Baghdad.
US claims one more American killed in “non-combat” situation in occupied Iraq.
In a dispatch posted at 12:48am Baghdad time just after midnight Friday morning, the Aswat al-‘Iraq news agency, which was set up by Reuters and the U.N. Development Agency, reported that the American military had admitted that one more of its troops had died in what it called a “non-combat” situation on Thursday.
Aswat al-‘Iraq reported a US announcement as saying that the death occurred in Baghdad but in keeping with the US practice of concealing the facts regarding American losses in Iraq, it offered few other details.
US admits two more American soldiers killed in Iraq on Wednesday.
In a dispatch posted at 9:15pm Baghdad time Thursday night, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that the US military admitted that two more of its troops had been killed to the north of Baghdad on Wednesday.
The AMSI reported that a statement issued by the American occupation authorities on Thursday announced that two US soldiers were killed in offensive operations in Baghdad. Six more American troops were wounded in the attack, the US statement added.
US carries out airborne landings in ‘Arab Jabbur area of Baghdad’s southern suburbs.
In a dispatch posted at pm Makkah time Thursday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that US airborne troops attacked a desert area in the southern area of Baghdad today.
Mafkarat al-Islam reported a number of houses in the ‘Arab Jabbur area to the south of Baghdad, claiming that they were being used by the Iraqi Resistance.
Earlier in the week the Americans announced that they were launching another offensive against the Iraqi Resistance employing some 4,000 men in airborne attacks in the Tigris River valley to the south of the occupied Iraqi capital.
Shi‘i sectarian Jaysh al-Mahdi militia abducts, murders two men on visit to relatives in prison.
In a dispatch posted at 12:14pm Baghdad time midday Thursday, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that the Shi‘i sectarian Jaysh al-Mahdi militia have kidnapped and killed two Iraqi civilians − Mujbil Samir ad-Dulaymi and Khalid Walid al-Jabburi − both residents of the al-Furat neighborhood in western Baghdad.
The AMSI correspondent reported that the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia, which is loyal to Shi‘i sectarian cleric Muqtada as-Sadr, a collaborator with the US occupation, abducted the two men from the al-Baladiyat housing area which is also home to many Palestinian refugees.
AMSI reported that ad-Dulaymi and al-Jabburi were last seen when paying a visit to relatives of theirs who were being held in a prison run by the US-installed “Iraqi Ministry of Interior” on Monday, 13 August. Their decomposed bodies were found in the al-Mashtall area Thursday morning, 16 August.
The Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq denounced this murder as another “cowardly act,” and declared that it was holding the US occupation and its puppet regime fully responsible for the crime. It also urged Iraqis to exercise utmost caution when going into areas controlled by the sectarian militias.
US forces blow up houses of residents in al-Jihad neighborhood, injuring three residents.
In a dispatch posted at 11:48am Baghdad time Thursday morning, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that US occupation troops on Wednesday blew up four houses in the ad-Dubbat area of the al-Jihad neighborhood, No. 883, injuring three local residents and heavily damaging adjacent houses.
The AMSI correspondent reported eyewitnesses as saying that American troops surrounded the area and then launched a campaign of raids and searches of several houses. They then planted explosives and blew up a number of those homes, in the process injuring three local people who had to be taken to a local popular clinic for treatment.
US forces regularly blow up houses that they regard as “suspicious.” Just in recent days, the Americans have blown up at least 10 houses in the al-Ghazaliyah and al-Khadra’ districts as well as a large number of homes in the al-‘Amiriyah district − either by planting explosives in them or by rocketing them from the air.
Mysterious car bomb kills nine in Baghdad’s ar-Rusafah Square Thursday morning.
In a dispatch posted at 10:18am Baghdad time Thursday morning, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that a car bomb exploded in the middle of Baghdad on Thursday morning.
The AMSI reported a source in the puppet police as saying that an explosives-laden car went off near ar-Rusafah Square damaging several buildings and cars in the area and killing four civilians. Six other civilians were also wounded in the blast, by preliminary count.
A short while later, in a dispatch posted at 10:43am Makkah time Thursday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the explosion had claimed the lives of nine people and injured 17 more.

Diyala Province.
Al-Mada’in.
Resistance bomb destroys US mine sweeper in al-Mada’in.
In a dispatch posted at 11:03am Baghdad time Thursday morning, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that an Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a mine sweeper vehicle in the Barid al-Mada’in area.
