Al-Anbar Province.

Al-Hadithah.

Resistance shoots down US helicopter Saturday night.

In a bulletin posted at 10:25pm Mecca time Saturday night, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in al-Hadithah reported that a US helicopter had just been spotted crashing in flames in the al-Khamisah area near the city.

Eyewitnesses told the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent that they heard the sound of gunfire apparently from a Dimitrov anti-aircraft cannon and then they saw the helicopter in the sky with its rear section on fire plunging to earth.

The correspondent reported witnesses as saying that US vehicles raced to the crash site as other American helicopters flew in and hovered overhead. The fate of the crew was, however, unknown.

Rawah.

In a dispatch posted at 4:20pm Mecca time Saturday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that an Iraqi Resistance fida’i fighter had driven an explosives-laden car into a checkpoint jointly manned by US and Iraqi puppet army forces on the road from Rawah to al-Qa’im in the west.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Rawah reported eyewitnesses as saying that the blast destroyed large parts of the checkpoint, killing or wounding about seven American and Iraqi puppet army troops.

Al-Habbaniyah.

Resistance pummels US al-Habbaniyah base with fierce barrage.

In a dispatch posted at 4:10pm Mecca time Saturday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance forces had fired nine heavy 120mm mortar rounds into the main US base in the city of al-Habbaniyah, west of Baghdad, known as the as-Saqr Airbase.

The al-Habbaniyah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported residents of al-Fallahat village, which lies adjacent to the US-occupied base, as saying that the facility came under a fierce Resistance barrage after which the Americans sent helicopters up over the base and surrounding areas. US heavy artillery also responded to the Resistance barrage, pounding the areas they believed to be the source of the incoming fire.

Al-Qa’im.

Resistance bomb blasts American supply convoy.

In a dispatch posted at 4:20pm Mecca time Saturday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that an Iraqi Resistance bomb had exploded by a convoy of trucks hauling provisions to US forces in al-Qa’im.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported that the bomb, which had been planted by the side of the road set fire to one of the trucks, injuring the driver.

Resistance fida’i car bomber rips through US column in al-Karabilah village.

In a dispatch posted at 2:55pm Mecca time Saturday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that an Iraqi Resistance fida’i fighter had driven an explosives-laden car into a US military column on the main road near the entrance to the village of al-Karabilah, east of al-Qa’im near the border with Syria.

The al-Qa’im correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported residents of al-Karabilah as saying that a Resistance fighter driving an explosives-packed car burst into a US column at the western entrance to their village and blew up. The explosion set one American troop transport vehicle on fire, killing or wounding four US troops who were in it.

Al-Baghdadi.

Three US troops reported killed as Iraqi Resistance car bomber blasts US column near ‘Ayn al-Asad base Saturday morning.

In a dispatch posted at 9:50am Mecca time Saturday morning, Mafkarat a-Islam reported that an Iraqi Resistance fida’i fighter had driven an explosives-laden car into a US military column in al-Baghdadi, some 170km northwest of Baghdad, as it drove down the road towards the ‘Ayn al-Asad base.

The al-Baghdadi correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported residents of the city who witnessed the attack as saying that a Resistance fighter in an explosives-packed car surprised the US column of several Humvees on the main road to the American base near the entrance to the city. The fida’i fighter drove in at high speed and blew up near the American column, even though the US troops opened fire at him to try to stop him as he approached.

The explosion completely destroyed one of the US vehicles, killing three American soldiers and wounding two more US troops, the witnesses said.

Al-Fallujah.

Resistance bomb targets joint US-Iraqi puppet army patrol early Saturday afternoon.

In a dispatch posted at 2:30pm Mecca time Saturday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while earlier an Iraqi Resistance bomb had exploded by a joint US-Iraqi puppet army patrol in the al-Jaghifi neighborhood of northern al-Fallujah.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in al-Fallujah reported residents of al-Jaghifi who witnessed the attack as saying that a bomb that had been planted by the side of the main road in the neighborhood, which leads to a joint military camp used by the Americans and the Iraqi puppet army, blew up as a joint foot patrol went past. The explosion killed one Iraqi puppet soldier and wounded four other troops, one of them an American.

