Ninwa Province.
Tall ‘Afar.
Interview with field commander in Tall ‘Afar, as the battle against the US attackers continues.
Contrary to reports in much of the western and Arab media, the Iraqi Resistance is still fighting in the northern city of Tall ‘Afar, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in the city reported on Monday.
The correspondent wrote that the Resistance is not only still in the city where it attacks the US and Iraqi puppet army troops from time to time, tu it remains in control of several neighborhoods, specifically the neighborhoods of ash-Shurtah, as-Saray, al-Mu‘allimin, and the area of the covered market. Altogether the parts of the city that the Resistance controls constitute 55 percent of Tall ‘Afar.
To demonstrate that the Resistance is still fighting in Tall ‘Afar the correspondent submitted the photographs accompanying his story (and posted on the internet at:
http://www.islammemo.cc/news/one_news.asp?IDNews=82172).
The correspondent reported that he had set out at 6am Monday morning and observed the Resistance fighters with their varied and modern weapons deployed in various areas of the city. The fighters gave him permission to take their pictures ミ after first covering their faces ミ so as to tell the world outside the city that the Resistance is still striking hard at US and puppet army forces inside the city.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent met the commander of one of the fighting Resistance detachments who went by the name of Abu Hatim. Asked about the claims made by the US-installed puppet regime that “dozens” of Resistance fighters had been killed and captured, Abu Hatim replied, “the total number of Resistance fighters who have fallen as martyrs is no more than 40 men. Most of them died under the bombs of the aircraft, and not in clashes between the occupation forces and ourselves.”
Abu Hatim said, though, that the regime’s claims about the number of Resistance fighters killed are more accurate than the claims about the number captured, since all the fighters have vowed to fight to the death and are prepared for that eventuality at any time.
As to the number of Americans and Iraqi puppet army troops killed in the fighting, Abu Hatim declared, “we killed 35 American soldiers just by picking them off with sniper fire, that’s to say nothing of how many we killed with our rockets and grenades, and the bombs that we planted on every street of the city.”
When the correspondent asked Abu Hatim’s opinion of the poor news coverage the Resistance had received, that left most of their successes unreported, Abu Hatim replied, “We don’t need them. We’ve filmed most of the battles and we’ll broadcast them soon. But we challenge them to bring even just one cameraman into the city and allow him to film their the Americans’ corpses and their wrecked vehicles in the city and then show that to the people. As to us, they reported that they’ve captured dozens and killed dozens of us. So let them show on the satellite TV news just one of those dead or captives, not even 10 of them, if they’re telling the truth.”
Asked how long the Resistance can continue to fight in the city, Abu Hatim replied, “God has facilitated some things that we weren’t expecting in this battle, so we’re going to stay and continue fighting in the city as long as God wills it. We’ll never turn our backs and flee, no way, by God!”
Heavy fighting breaks out Monday night in Tall ‘Afar.
In a dispatch posted at 9:20pm Mecca time Monday night, the Tall ‘Afar correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that at the time of writing intermittent but violent clashes were taking place in the center of Tall ‘Afar ミ specifically in the area of the market where Resistance fighters were battling US and Iraqi puppet army troops.
The correspondent reported that at the time of writing the Resistance was firing intense barrages of mortar rounds and pipe rockets into the US and Iraqi puppet army troops concentrated on the first of the main streets in the area. At the moment of reporting US and Iraqi puppet forces appeared to be retreating from the street. A Bradley armored vehicle with fire blazing out of its rear had apparently been hit by a shell as it turned to flee.
Meanwhile, the western side of the city was being heavily bombed by US warplanes according to information supplied by informed sources. The correspondent was unable to reach that area of the city to see for himself due to the intensity of the bombing and fighting.
Resistance blows up cigarette stand amidst gathering of Marines Monday night.
In a bulletin posted at 10pm Mecca time Monday night, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Tall ‘Afar reported that a short while earlier, the Iraqi Resistance had blown up a cigarette kiosk in the ash-Shurtah neighborhood of Tall ‘Afar in front of a gathering of US Marine foot soldiers. The correspondent who was close by was able to see a number of dead or wounded Marines as a US helicopter flew in to evacuate them.
This was the third incident in which the Resistance detonated a booby-trapped kiosk on US or Iraqi puppet troops in Tall ‘Afar.
In another story, US aircraft carried out new attacks on the mosques in the city. The Mafakrat al-Islam correspondent reported that after flattening the Muslim places of worship in the “city of minarets” al-Fallujah and then razing the mosques of al-Qa’im, US forces were now engaged in repeating the pattern in Tall ‘Afar.
The correspondent reported that US forces had bombarded the ‘Ammar ibn Yasir mosque. The correspondent said that the reason for the attack was that the loudspeakers on the minaret had been chanting “God is Greatest!” other messages and prayers of encouragement to the Resistance fighters, battling US troops in the city.
