Ar-Rutbah.

? Five US Marines reported killed in Resistance car bombing in ar-Rutbah near Jordanian border.

In a dispatch posted at 7:15pm Makkah time Friday evening, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while earlier that an Iraqi Resistance fida’i fighter had driven an explosives-laden car into a US military column near a vehicle inspection complex in the middle of ar-Rutbah near the public auction lot where cars are sold near the Iraqi border with Jordan.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the blast destroyed an American vehicle of an unknown type that US forces had brought into the western part of Iraq recently. The vehicle is more massive and bigger in size than the standard US Humvee. Eyewitnesses told Mafkarat al-Islam that the explosion totally destroyed the American vehicle, killing all the five Marines who were aboard it.

At the time of reporting, US troops were still surrounding the whole area. The correspondent reported that the Americans had recovered the head and parts of the body of the Resistance fighter who drove the car bomb and placed them in a bag, which they then put in one of the vehicles that evacuated the bodies of the American dead.

Al-Hadithah.

? Resistance bomb leaves three US troops reported dead in al-Hadithah Friday morning.

In a dispatch posted at 3:10pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that an Iraqi Resistance high-explosive bomb went off by a US Humvee in the middle of the city of al-Hadithah, about 300km northwest of Baghdad, at 9am local time Friday morning.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the bomb exploded on ad-Dubbat Street near the popular markets on the way to the strategic al-Hadithah dam on the Euphrates River.

Shopkeepers who witnessed the huge bomb explosion told Mafkarat al-Islam that the US vehicle burst into a great ball of flame and then its own stocks of ammunition began exploding inside it.

The correspondent reported that a US helicopter arrived on the scene 15 minutes after the attack and landed in the middle of the street. American soldiers recovered three bodies on stretchers. The bodies were motionless and their faces were covered, indicating that they were dead. The US troops evacuated two other soldiers, lifting them by their arms and legs and placing them aboard the helicopter.

Afterwards, US troops remained in the area for an hour, keeping the road completely closed and preventing anyone from approaching the scene until they left.

Hit.

? US stages mass arrests of worshippers following Friday prayers in Hit.

In a bulletin posted at 2:50pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that word had just been received that US occupation troops accompanied by their Iraqi puppet army allies were at that moment carrying out a large-scale campaign of arrests in the residential area near the tar and asphalt plant in the eastern part of Hit, about 140km northwest of Baghdad.

The Hit correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the Americans took advantage of the fact that people were attending Friday congregational prayers to set up checkpoints near the mosques. There they arrested any man with a beard or covered head, local witnesses were reporting. Since the Prophet Muhammad had a beard, religiously devout men often have beards.

The correspondent reported that as of the time of writing, more than 50 individuals had been arrested by the Americans, but the campaign of arrests was still underway.

Ar-Ramadi.

? US troops trash al-Anbar University campus, storming through colleges, smashing equipment. One professor arrested in destructive raid.

In a dispatch posted at 6:30pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that US Marines accompanied by their Iraqi puppet army allies stormed into the campus of the University of al-Anbar in western ar-Ramadi, about 110km west of Baghdad at 2pm local time Friday afternoon.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported Dr. Khalid al-Qurrah ‘Ali, the Information Director of the University as saying that a force of 15 American vehicles with over 50 US soldiers accompanied by Iraqi puppet troops stormed onto the University of al-Anbar campus ransacking and searching buildings in the College of Sciences, the College of Engineering, and the College of Education. They confiscated laboratory equipment and smashed equipment in the Department of Physics and Chemistry on the pretext that these might be used by the Iraqi Resistance for making bombs.

Dr. Khalid Qurrah ‘Ali said that the occupation troops arrested a professor inside a university building in the university faculty housing area on the pretext that he was drawing up plans and coordinates of US bases in the city for the Resistance.

The Information Director said that the American troops finally departed after two hours, leaving the university wrecked and in shambles.

Al-Fallujah.

? Three US troops killed in fighting in al-Fallujah midday Friday.

In a dispatch posted at 5:30pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that violent fighting broke out between Iraqi Resistance forces an US troops in the middle of al-Fallujah, about 60km west of Baghdad at midday Friday.