The AMSI reported that the blast destroyed the mine sweeper, but US forces quickly sealed off the area where the attack took place, making it impossible for anyone to approach or to find out the nature or extent of casualties, if any.
Puppet “Lion Brigade” troops block shipments of food, cooking gas cylinders from going into al-Mada’in − then steal the gas and distribute it to relatives.
In a dispatch posted at 11:03am Baghdad time Thursday morning, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that puppet “Lion Brigade” troops confiscated cooking gas cylinders that they found on trucks headed into the town of al-Mada’in, 25km southeast of Baghdad.
The AMSI correspondent reported that the puppet troops declared that there were “terrorists” − meaning Iraqi Resistance fighters − in the town and they prevented trucks loaded with the gas cylinders from getting into the city. They then took the cylinders and distributed them in the al-Wardiyah area which is where the Shi‘i sectarian “Lion Brigade” troops in the unit came from. The puppet “Lion Brigade” troops distributed the gas cylinders free of charge to their friends and relatives in al-Wardiyah and threatened to kill the owners of the shipment if they objected.
Earlier, the same “Lion Brigade” puppet troops prevented a shipment of flour from getting into al-Mada’in, using the same excuse, namely that “terrorists” were in the city.
Unexplained mortar shell kills civilian in al-Mada’in.
In a dispatch posted at 10:18am Baghdad time Thursday morning, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that a mortar shell of unknown origin landed in the al-Mada’in area, 25km southeast of Baghdad.
The AMSI reported that the blast killed one civilian and wounded two more.
Al-Qadisiyah Province.
Ad-Diwaniyah.
Ad-Diwaniyah locked down in the face of Shi‘i sectarian infighting.
In a dispatch posted at 9:19pm Baghdad time Thursday night, the Association of Muslim Scholars of Iraq (AMSI) reported that the puppet authorities in the city of ad-Diwaniya, 180km south of Baghdad, declared a curfew starting at 7pm local time Thursday afternoon and lasting until 6am Friday morning.
The AMSI reported a puppet police spokesman in the city as saying that the lockdown was prompted by a “deterioration of security” in ad-Diwaniyah where a number of political and religious figures and officers in the puppet security forces have been gunned down recently. The spokesman said that the curfew was designed to prevent further losses to the puppet security forces and to forestall fighting between rival Shi‘i sectarian groups battling for control of the city.
Local leader of Fadilah party gunned down in ad-Diwaniyah as rival Shi‘i sectarian collaborationist parties battle each other for control of southern Iraq.
In a dispatch posted on its website Thursday, Quds Press reported that armed men shot and killed Shaykh al-Budayri, the Imam of the Ansar al-Fadilah organization and a prominent member of the Shi‘i sectarian al-Fadilah (Virtue) party in the city of ad-Diwaniyah, 180km south of Baghdad on Wednesday night.
Quds Press reported a source in the puppet security forces as saying that gunmen shot and killed al-Budayri in front of his home in the an-Nahdah neighborhood of the city at 9pm local time Wednesday evening. The attackers sprayed him with machinegun fire, killing him instantly, and then fled the scene.
The source said that five bullets ripped through al-Budayri’s body badly mangling it. It was the first time that a member of the Fadilah Party had been assassinated in ad-Diwaniyah where fighters for the Jaysh al-Mahdi Shi‘i sectarian militia have been battling American troops and the puppet security forces, most of whose members in the city are drawn from rival Shi‘i sectarian parties such as the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council and al-Fadilah.
Until March this year, the Fadilah Party was a member of the dominant Shi‘i sectarian political coalition known as the “United Iraqi Alliance (UIA)” that controls the puppet regime in Baghdad and includes the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council, the Da‘wah Party, the Muqtada as-Sadr Movement, the Iraqi National Congress of Ahmad Chelebi, and other Shi‘i sectarian groupings. But on 7 March 2007, the Fadilah Party announced it was pulling out of the UIA, which it criticized for carrying out excessive sectarian bloodshed.
Immediately thereafter, the main groups within the UIA − the Badr Brigades of the SIIC and the Jaysh al-Mahdi of the Muqtada as-Sadr movement − launched campaigns throughout southern Iraq to drive the Fadilah party out of the local power centers it occupied, sparking protracted turf wars in al-Basrah and ad-Diwaniyah.
