Iraq-Jordan
More Iraq Attacks, More Casualties Reported; Fallujah Still Under Seige
2004-10-08
Must be tough to stroke it with one hand and type with the other over at Jihad Unspun...
Resistance fighter's attacks continued to target American occupiers and their Iraqi collaborators all over Iraq Wednesday night and throughout Thursday. Here are some of the battles that took place in brief:
Dozens Of Iraqi National Guards Killed In Al-Latifiah, Anah
A resistance fighter driving an explosives filled Opel vehicle stormed the Iraqi National Guard Center near "Al-Museeb" area, south of Al-Latifiah, at the same time the guards are coming out of their center to be dispatched to their duty locations. Seventeen Iraqi national guards were killed. Meanwhile, an attack took place Wednesday at noon time, against an Iraqi National Guard center there which also houses Americans, in the city of Aanah, in western Iraq. At least 25 Iraqi national guards and 10 Americans were killed according to reports from Islam memo. Thirty nine others were reported wounded.
Heavy Fighting In Al-Qaim, Sadr City
An American armored vehicle struck a road side bomb in Al-Qaim, near the Syrian boarders. The vehicle was completely destroyed and an American officer perished inside of it. Shortly after the attack, the commander in that area, a higher ranking American officer, arrived on the scene accompanied by 5 armored vehicles and four jeeps. As the officer's convoy was driving by, a tractor trailer detonated on the side of the road. Two armored vehicles and one jeep were destroyed and there was no movement from troops inside following the incident, prompting the conclusion that they had been killed in the attack. Meanwhile, Jaysh Al-Mahdi attacked two American personnel carriers in Sadr City at about 5 PM, Baghdad time Wednesday. The group is reporting that eight American soldiers were killed and four others were wounded in their attack.
More Fighting In Tal-Afar And Mosul
Fighting erupted between resistance fighters and American occupiers on the road linking Tal-Afar and Mosul cities. Fighting started at 5:30 and lasted until 7:30 Thursday morning. Three armored vehicles were destroyed and all eleven on board killed according to Islam Memo. Fighting erupted again at about 1 PM when a car bomb exploded as an American column was passing by. Two armored vehicles were destroyed and an unknown number of US soldiers were killed in that attack. An American convoy consisting of two black armored Ford vehicles, the vehicle model believed to be used by CIA operatives, and four jeeps came under road side bomb attacks around 7:25 PM, Wednesday, near Hammam neighborhood in the city of Mosul. The first bomb attack destroyed a jeep and brought the entire convoy to a halt. Resistance fighters then open fired on the convoy, using rockets and automatic weapons. This well coordinated attack neutralized the entire convoy and its precision suggests that resistance fighters had specific knowledge of the travel plans of the convoy. Six American CIA operatives are rumored to have been killed inside the two Ford vehicles and other American soldiers killed in the jeeps however this can not yet be confirmed.
CIA operatives are even more dangerous to be around then Abraham's tanks. And where's that video by the way?
Twelve Resistance Fighters Martyred By An American Abatchi
We mean business now. We've broken out the dreaded "Abatachi".
American occupiers fired on two vehicles driven by resistance fighters killing 12 of them in Al-Kharagoul area, between Al-Yousifiah and Al-Latifiah, south of Baghdad. No other details are yet available.
Fallujah Still Under Seige
As of press time Friday morning, US military officials are reporting air strike in Fallujah, on suspected terrorist strongholds". Officials say the target was a safe house, where militants loyal to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi were believed to be meeting to plan more attacks however doctors in Fallujah say at least 10 people and wounded some 16 others, all civilians.

#3  Mike, tu, if you're going to post Jihad Unspun stuff, put a disclaimer or something at the top. That will keep blood pressures down all throughout the realm.
