Tuesday, 20 September 2005.
Al-Anbar Province.
Al-Fallujah.
US forces blockade ‘Amiriyat al-Fallujah impose curfew following rocket attack on US headquarters.
US forces sealed off and declared a curfew in ‘Amiriyat al-Fallujah, a southern suburb of al-Fallujah, some 60km west of Baghdad, at noon on Tuesday.
The ‘Amiriyat al-Fallujah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported US military vehicles with helicopter air support entered the town and took up positions as other American troops closed off the town, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
The correspondent reported that US forces declared a curfew without specifying any specific hours and refused to allow men or even children to step outside the front doors of their houses.
Local residents believe that the reason for the blockade and curfew imposed on the town was the rocket attack that the Resistance mounted on Monday night against the US forces’ headquarters in the town. That assault set fires and sent smoke rising over the American-occupied facility and two huge Chinook helicopters emblazoned with the Red Cross were seen landing in the base after the attack, presumably because of a large number of casualties.
Resistance ambushes joint US-Iraqi puppet army patrol Monday night.
Iraqi Resistance forces attacked a joint US-Iraqi puppet army patrol in the ad-Dubbat neighborhood of central al-Fallujah at about 9pm local time Monday night.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported residents of ad-Dubbat as saying that Resistance fighters armed with PKS and other machine guns attacked the joint patrol, killing one Iraqi puppet army soldier and wounding three more troops ミ two of them Americans. The witnesses said that all the Resistance fighters withdrew from the scene.
Al-Hadithah.
Resistance bombards US camp at al-Hadithah dam late Tuesday afternoon.
Iraqi Resistance forces three 82mm mortar rounds into the US military camp in the western Iraqi city of al-Hadithah at 5:30pm local time Tuesday afternoon.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in al-Hadithah reported that Resistance forces bombarded the US camp at the al-Hadithah dam. Witnesses said that three explosions rocked the camp and sent columns of smoke up into the sky.
Hit.
US soldier reported killed in bombing to the south of Hit Tuesday morning.
An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a joint US-Iraqi puppet army patrol in the industrial zone to the south of the city of Hit in western Iraq at 9:30am local time Tuesday morning.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported a member of the Iraqi puppet army as saying that a bomb that had been planted in the middle of a dirt road to the south of the industrial zone in the city blew up as the joint patrol passed over it.
The blast set one of the American vehicles on fire and damaged an Iraqi puppet army pickup. One American soldier was killed and two others wounded. One Iraqi puppet army soldier was also wounded.
Baghdad.
Resistance bomb blasts US patrol west of Baghdad late Tuesday afternoon.
An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US patrol on the road between the az-Zaydan and ar-Ridwaniyah areas west of Baghdad at 5:15pm local time Tuesday afternoon.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Abu Ghurayb reported residents of az-Zaydan as saying that a bomb that had been planted by the side of the road to ar-Ridwaniyah blew up as a patrol of several Humvees was passing by.
The explosion completely destroyed one vehicle, killing or wounding the five US troops aboard it.
Resistance bomb blasts US column in al-‘Amiriyah Tuesday afternoon.
An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded in the al-‘Amiriyah area of western Baghdad at 2:30pm local time Tuesday afternoon.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported residents of al-‘Amiriyah as saying that a bomb that was planted by al-Madayif Road in the middle of al-‘Amiriyah blew up as a column of several US Humvees passed by. The explosion set fire to one of the Humvees, killing or wounding four American troops aboard it.
Resistance ambushes US patrol in ad-Durah early Tuesday.
Iraqi Resistance fighters planned and carried out a violent ambush on a US patrol in the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah at 8:30am local time Tuesday morning.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported residents of ad-Durah who witnessed the attack as saying that the ambush began with the explosion of a bomb by a patrol of three US armored vehicles and three Humvees in the ‘Arab Jabbur area south of ad-Durah. The explosion disabled one of the American armored vehicles.
At that point Resistance fighters armed with light and medium weapons, including RPG7 rocket-propelled grenades, PKS machine guns, and rockets attacked the patrol, destroying another armored vehicle and a Humvee.
The attack killed five US troops and wounded about four more American soldiers. Residents of ‘Arab Jabbur who saw the attack said that three Resistance fighters were wounded in the engagement.
Faced with rejection by Iraqi Resistance movement, Az-Zarqawi, al-Qa‘idah backtrack from call for “war on the Shi‘ah”, issue new statement opposed to killing Shi‘ah opposed to US occupation.
Reeling from a total rejection by the Iraqi Resistance of his call for a “total war” on the Shi‘i population of Iraq, Jordanian Islamist Abu Mus‘ab az-Zarqawi and his al-Qa‘idah Organization in the Land of the Two Rivers issued a statement distributed around mosques in Baghdad on Tuesday in which an exception was made for the followers of the Shi‘i movements of Muqtada as-Sadr, Muhammad Mahdi al-Khalisi, and the Shi‘i religious authority Ahmad al-Hasani al-Baghdadi.