The al-Fallujah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses as saying that the fighting, which erupted in the New Street area near the Accounting Unit of the al-Fallujah Land Directorate, lasted for 20 minutes. One Humvee was destroyed and three US troops killed in the clash. Four other American soldiers were wounded, the witnesses said.

At least one Resistance fighter was killed in the battle. Two more of the fighters were severely wounded and taken prisoner by the Americans. Local residents in the al-Jumhuriyah neighborhood tried to protect the wounded Resistance fighters, taking them into a nearby house, but the Americans pursued them, stormed into the house and took the wounded Resistance fighters prisoner. The Americans also arrested the owner of the house and his sons on charges of “giving refuge” to what they called “terrorists.”

For their part Iraqi puppet police sources in al-Fallujah confirmed that three Americans were killed in the battle and a fourth wounded. They said that the Resistance fired an armor-piercing rocket at a US Jeep, totally destroying it. Three of the Americans aboard were killed. Four other US troops were wounded by Iraqi Resistance medium machine gun fire.

The correspondent reported that the situation in the city is extremely tense, as the Americans have called in large numbers of reinforcements who have deployed snipers atop house roofs. The Americans have driven through the streets using loudspeakers to declare a curfew in the al-Jumhuriyah neighborhood where the fighting took place.

? Mysterious attacks target civilian communication facilities in as-Saqlawiyah, al-Fallujah, al-Habbaniyah, al-Khalidiyah. Resistance disavows any connection with attacks that prevent local people from communicating during curfew.

In a dispatch posted at 2:20pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that unknown armed men attacked the communications center specially for the town of as-Saqlawiyah, north of al-Fallujah and completely destroyed it. The mysterious attack took place on Friday morning.

The al-Fallujah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported professor Salah Muhammad as saying hat unknown armed men attacked the communications center where there are landline telephone connections and towers for cellular telephone service. The armed men planted explosives around the buildings and under the towers and blew up everything, knocking out most civilian communications in the area.

The correspondent reported that the attack was widely condemned by residents in the area because the telephone links were very important, particularly since during the evening and night time a curfew is in force and no one is allowed out of his or her home.

On Wednesday, 21 April, the cellular telephone towers and the landlines for telephones were similiarly attacked in the nearby cities of al-Fallujah, al-Habbaniyah, and al-Khalidiyah. Afterward, the Iraqi Resistance organizations the Islamic Army, the Army of the Mujahideen, the Army of the Ansar as-Sunnah, and the 1920 Revolution Brigades declared that they had had nothing to do with the attacks and regarded them as harmful to the interests of the citizens at this time, particularly, they noted, since the curfew prevents people from going to hospitals in emergencies.

? Resistance Katyusha rockets slam into US base east of al-Fallujah before sunrise Friday.

In a dispatch posted at 11:20am Makkah time Friday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance forces fired five Katyusha rockets into the US base east of al-Fallujah, about 60km west of Baghdad, at 5am local time, early dawn, Friday.

The al-Fallujah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the barrage sent four thick, black plumes of smoke rising into the sky. Two US helicopters were observed hovering at low altitude over the base after the attack. The correspondent reported local witnesses as saying that the smoke continued to billow up from the base for nearly an hour and a half after the barrage.

Baghdad.

? US-installed Iraqi regime issues list of 16,000 Sunnis marked for extermination.

In a dispatch posted at 7:30pm Makkah time Friday evening, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the puppet “Iraqi Interior Ministry” had issued a list of 16,000 Iraqis who, it claims, are “criminals and former Baathists” and whom it blames for the “deterioration of security in Iraq.” The puppet “Interior Ministry,” notorious for the torture and murder of hundreds of Iraqis, threatened that it would arrest the 16,000 in the near future.

The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the official television network of the US-installed puppet government broadcast the list, which includes a number of Sunni religious scholars, on Friday evening. In keeping with its standard terminology, the official regime’s TV station referred to the 16,000 Iraqi citizens as “terrorists.”

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported that sources in the puppet said that the list, which was issued on Thursday to puppet regime security forces and was publicly announced on Friday, consists exclusively of Sunni Iraqis from the regions of Baghdad, al-Mawsil, Kirkuk, and the provinces of al-Anbar, Diyala, and Salah ad-Din.