After the blast, US forces backed up by Iraqi puppet army troops surrounded the area and arrested two civilians who happened to be nearby at the time.

Resistance bomb blasts joint US-Iraqi puppet army patrol near industrial zone early Saturday.

In a dispatch posted at 9:40am Mecca time Saturday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while earlier an Iraqi Resistance bomb had exploded by a joint US-Iraqi puppet army patrol near the industrial zone in the southeast of al-Fallujah, about 50km west of Baghdad.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported owners of mechanical workshops in the industrial zone who witnessed the bombing as saying that an explosive device that had been planted by the side of the road linking the industrial zone with he center of the city had blown up as a joint patrol was passing by. They said the explosion set one of the Iraqi puppet army vehicles on fire and left one Iraqi puppet army soldier dead and a second wounded.

In a dispatch posted at 3:10pm Mecca time Saturday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance fighters had attacked a patrol of the puppet “Iraqi Interior Ministry Shock Troops” in the al-Mikanik neighborhood in the south Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah.

The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported residents of ad-Durah who witnessed the bombing as saying that Resistance fighters armed with medium weapons attacked the puppet “shock troop” patrol as it marched along a side street in the al-Mikanik neighborhood in the middle of ad-Durah. The attack left two puppet “shock troop” cars heavily damaged and five “shock troops” wounded, two of them seriously.

Resistance attacks patrol of “Shock Troop” puppet forces Saturday morning.

In a dispatch posted at 10:30am Mecca time Saturday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance fighters had attacked a patrol of the puppet “Iraqi Interior Ministry Shock Troops” in southwest Baghdad’s al-Bayya‘ district.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported residents of al-Bayya‘ who witnessed the attack as saying that Resistance fighters armed with automatic weapons and PKS machine guns attacked the patrol, setting fire to one of their cars and killing three puppet shock troops and wounding two more. Afterwards the Resistance fighters withdrew from the scene.

An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by an Iraqi puppet army patrol of several troop transport vehicles and trucks loaded with equipment on the highway in the northern Baghdad suburb of at-Taji at about 8:15am local time Saturday morning.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported residents of at-Taji who witnessed the attack as saying that a bomb that had been planted by the side of the highway blew up as the column drove past. The blast set one of the trucks in the convoy on fire, killing two Iraqi puppet army soldiers and wounding two more.

Salah ad-Din Province.

Tikrit.

Resistance bombards US headquarters in Tikrit.

Iraqi Resistance forces fired six mortar rounds into the US military headquarters set up in one of the buildings of the Iraqi presidential palace near the al-‘Awjah area of Tikrit, north of Baghdad at 5am local time in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday morning.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported residents of al-‘Awjah who witnessed the attack as saying that six mortar rounds blasted into the American headquarters, producing explosions inside. No information on the nature or extent of casualties was available, but swarms of US helicopters were seen in the area for three hours after the attack.

Diyala Province.

Al-Mada’in.

More than 30 youths arrested in sweep by security forces southeast of Baghdad Saturday.

Puppet “Iraqi Interior Ministry Shock Troops” mounted a campaign of arrests of Sunni civilians in the areas of al-Mada’in and Salman Bak southeast of Baghdad on Saturday.

The al-Mada’in correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses as saying that the “Shock Troops” closed all roads in the region and carried out house-to-house raids and arrests of Sunni Arabs, taking at least 30 youths into custody.

Although the al-Mada’in and Salman Bak area are home to a mixed population of Sunni and Shi‘i Iraqis, the waves of arrests usually affect only the Sunnis, Mafkarat al-Islam’s correspondent noted.

Buhriz.

Resistance ambushes US column Saturday morning.

Iraqi Resistance forces ambushed a US column on the road to Buhriz northeast of Baghdad at about 10am local time Saturday morning.

The Ba‘qubah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported residents of Buhriz who witnessed the attack as saying that the engagement began when a bomb that the Iraqi Resistance had planted by the side of the road to Ba‘qubah blew up by a passing column of several American troop transports and Humvees.

The witnesses said that the explosion disabled one American vehicle, bringing the column to a halt. At that point, Resistance fighters opened fire with an 82mm mortar, destroying one American personnel carrier and killing or wounding about seven US troops.

