “We condemn all the criminal acts committed against the innocent people of our country who are being targeted by many shadowy forces. These bombings and the acts of revenge, the raids, the abductions of dozens to places unknown where they are butchered, this is all precisely the same criminal activity. We call on our people to take a stand against this social subversion (al-fitnah) wherever it comes from, whoever its targets are for all of it serves the interests of our enemies.”

‘Ali as-Sistani issues fatwa calling on Iraq to boycott Arab states, rather than “Israel.”

Pro-American Shi‘i clerical authority ‘Ali as-Sistani issued a fatwa (religious legal ruling) on Wednesday in which he called on the US-installed Iraqi “government” to impose an economic and political boycott on the Arab countries neighboring Iraq.

The Mafakrat al-Islam correspondent in Baghdad who obtained a copy of as-Sistani’s fatwa, indicated that as-Sistani, himself a citizen of the non-Arab country of Iran, denounced Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria as “countries that claim to be Arab.”

In the document the Iranian-born cleric based his boycott call on the grounds that the neighboring countries of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria supposedly were “exporting” what he called “terror and terrorists” into occupied Iraq “to kill Iraqis, in particular the Shi‘ah.” The correspondent noted that the fatwa was written in the form of an order to the members and personnel of the US-installed Iraqi “government.”

The pro-American cleric’s fatwa read in part: “the Wahhabis who denounce others as infidels and the followers and supporters of the infidel Saddam are continuing their series of genocidal attacks on the Shi‘ah supporters of the hereditary dynasty of the Prophet Muhammad, and those countries that claim to follow Islam and to be Arab continue to export terror and terrorists to Iraq to kill more of the people here. Therefore we call on our sons and brother Believers the members of the government and the merchants to boycott those countries that export terror to us without compassion or mercy.”

As-Sistani went on to say, “We consider those countries Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria to be the first countries that we should subject to economic boycott, so let no commercial contracts be concluded between them and us, nor any agreements until after they stop exporting their death to us.”

By saying that those Arab states were the “first” countries that Iraq should boycott, as-Sistani was alluding to the Arab boycott of “Israel” to which Iraq has traditionally adhered, saying that the boycott of that state was relatively unimportant.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent noted in that the Iraqi Agency for Measurement and Quality Control announced in August that more than 10,000 types of Zionist commodities had entered Iraq and were being traded by the population, including food items, electrical appliances, household appliances, and construction materials, and that these goods have adversely affected local Iraqi industries significantly in recent months. Despite that fact, the Shi‘i clerical authority as-Sistani issued no fatwa banning such economic penetration, but contented himself with a call on the government not to allow such goods into Iraq. The correspondent asserted that distributors of Zionist goods in Iraq were at times among as-Sistani’s followers.

Four US troops reported killed in Resistance bombing in eastern Baghdad midday Wednesday.

In a dispatch posted at 1:10pm Mecca time Wednesday, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while before an Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US patrol on the Canal Road (Tariq al-Qanat) in the east of Baghdad.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported witnesses as saying that a bomb exploded by the US patrol as it proceeded along the al-Qanat Highway. The blast totally destroyed a Humvee, killing four American soldiers and wounding another five.

The correspondent reported that US troops afterwards closed the road and encircled the area and evacuated the bodies and the wounded, creating a huge traffic jam.

Seven US troops reported killed in Iraqi Resistance bombing in at-Taji Wednesday morning.

An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US military column in the northern Baghdad suburb of at-Taji at 8:30am local time Wednesday morning.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in at-Taji reported that a bomb that had been planted by the main road in the Hur al-Basha area blew up as a US column was passing by. The explosion destroyed one American Zeal troop carrier, killing seven US troops and wounding another three American soldiers.

After the blast US forces encircled the whole area, closing all the roads leading in or out as they called in helicopters to transport the dead and wounded. Other American troops meanwhile launched a campaign of raids on near-by houses, accusing the householders of planting the bombs. Four local people were arrested on charges of being “suspects” in the bomb attack.

Three US soldiers reported killed in morning bombing in Khan Darri area.

An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US patrol in the an-Nasr wa-as-Salam neighborhood of Khan Darri west of Baghdad at 8am local time Wednesday morning.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in the area reported a source in the Iraqi puppet police as saying that a bomb that was planted in the middle of the main road blew up as the US patrol passed by, destroying one US Humvee and killing three American soldiers.

After the blast, US forces closed the main road and encircled the area as they evacuated the bodies.

Four US troops reported killed in late-morning bombing in Samarra’.

Diyala Province.

Ba‘qubah.

Resistance rockets US headquarters in Ba‘qubah.

