Large-scale US and Iraqi forces poised around four Sunni Triangle hotbeds
From Debka:DEBKAfile's military sources report: Large-scale US and Iraqi forces poised on battle readiness in offensive array Wednesday night around four Sunni Triangle hotbeds: Fallujah, Ramadi, Latafiya and Balad, awaiting order to launch major assaults. This was behind Interim Iraqi PM Allawi's ultimatum to Fallujah: hand over terror chief Zarqawi and his group or prepare for major military action. Earlier, Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad website displayed gruesome beheadings of two Iraqi intelligence officers. Allawi warned: We will not be lenient." Posted by: 3dc 2004-10-14 |
