Al-Anbar Province.

Ar-Ramadi.

Iraqi puppet army spokesman: US Operation “River Gate” was “colossal failure” cancelled due to heavy US losses that have not been made public.

Colonel Ahmad Salman, the spokesman for the Iraqi puppet army in al-Anbar province disclosed that the recent American “river gate” offensive mounted along the upper Euphrates valley in the west of al-Anbar had been a colossal failure that succeeded in attaining nothing significant but had to be called off after three days due to heavy American loses.

Colonal Salman told the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam that the “river gate” offensive had succeeded in eliminating only 5 percent of the Iraqi Resistance’s strength in the area.

The colonel added that the operation was cancelled three days after it began on orders from top experts in the Pentagon because the American forces were suffering heavy losses that were not disclosed to the media. The blame for the failure of the operation, Colonel Salman said, rested with officials in the US-installed Iraqi “government” who announced that the operation was going to be launched weeks before it began, allowing the Resistance plenty of time to prepare ambushes, booby-trapped cars, and bombs, and gave them a chance to move most of their arsenal out of the area where the American operation was to take place.

Asked about the extent of US or Iraqi puppet army losses in the offensive, Colonel Salman replied that as regarded the Iraqi puppet army, casualties were “three times the losses sustained in Tall ‘Afar.” As to the American Marine casualties, he indicated that he had no precise figures on American losses, but said that he knew that 17 high-ranking Marine officers and specialists were killed in the course of the “river gate” and “iron fist” offensives as a result of Resistance rocket barrages, car bombings, and ambushes.

The spokesman for the Iraqi puppet army noted that the operations had been halted so that the US and Iraqi puppet forces could regroup and organize a new offensive according to a carefully laid-out plan that would be carried out in the foreseeable future. Colonel Salman expressed doubts that the expected new offensive would be successful either, however, now that the US and Iraqi puppet forces had lost the element of surprise and because they had very little intelligence about the Resistance due to the fact that the residents of al-Anbar Province refused to cooperate with US and Iraqi regime forces.

Al-Basrah Province.

Al-Basrah.

Puppet “Provincial Assembly” in al-Basrah proclaims “non-cooperation” with the British occupation forces over the arrests of local Shi‘i political figures, calls for US installed Iraqi “government” to resolve dispute.

The puppet Provincial Assembly of al-Basrah whose members belong to Shi‘i sectarian pro-US political parties, issued a declaration on the recent arrests carried out by British forces in various Shi‘i neighborhoods of al-Basrah. One of those picked up in the British sweep was ‘Uday ‘Awwad Kazim, the al-Basrah Director of Electricity Distribution, who has been rumored to have close ties with Iranian intelligence; and the local commander of the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia, Ahmad al-Fartusi.

The declaration by the al-Basrah puppet assembly, a copy of which was obtained by Mafkarat al-Islam, described the British actions as “provocations.” The statement also denounced the British raid on the headquarters of the puppet police force in charge of investigating criminal felonies in which British troops freed two British soldiers who had been arrested by the local puppet police in possession of explosives in the city one month ago.

The statement proclaimed comprehensive non-cooperation with the British occupation forces and called for the speedy release of all those arrested by the British authorities. The statement also called for speedy intervention by the US-installed “Iraqi government” to resolve the dispute between the al-Basrah local authorities and the British forces, “so that it might not lead to instability in al-Basrah.”

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent noted that the statement reflected the sectarian double standards that prevail within the puppet assembly. The correspondent noted that the puppet assembly made no statements about the waves of arrests of members of the Sunni population in the province, which have been going on for three years, since the occupation, and which have gone so far as to involve the torture and mutilation of Sunnis taken from the streets by the puppet regime’s security services.

The correspondent pointed out that many Sunnis still languished in the prisons of the provincial puppet authorities for no reason other than their Sunni identity. In their recent arrests, the correspondent noted, the British forces arrested no more than 20 Iraqi Shi‘ah, while the number of Sunnis currently detained by the puppet regime’s security services exceeds 150.

Several Badr Brigade members were wounded and two cars parked near the door to the Badr Brigade headquarters were destroyed.

The correspondent reported that the occupation authorities had blacked out information on the bombing and no announcement from any Resistance group had been forthcoming either.

The bombing was the second attack on the Badr Brigade headquarters in the city after the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia, loyal to Muqtada as-Sadr.

Mafkarat al-Islam quoted an independent source as saying that intense differences had erupted among the Shi‘i sectarian parties taking part in the puppet provincial council of al-Basrah, in particularly between the Islamic Virtue Party and the SCIRI. Several days ago, a number of members in the al-Basrah provincial branch of the Islamic Virtue Party were killed and so far the identity of their killers has not been ascertained.

Posters calling on Iraqis to support US-backed constitution torn up in various parts of al-Basrah.

Rresidents of the city informed Mafkarat al-Islam that posters urging Iraqis to vote “yes” on the draft “constitution” that the US is seeking to impose on Iraq under pressure of the occupation have been found torn to pieces in several places in the city. It is believed that the posters were being torn up at late hours of the night.