The sources said that Iraqi puppet army and police forces were preparing to launch a campaign of raids and searches of areas where the 16,000 citizens are likely to be found, in the hopes of capturing them.

? Eleven bodies of torture victims found in Baghdad neighborhood Friday morning, as UN representative notes thousands held in puppet regime prisons “illegally.”

In a dispatch posted at 3:30pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the Forensic Medicine Department of the Iraqi puppet “Ministry of Health” in Baghdad announced that 11 unidentified bodies had been discovered in a predominantly Shi‘i neighborhood in Baghdad on Friday morning.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported a source in the Forensic Medicine Department, which is responsible for taking in bodies discovered in the city, as saying that puppet policemen brought in 11 unidentified bodies at 10am Friday morning. The corpses had been found in the predominantly Shi‘i Ur neighborhood in the eastern part of the occupied Iraqi capital. They had been tortured and shot to death, as is usual for the victims of the pro-American Shi‘i sectarian Badr Brigades and the puppet “Iraqi Interior Ministry Shock Troops (Maghawir).” The 11 bodies, however, had no identification papers on them.

On Friday Gianni Magazzeni, the head of the United Nations Human Rights Office in Baghdad accused the Iraqi puppet regime of holding thousands of prisoners “illegally.”

According to the American Associated Press (AP) Magazzeni said that US occupation forces were holding about 14,000 Iraqi prisoners at the end of February and that the US-installed “Iraqi” puppet regime had more than 15,000 prisoners.

According to official law in Iraq, only the “Ministry of Justice” has the right to hold prisoners for more than 72 hours. In practice, however, Magazzeni said, most prisoners held by the US-installed puppet “Iraqi” regime are in the custody of the puppet “Interior Ministry” and “Defense Ministry.”

? Resistance bombards US Sukkaniya base in ad-Durah Friday morning.

In a dispatch posted at 11:10am Makkah time Friday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance forces fired six heavy 120mm mortar rounds into the US Sukkaniya Base in the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah at 7am local time Friday morning.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported First Lieutenant Sadiq Ja‘far of the Iraqi puppet army as saying that US troops responded to the incoming mortar shells, firing a number of artillery rounds into date palm groves in the al-Bu ‘Ithah area, destroying a number of date palm trees and wounding two peasants.

Lieutenant Ja‘far said that the Resistance mortar shells landed in the midst of the US base and that the Americans called in helicopters to provide help. “But they didn’t let us get involved, as usual,” Ja‘far said, referring to the US relationship with the Iraqi puppet army. Because they called for helicopters to come in, Ja‘far believed that the Americans must have sustained casualties in dead and/or wounded but he had no direct knowledge since the Iraqi puppet troops were kept away from the scene.

? Bodyguards of puppet “Deputy Prime Minister” kidnapped with their cars.

In a dispatch posted at 10:50am Makkah time Friday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that five members of the personal guard of the puppet Deputy Prime Minister ‘Abd Mutlak al-Jabburi were abducted in their cars in Baghdad on Thursday evening.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported a source in the Iraqi puppet army as saying that the five went missing in the area between ash-Shu‘lah in northern Baghdad and the suburb of at-Taji, about 25km north of the occupied Iraqi capital. A search is now underway for them. The correspondent reported that there had been no official confirmation of the abduction from the office of the puppet “Deputy Prime Minister” ﾐ a Sunni collaborating with the occupation as of the time of reporting.

? US-backed Shi‘i sectarian grouping chooses candidate to succeed Ibrahim al-Ja‘fari as puppet “Prime Minister.”

In a dispatch posted at 11:30pm Makkah time Friday night, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Humam Hammudi, an official of the pro-American Shi‘i sectarian “United Iraqi Alliance” coalition, had announced that the political grouping had chosen Jawad al-Maliki as its new candidate for the post of puppet “Prime Minister,” replacing the outgoing puppet premier Ibrahim al-Ja‘fari.

The nomination of al-Maliki, who is close to al-Ja‘fari and a fellow member of the Shi‘i sectarian Da‘wah Party, appeared to end a problematic period during which al-Ja‘fari refused to resign despite pressure from the US that he do so. The American embassy is thought to be intent on putting together a so-called “national unity government” in which Sunni collaborationist politicians would join Kurdish Separatists and Shi‘i sectarians in publicly endorsing the continued occupation of the country by US and British military forces.