Al-Basrah Province.

Al-Basrah.

British, Danish occupation forces mount massive campaign of arrests of former Shi‘i allies in several districts of al-Basrah as tension mounts in city, against background of suspected Iranian involvement.

In a dispatch posted at 3:20pm Mecca time Saturday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that British and Danish occupation troops had carried out a new wave or arrests in al-Basrah on Friday night and Saturday morning. Witnesses reported that the campaign focused on the northern districts of al-Harithah, al-Qurnah, and Karmat ‘Ali in the northern part of the city.

Among those picked up in the British-Danish sweep was the engineer ‘Uday ‘Awwad Kazim, the official in charge of electric power distribution in the occupation-installed provincial government of al-Basrah.

Following the arrest, employees and associates of the local electricity department in al-Basrah issued a statement ﾐ a copy of which was obtained by Mafkarat al-Islam ﾐ in which they condemned the arrest of their director and threatened to hold a demonstration on Sunday outside the British consulate. The electricity department staff gave the British occupation forces 24 hours to release their director and at the same time asked the occupation-installed al-Basrah provincial assembly to intervene quickly to resolve the crisis.

An eyewitness told Mafkarat al-Islam that British and Danish forces had surrounded other areas of northern al-Basrah as well on Saturday morning, presumably in order to carry out arrests there as well.

Mafkarat al-Islam’s correspondent reported that sources that asked not to be identified had stated that the arrested electricity distribution director for the province, ‘Uday ‘Awwad Kazim, was a member of the Sayyid ash-Shuhada’ Movement and had strong ties to Iranian intelligence. Such claims could not be confirmed, however, particularly as the British occupation maintained a blackout on information regarding its mass arrest campaign.

The sweep in the al-Harithah, al-Qurnah, Karmat ‘Ali, and possibly other districts followed an earlier wave of arrests of puppet-regime security service intelligence officers and puppet police in a sweep of the al-Ma‘qal area in northern al-Basrah. The British had arrested 15 “suspects” in that sweep, according to an earlier dispatch posted by Mafkarat al-Islam at 10:10am Mecca time Saturday morning..

Although the exact reasons for the arrests were unknown, local sources noted that the British campaign of arrests was taking place at a time when there had been numerous charges that Iran was funding Shi‘i groups in southern Iraq to carry out acts of sabotage and assassination with the aim of aggravating a sense of sectarian terror, making it appear that Sunni sectarians were behind such attacks.

The incident also followed the crisis that arose between the British and their own Iraqi puppet forces that accompanied an incident in September in which Iraqi puppet security forces arrested British intelligence operatives found to be carrying explosives apparently with the aim of some sort of sabotage. British forces later forced the release of their spies after Iraqi demonstrators set fire to two British tanks. A state of tension has prevailed between the British occupation forces on the one side and the local Shi‘i sectarian forces supposedly aligned with them on the other.

In developments whose background is still unclear, two members of the Badr Brigades have been assassinated in the last 48 hours, informed sources who wished to remain anonymous told Mafkarat al-Islam. Eyewitnesses told Mafkarat al-Islam that one of the Brigade members was found dead in his bed at home, and the body of the other was found in a street in al-Basrah.

The Badr Brigades are the armed wing of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) whose forces invaded Iraq together with the Americans and British in 2003. Since the invasion they have served as the backbone within the Anglo-American-recruited puppet police and security administration. Strongly tied to the parties in the puppet “government” of Ibrahim al-Ja‘fari, they also maintain close ties to Iran.

The Iraqi Resistance regards the Badr Brigades as part of the occupation and its stooges and regularly targets their personnel. It was unclear, however, if the recent killings of Badr Brigade members in al-Basrah were the work of the Resistance or were somehow related to the rising tension between the Brigades and their British patrons. No Resistance organization has claimed responsibility for the killings, Mafkarat al-Islam noted.

Resistance fires at British helicopter, forcing it to flee Friday night.

Iraqi Resistance fighters opened fire on a British helicopter in the Dawr ad-Dubbat area north of al-Basrah at 10:30pm Friday night, forcing the aircraft to release a flare (to deflect heat-seeking missiles) and then flee.