In a dispatch posted at 4:35pm Mecca time Wednesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance forces fired five Katyusha rockets into the US headquarters in the al-Kharnabat area of Ba‘qubah, northeast of Baghdad.

The Ba ‘qubah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported witnesses as saying that the barrage sent tongues of flame rising into the sky above the US-occupied facility as the sound of explosions resounded inside the base.

No information on the nature or extent of casualties was available due to the security cordon that the US had set up around the headquarters.

Ninwa Province.

Tall ‘Afar.

US makes offer to Iraqi Resistance in Tall ‘Afar after American offensive bogs down.

In a dispatch posted at 4:25pm Mecca time Wednesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the US occupation forces that control a number of neighborhoods in the northern Iraqi city of Tall ‘Afar issued a statement directed at the Iraqi Resistance fighters in which they made an offer whereby the Resistance fighters would be allowed to leave the city without a fight in return for an end to combat and an announcement that the US military was in complete control of the city.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Tall ‘Afar wrote that at that moment he could hear the giant American loudspeakers mounted on armored vehicles broadcasting the announcement: “To all the gunmen . . . The Joint American-Iraqi Command has agreed to make you an offer, namely for you to go out of the city before nightfall, leaving it completely free of any signs of armament in return for a cessation of fighting and permission to the Iraqi Security forces and the Marines to enter Tall ‘Afar.”

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent noted that the American proposal did not include the usual American language of threats and intimidation to which the Resistance fighters are accustomed. It was, rather, a call for negotiations, inasmuch as the American announcement also said, “We await a representative from you who will deliver your response, whether that be acceptance or rejection.”

The reason for the American offer, according to the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent is that the US occupation forces had until Thursday to clear all the so-called “terrorists” ﾐ meaning Resistance fighters ﾐ out of Tall ‘Afar. But at the present time more than 55 percent of the city was not under American control.

The correspondent estimated that the US forces would require at least another month of fighting during which the Resistance would be cut off from supplies before they could seize the rest of the city.

Mosul.

Four US troops reported killed in bomb attack on US column Wednesday afternoon.

An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US military column in Mosul at 4pm local time Wednesday afternoon.

The Mosul correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eye witnesses who saw the attack as saying that a bomb that had bee planted by the side of a road in the al-Iskan neighborhood in the city blew up as a column of US troops were passing by. The blast destroyed one Humvee, killing four American troops.

After the attack, US forces launched a wave or raids of houses in the neighborhood, arresting four people they considered “suspects” as other American troops kept the neighborhood surrounded.

At-Ta’mim Province.

Kirkuk.

Three US troops reported killed in Kirkuk bombing Wednesday afternoon.

An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a joint US-Iraqi puppet army patrol in Kirkuk at 5pm local time Wednesday afternoon.

The Kirkuk correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a Resistance bomb went off by a joint patrol on Dumiz Street in the city, destroying a US Humvee and a vehicle belonging to the Iraqi puppet army. Three American soldiers and two Iraqi puppet army troops were killed in the blast.

After the attack, US forces closed the road and encircled the entire area as the bodies were evacuated.

Al-Basrah Province.

Al-Basrah.

Bomb blasts US consulate car near al-Basrah on Tuesday.

An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a car convoy from the US consulate in al-Basrah as it went through the Khur az-Zubayr area about 80km south of al-Basrah on Tuesday.

In a dispatch posted at 12:40pm Mecca time Wednesday, the al-Basrah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eye witnesses as saying that the blast destroyed one of the vehicles in the US consulate convoy and wounded two US soldiers.

The correspondent reported that this was the second such attack in two weeks. In the first attack, another car belonging to the US consulate was attacked in northern al-Basrah.

Campaign of sectarian arrests against Sunnis mounts in al-Basrah.

The campaign of raids and arrests launched two days ago after the end of the general strike called by Sunnis in al-Basrah for the release of prisoners has been escalating.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in al-Basrah reported that the demonstrations and general strike, and the call of the strikers to form their won “defesive army” to protect the Sunni population and its rights have shaken the occupation and its servitors in al-Basrah.

The puppet police forces have been arresting participants in the weekend rally.

The campaign of arrests has focused on az-Zubayr, a largely Sunni area 12km south of al-Basrah, where the police even raided the al-Hasan al-Basri religious school and arrested boys younger than 15. As usual women have been arrested in the hopes that their husbands, sons, or brothers will turn themselves in in exchange.

The correspondent reported that az-Zubayr lives in a state of fear as a result of the arrests, particularly as none of the satellite news stations are willing to cover the story.