Mafkarat al-Islam reported a Reuters dispatch as saying that al-Maliki had not originally been considered as a candidate for the post since he was viewed as another Shi‘i sectarian politician whose positions were very close to those of al-Ja‘fari and who would not be likely to win the support of the other pro-American collaborationist factions. News reports suggested however that American pressure might be sufficient to win approval by all the collaborationist groups. A decision on al-Maliki was expected to be made at a meeting of the US-installed Iraqi “parliament” on Saturday afternoon. There the US embassy hopes an end will be put to the embarrassing four-month long parliamentary crisis, during which US backed factions ﾐ united only in their total dependence on the American occupation ﾐ were unable to agree on a new puppet “Prime Minister.”

Salah ad-Din Province.

Samarra’.

? Mysterious attackers destroy post office, telephone lines and towers, cutting off telecommunications in Samarra’.

In a dispatch posted at 6:20pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that unknown armed men destroyed the post office and four cellular telephone towers in the city of Samarra’, about 120km north of Baghdad, on Friday.

The Samarra’ correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported an employee of the Samarra’ Directorate of the Post and Telecommunications as saying that unknown armed men destroyed the only communications center for telephone landlines and the towers for cellular telephone service in the city.

The source said that the attacks resulted in complete cut off of communications service in the city.

Similar attacks on the telephone communications infrastructure took place in as-Saqlawiyah, north of al-Fallujah, on Friday and in other towns in al-Anbar Province two days earlier. In those instances, the Iraqi Resistance organizations denounced the attacks and denied any involvement in such actions that only harm the interests of the local people.

(See story “Mysterious attacks target civilian communication facilities in as-Saqlawiyah, al-Fallujah, al-Habbaniyah, al-Khalidiyah. Resistance disavows any connection with attacks that prevent local people from communicating during curfew,” above.)

Ninwa Province.

Al-Mawsil.

? Three Resistance bombs rip through puppet army, police patrols in al-Mawsil.

In a dispatch posted at 4:30pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that three Iraqi Resistance bombs exploded by patrols of Iraqi puppet army troops in various parts of the northern city of al-Mawsil (Mosul).

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported the first bmob went off by an Iraqi puppet army patrol near the az-Zuhur crossing in the az-Zuhur area on the left bank of the Tigris River (the northeastern part of al-Mawsil) The blast left six Iraqi puppet army troops dead and two more of them wounded.

A second Resistance bomb went off by an Iraqi puppet police patrol at the al-Jamilah Square crossroads a half hour after the first bomb, i.e., at 10:45am local time Friday morning. A source in the al-Mawsil puppet police said that the second bombing killed three Iraqi puppet policemen and seriously wounded a fourth.

A third Resistance bomb exploded by a patrol of puppet “Rescue Police” near the Food Products Agency in al-Mawsil’s al-Muhandisin district. That blast killed one puppet policeman and moderately wounded two more of them.

Sources told Mafkarat al-Islam that the Army of the Ansar as-Sunnah took responsibility for the three attacks.

Wasit Province.

Al-Kut.

? Death of Saudi prisoner under torture in puppet “Interior Ministry” prison in al-Kut reported.

In a dispatch posted at 4:20pm Makkah time Friday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that it had been learned that a Saudi who was being held captive in a prison run by the Iraqi puppet “Ministry of the Interior” in the southern city of al-Kut had died.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported a source in the puppet “Iraqi Prison Administration” who asked not to be identified as saying that the information about the death was revealed during a meeting with a delegation of the Red Cross organization concerning the situation of the prisoners in the custody of the puppet “Interior Ministry” held on Friday morning.

The sources said that the prisoner died on Monday, 10 April 2006, in the al-Kut prison being run by the puppet “Interior Ministry.” The cause of death was listed as a rise in blood pressure that resulted in brain hemorrhage. The apparent cause of the rise in blood pressure was the fact that he was subjected to torture.

The source said that there are more than 1,000 Sunni prisoners in the al-Kut facility run by the puppet “Ministry of the Interior,” among them Arabs from other countries who had been arrested late in 2005 or early this year. The source gave no details regarding the death such as the name of the deceased Saudi, where he had been arrested, or whether his body would be handed over to the Saudi government.
