| Fallujah Rebels Captured and Executed 17 American Snipers On Top of Building |
| 2004-04-30 |
| From Jihad Unspun Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent on the ground with the Iraqi Resistance in Fallujah has provided further details ... about the execution of 17 American snipers atop a building in Fallujah by Resistance fighters during an American incursion into al-Jawlan neighborhood in the city. The correspondent writes that after the occupation forces violated the cease fire that had been signed on Sunday and attacked Fallujahâs al-Jawlan neighborhood, the occupation troops planted a number of snipers atop a villa overlooking the as-Saddah Bridge crossing the Euphrates River. The bridge links the city of Fallujahâs al-Jawlan neighborhood with the rural areas surrounding the city. The villa in question was a two-story structure going by the name âDouble Manyo,â and appears to have belonged to one of the wealthy residents of the city who left after the aggression began. The group of snipers on the roof of the villa had the job of covering the aggressor tanks as they advanced into al-Jawlan district. The snipers sowed terror and fear among the families and people of Fallujah who were crossing the bridge in their attempt to return to their homes. The snipers fired at the civilians as they crossed the bridge, killing and wounding a large number of women and children. The Iraqi Resistance threw back the American attempt to penetrate al-Jawlan, counterattacking the occupation troops and forcing the tanks to retreat before their blistering fire. The fightersâ waged an intense resistance with rocket-propelled grenades, and gunfire left the villa isolated and exposed, the 17 snipers on its roof cut off and stranded. About 35 Resistance fighters stormed up into the building, filling the beleaguered snipers with the terror of certain death. Their primary job was to serve as sharp shooters, not to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Resistance fighters. Besides that, they were no doubt in terror of the anger of Fallujah and its residents. The Resistance fighters lay into them, killing every one of them by slitting their throats, filled with intense fury over the way that the snipers had terrified and killed children and women despite the cease fire agreed to between the two sides. It should be noted that the website Mafkarat al-Islam (www.islammemo.cc) is the only media outlet that has a correspondent on the front lines of the battle in al-Fallujah, bringing live and precise information from the front line of the field of conflict. No other outlet, be it a newspaper or satellite TV company is covering this front line sector of the battle. Besides that, only one Arab satellite TV company, Al-Jazeera has been covering the humanitarian sides of the siege and aggression on al-Fallujah and the effect they are having on the residents of the city whose lives have turned to tragedy. Because of the pressures under which they operate, pressures exerted by the occupation forces and the occupation regime, Ak-Jazeera largely limits itself to the humanitarian side of the conflict offering only a relatively small amount of information on the actual fighting. Their efforts have had tremendous impact and deserve our thanks for exposing the crimes committed by the occupation forces against the civilians, women and children, who are not serving as Resistance fighters, contrary to what the aggressor occupation forces claim. |

| #22 I thought one sniper nailed 17 jihadis on a roof. AP says 1361 insurgents died in April, 731 in Fallujah. |

| #19 Sure, there have been 17 snipers in one place. I'm thinking it happened in Vegas, during a convention. |

| #17 Matt, that will be a day that fills me with happiness. It just chaps my fanny that these guys are increasing the risk to our troops. They feel no sense that these are their countrymen. Each time the media whines, more PC fighting rules are placed on our troops. That is getting some of them killed. Makes it hard to chill (my herbal tea is helping somewhat though). |

| #16 RM: Chill, brother. When I feel that way I just imagine the expression that's going to be on Wolf Blizter's face when he announces Bush's re-election in November. "CNN is now declaring that -- aw, hell, I can't believe this! Haven't you people been listening to me? What about the Halliburton contracts? Don't you know that Kerry served in Vietnam?..." |

| #15 I was watching CNN this morning at the gym and almost put my foot through the TV (which would have been a challenge as the toob is mounted about 7 feet in the air). They were getting comments from some old Iraqi men about the mistreatment of the prisoners. The old guys went on about the tragedy at Fallujah and how it was terrorism. Who gives a shit what some old Iraqi fart thinks, and how many said the "mistreatment" looked like Sunday School compared to Saddam's "mistreatment"...which they would never show. ARRRRRGH! I am pissed this morning. I want our guys to get this crap over with. Go in there and kill those bastards. Find the liars at at Jihad Unspun and hang them up by their short hairs. Pull the plug on that Al Jizz lie factory. I AM SICK OF THIS CRAP! Whew...rant over. Thank you for your time (and bandwidth Fred). |

| #14 Marines being afraid of close combat? These jokers never heard of pugils stick training, the bayonet course and the new MCMA being taught in boot camp and retaught on deployment. (MCMA = Marine Corps Martial Arts) |

| #10 Thanx. I'm feeling better, though still on drugs. I'm hoping to be back up to speed by tomorrow or Sunday. |

| #9 Yo, Fred! Welcome back! I've been so busy lately, I havn't had a chance to sit down and read a book, but I get my fiction fix from stuff like this. And unfortunately, from a lot of what the "mainstream" media puts out, and just about ALL of what the Dems spew. Not as interesting or believable as a good mystery, but I guess it will have to do. |

| #8 Looks to me as though the turbans are worried about the recent Al Hurra broadcasts. The last paragraph is a direct statement to that effect. |

| #5 We post the Jihad Unspun crap for a look at what the Bad Guys are saying and thinking. I wish TalibanOnline and Azzam were readily accessible and that Ummah News hadn't stopped operations a year ago. It provides a look into the Bad Guys' heads, though I'll admit it's not as satisfactory a look as the one we had inside Sheikh Yassin's... |

| #4 How about this piece of idiocy from them 2 days ago. They are living in an alternative reality, namely f*cked in the head |

| #3 almost? Jihad Unspun is interesting only in seeing what kool-aid they're feeding the gullible faithful. Note to bad guys: all snipers are dead - J.U. sez so! - go ahead and poke your little beturbanned pinheads up and have gunsex...it's safe! J.U. sez so! |

| #2 Interesting that they can't provide a single photo, or name from a dog tag, of the snipers they killed. It almost makes one doubt their credibility. |

| #1 Just curious as to why this 'jihad unspun' crap gets posted every day? I thought this was a news site, not a fiction site. |