The statement, which reversed az-Zarqawi’s earlier call for sectarian warfare, now effectively affirmed the political rather than sectarian character of the struggle.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in Baghdad, who obtained a copy of the latest al-Qa‘idah statement, reported that the document made exceptions from the earlier “total war” proclamation for the movements of Muqtada as-Sadr, Muhammad Mahdi al-Khalisi and Ahmad al-Hasani al-Baghdadi ミ all Shi‘i religious leaders who reject the US occupation and oppose the puppet regime of American-installed “Prime Minister” Ibrahim al-Ja‘fari. The new document stated that the blood of Shi‘i followers of those movements was not to be shed because those leaders stand against the occupation and its stooges and because they take patriotic positions and have not stood against the Sunni people in Iraq.
The latest al-Qa‘idah document renewed its threats against long-time US allies that took part in the American invasion of Iraq in the spring of 2003 and since then have helped the American forces rule Iraq. The document specifically threatened: the Shi‘i sectarian Da‘wah Party, led by US-appointed “Prime Minister” al-Ja‘fari; the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), led by ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-Hakim; the SCIRI’s armed wing the Badr Brigades; the Iraqi National Congress Party led by Ahmad Chelebi; the National Accord Party led by Iyyad ‘Allawi; and the parties led by Kurdish separatist commanders Jalal at-Talibani and Mas‘ud al-Barzani, whom the document called “henchmen of the Jews.” The latest Iraqi al-Qa‘idah statement said that the blood of the members of those movements “may be shed by the swords of the Mujahideen, who are watching them wherever they go.”
The Iraqi Resistance, which totally rejected az-Zarqawi’s call to sectarian war against the Shi‘ah, has all along opposed those above-named pro-American organizations, so the latest statement appears to bring the position of al-Qa‘idah in the Land of the Two Rivers back in line with the strategic consensus of the Iraqi Resistance.
Furthermore, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Baghdad noted that the Shi‘i followers of as-Sadr, al-Khalisi, and al-Baghdadi who are known for their rejection of the US occupation and of Iranian interference in Iraq, account for the majority of Iraq’s Shi‘i population.
The correspondent noted that Muqtada as-Sadr sent Jaysh al-Mahdi fighters to al-Fallujah during the first and second battles in those cities to fight along side the Sunni there. The Jaysh al-Mahdi also provided help to families drive out of their homes by the pro-American Badr Brigade gangs and stood with the Sunni Association of Muslim Scholars in rejecting the occupation and the US-backed “Constitution” imposed on Iraq by the American occupation.
Muhammad al-Khalisi and his movement refused to join the US-installed “government” in Baghdad despite attractive offers made to them.
Shi‘i religious authority Ahmad al-Baghdadi took a famous public position some months ago that a degenerate who fornicates in the mosque in Mecca but who rejects the US occupation is better than the “turbans sitting in Qum and an-Najaf” ミ a reference to pro-American Shi‘i cleric ‘Ali as-Sistani and ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-Hakim.
Salah ad-Din Province.
As-Dujayl.
US soldier reported killed in ambush on American patrol late Tuesday afternoon.
Iraqi Resistance fighters attacked a US patrol near ad-Dujayl on the road leading to the city of Samarra’.
The Samarra’ correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported residents of ad-Dujayl as saying that Resistance fighters armed with light weapons and pipe rockets attacked a patrol of several Humvees at 4pm local time Tuesday afternoon.
The witnesses said that the attack left one US vehicle on fire and killed one American soldier. Three other US troops were wounded. One Resistance fighter was also severely wounded in the engagement but left the scene along with the other Resistance fighters after the battle.
At-Tarimiyah.
Resistance ambushes truck convoy north of Baghdad Tuesday morning.
Iraqi Resistance forces attacked a convoy of trucks loaded with concrete barriers for US bases in the city of at-Tarimiyah, on the highway north of Baghdad at 10:30am local time Tuesday morning.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in the area reported residents of at-Tarimiyah as saying that Resistance fighters armed with machine guns and medium weapons attacked the convoy. They were able to stop two of the trucks and then destroy them, killing the two drivers who were working for the US occupation forces.
Bayji.
Resistance bombards US base with Katyusha rockets Tuesday morning.
Iraqi Resistance forces fired three medium-range Katyusha rockets into the US base located in the as-Siniyah area west of Bayji at 10am local time Tuesday morning.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported a source in the Iraqi puppet police as saying that three Katyusha rockets blasted various parts of the base. The source said that one of the missiles slammed into a place where US vehicles were parked, totally destroying one of the vehicles and disabling a second. Another Katyusha struck near a building and wounded three US troops, one of them severely. The third rocket hit an open field and caused no damage, the source said.
Babil Province.
Al-Yusufiyah.
Resistance ambushes Iraqi puppet army column in al-Yusufiyah.
In a dispatch posted at 6:45pm Mecca time Tuesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance fighters armed with light and medium weapons including RPG7 rocket-propelled grenades attacked an Iraqi puppet army column in the 37 area in the middle of al-Yusufiyah, south of Baghdad.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in al-Yusufiyah reported eyewitnesses as saying that about seven Resistance fighters attacked the column, sparking a battle that lasted about 15 minutes. The Resistance fighters destroyed two puppet army troop carriers, killing five Iraqi puppet army troops and wounding another four.

