☆Iraqi rebels attack in Ramadi, seize some streets（ロイター通信）
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/BAK133566.htm
RAMADI, Iraq, Dec 1 (Reuters) – Masked militants attacked a U.S. base and a local government building with mortars and rockets in the western Iraqi city of Ramadi on Thursday, before holding ground on central streets, residents said.
Scores of heavily armed men set up roadblocks at major entrance and exit points to the city, a heartland of the insurgency in Iraq, and patrolled the main thoroughfares, residents said.
In some areas they dispersed after a few hours, but guerrillas remained in other parts.
ラマディ市街の主要部は、現在、武装勢力が制圧した模様。ラマディ市内の壁や宣伝ビラには「米兵を焼く尽くし、奴らを力ずくでアメリカへ帰国させる」「イラクを米兵の集団墓地にする」などと書かれている。ラマディ市庁舎や米軍基地は、ロケット砲や迫撃砲などで猛攻撃されている。

上記「ロイター通信」の続きを補うと、次のとおり。
Leaflets were distributed and posted on walls saying al Qaeda in Iraq, the group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was taking over the city.
"Its followers will burn the Americans and will drive them back to their homes by force. Iraq will be a graveyard for the Americans and their allies," one of the leaflets read.
An Internet posting from the group said the attack, dubbed "Battle of the Lions", was carried out to expose "the falseness of the crusaders' claims about their imaginary 'Steel Curtain'". It was referring to a recent U.S.-led operation in western Iraq which officials said killed hundreds of insurgents. After the initial attack, the situation calmed down, with groups of masked men holding ground but not firing their weapons. In other parts of the city the rebels dispersed, and some residents said U.S. forces were starting to patrol again.
The assault on Ramadi, capital of Anbar province, began early on Thursday with a mortar and rocket attack on a U.S. base in the city and on a nearby provincial governor's building.
"They've taken control of all the main streets and other sections of Ramadi," a reporter for Reuters there said earlier. "I've seen about 400 armed men controlling streets, some of which were controlled by Americans before."
The U.S. military did not immediately respond to a request for information about the situation.
The U.S. military has a fortified garrison in Ramadi, and usually ventures out to conduct patrols and other operations. Iraqi forces also have bases there.
Ramadi has long been a focal point of militant activity in Iraq. After U.S. forces overran Falluja in a massive offensive last November, many insurgents apparently fled west to Ramadi, which is about 60 km (40 miles) beyond Falluja.
Thursday's assault came the day after U.S. President George W. Bush announced details of his strategy in Iraq, saying more efforts would be made to train Iraqi security forces to take on insurgents so that U.S. forces could eventually withdraw.
