| 2003-03-25 |
| US and British planes attacked Tovailah district in Iraq's Halabja city Tuesday morning three times. There were no reports of casualties or damage inflicted by the attacks. Several explosions were heared emanating from Iraq by residents of Paveh city, in the Iranian province of Kermanshah. Coalition forces bombarded positions of Ansar al-Islam, a group accused of having links with Al-Qaeda based in Iraqi Kurdistan, on Tuesday. A representative of Iraqi Kurdistan's Jamat-e-Islami in Iran's Kurdestan and Kermanshah provinces, Bahaoddin Barzanji, told IRNA that US-led coalition forces heavily bombarded the group's bases in Biyarah, Tovailah and Sargat regions. Again. I'm looking forward to seeing Ansar and the Jamaat both taken out... |

| #2 Here's your bloodlust:ARBIL, Iraq, March 25 (UPI) -- Iraqi Kurdish forces have repulsed an attack by Ansar al-Islam in an area near the Iranian border in a first such offensive since the Muslim hardliners' positions in northern Iraq was hit by a U.S. missile strike, a Kurdish official said Tuesday. Saadi Bira told United Press International that the Peshmerga forces of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, run by Jalal Talabani, repulsed Monday an attack by Ansar al-Islam which was believed to have links with al-Qaida. Bira, the PUK official in Arbil, said three of the attackers were killed during clashes that took place in Anab, a village near the Iranian border. He said the PUK fighters were ready to oust the Ansar al-Islam guerrillas from their strongholds in the villages of Bayara and Tawila. Additional reporting has stated that around 50 of the Ansar baddies have been waxed by the airstrikes. |