Salman Bak.
One US soldier reported killed in afternoon bombing of armored column.
An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US armored column near the highway in the Salman Bak area southeast of Baghdad at 4pm local time Tuesday afternoon.
The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported residents of Salman Bak as saying that a bomb that had been planted in the middle of a farm road south of the city blew up as a column of several US Bradley armored vehicles passed by. The explosion disabled one of the armored vehicles, killing one US soldiers and wounding two others.
Ninwa Province.
Tall ‘Afar.
Civilians continue to die as American offensive on Tall ‘Afar grinds on. Thus far 72 children and 53 women have been killed, medical sources report.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in the heart of Tall ‘Afar, under attack by US and Iraqi puppet army forces, managed to get to the field hospital set up in the west of the city on Monday evening where he took pictures of the bodies of people that the Americans and their puppet army spokesmen call “terrorists” lying there in the morgue.
The correspondent reported that 72 children and 53 women and girls were killed in the US bombing and shelling of houses and apartments. These figures are the official statistics, the correspondent said, given him by a doctor in the Tall ‘Afar Field Hospital.
The medical source told the correspondent: “the number of dead continues to increase because of the ferocity of the fighting in the city, particularly since there are still families trapped in their houses who have not been able to flee.”
The source said that no bodies of Resistance fighters had been brought to the hospital “because their comrades bury the bodies of their martyrs in the yards of houses, under the sidewalks, in car parks, and in public squares.”
Asked about the statement by the US-appointed “Minister of Defense” in the puppet government who said that no more than 18 civilians had been killed in the fighting in Tall ‘Afar, the source said the regime would be in great trouble with the Iraqi people if the real numbers were revealed. “They would shake their credibility, which is already completely shaken,” the source observed.
The correspondent wrote that for religious considerations, Mafkarat al-Islam would not be posting any pictures of women killed in the American offensive. Mafkarat al-Islam also noted that the US forces had made the field hospital strictly off limits to any independent correspondents for fear that images from the facility would reach the outside world. It was thus with extreme difficulty that Mafkarat al-Islam has been able to provide the accompanying photographs.

Mosul.
Eighteen “Israeli” diplomats, employees killed in car bombing in Mosul Monday.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Mosul managed to piece together information on a massive car bomb attack on an “Israeli” convoy near the US base in the city on Monday.
In a dispatch posted at 4:05pm Tuesday afternoon Mecca time, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent wrote that an Iraqi Resistance fighter drove an explosives-laden car into a column of four-wheel-drive GMC vehicles in the area of the al-Islah az-Zira‘i neighborhood of Mosul opposite the front gate of Mosul University on Monday. The column of vehicles had been on its way into the American al-Ghazlani military base in Mosul when the deadly attack occurred.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Mosul said that a captain in the Iraqi puppet army’s “rapid deployment unit” reported at midday Tuesday that a Resistance fighter was sitting in a black “Prince” car behind a large digging project that the “Ministry of Agriculture” was doing in the city. A witness interviewed by investigators after the attack said that when the column of four GMCs came into view, the Resistance fighter suddenly and unexpectedly burst out at them, slamming right into the midst of the four vehicles and blowing up, killing a number of foreigners. The captain was unable or unwilling to specify the number or identity of the foreigners killed in the Monday attack.
Witnesses told the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent, however, that three vehicles were totally destroyed and were visibly on fire. The fourth GMC was heavily damaged too, the witnesses said.
For their part the Iraqi puppet police in Mosul reported that the number of those killed or wounded in the attack was 19 persons, two of them Iraqis. Medical sources in the city confirmed, however, that all the dead were foreigners, not one of them an Iraqi.
A statement by al-Qa‘idah in the Land of the Two Rivers claiming responsibility for the attack circulated in Mosul, as did another communiqu issued by the Army of the Ansar as-Sunnah. Both statements said that the attack killed 18 Zionist diplomats and employees in Iraq. The statements said that all of them had come out from Baghdad on a visit to the US military headquarters in Mosul.
Maysan Province.
Al-‘Amarah.
Resistance bombards British base early Tuesday morning.
Iraqi Resistance forces fired a medium-range rocket into the British base located south of al-‘Amarah at 7:30am local time Tuesday morning.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported local residents as saying that the rocket set off a violent explosion inside the camp when it landed.
Dhi Qar.
An-Nasiriyah.
Puppet governor of an-Nasiriyah: Italian forces to be reduced by end of the year.
The puppet governor of the southern Iraqi city of an-Nasiriyah, ‘Aziz Qaddum ‘Alwan, told the Italian News Agency that Rome would be reducing the size of its occupation forces based in an-Nasiriyah by the end of 2005, on condition that the “security situation in the city improves continuously.”
The Italian News Agency, as monitored by Mafkarat al-Islam reported ‘Alwan as saying, “We want this partial withdrawal to be completed and at the same time an increased number of local Iraqi puppet regime forces who are regularly trained by the Italians will arrive.”
‘Alwan said, “of course, we cannot set a specific time schedule for attaining this goal at the present time.”
