Iraqi Resistance Report

Sunday, 8 May 2005 from Charlievictor

Al-Anbar Province.Ramadi. Sunday was the second day of a civil disobedience campaign which religious leaders called for in sermons to protest against the continued US occupation. The protests were prompted by continuous provocation by invader troops and their stooges, and continued campaigns of arrests of local residents. The Americans hold so many people that now the city is like a Guantanamo in Iraq, in reference to the notorious prison camp where American jailers operate outside US law and that of the rest of the world.
Anbar University has been frequently raided by US occupation troops who have randomly arrested numerous university students, none of whom has been charged with any "offense." Ramadi Hospital has also been frequently raided by US forces, searching for "wanted" individuals among the patients. In the course of such raids, the Americans smashed equipment and apparatus, and blasted down doors in the hospital, infuriating local people. Schools and government offices remain closed in occupied Ramadi, bringing much of the normal life in the city to a halt.

Hit. Resistance fighters, armed with pipe rockets and anti-personnel rocket-propelled grenades attacked two black GMC vehicles from the American 'Ayn al-Asad base, carrying Zionist Mossad agents and American employees of a "security" company supplying mercenaries to the US occupation command. The two cars were destroyed and nine foreigners in civilian clothes were killed. Identity papers captured in the attack confirmed that four of the dead were Zionist Mossad agents, four were Americans, and one was Australian.

Baghdad. An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded in the Abu Ghurayb area, destroying one US Humvee military vehicle and killing four American troops. The bomb had been planted near the Abu Munaysir Bridge and went off when a column of seven US Humvees passed by. US forces removed the bodies and the wreckage after shutting down the highway, forcing local traffic to take a dirt road nearby instead - a road where there are frequent Resistance attacks on the occupation troops.

An Iraqi Resistance roadside bomb exploded by a column of US trucks on the highway in the suburb of Durah setting one American truck ablaze, killing one US soldier and wounding another.

Three masked Resistance fighters opened fire with machine guns and killed the General Director for plan implementation at the puppet "ministry of transport and communications" and his driver in an attack in southern Baghdad as he was on his way to work. The attackers left the scene unscathed.

Iraqi puppet "national guards" raided the Duyuf ar-Rahman Mosque. They opened fire inside the mosque and arrested Shaykh Majma'i, the Imam and preacher in the place of worship. The Board of Muslim 'Ulama', said that the puppet guards used foul language to insult and demean Shaykh 'Ata who is a member of the Board of Muslim 'Ulama'[Scholars], the highest Sunni religious authority in occupied Iraq.

Suwayrah. 'Ali Rida, a deputy of the pro-American Shi'i religious authority 'Ali as-Sistani was shot as he was leaving his home to go to a nearby Shi'i Husayniyah place of worship. US and puppet forces surrounded the scene. No party claimed responsibility.

Hillah. An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded next to a Polish foot patrol in the vegetable market killing two Polish occupation soldiers and wounding four. Polish aggressor troops surrounded the area and launched a campaign of raids in the vegetable market and the shops in it but found nothing.

Ba 'qubah. Iraqi Resistance forces fired six heavy caliber mortar rounds at a US checkpoint set up in front of the ar-Razi General Hospital, causing heavy damage to the position, killing and wounding several US troops. American helicopters rushed to the checkpoint and evacuated the casualties. US forces, as usual, closed all roads leading to the scene of the attack and carried out air sorties over the city.

Bayji. An Iraqi Resistance martyrdom fighter in an explosives-laden car drove into a column of six US troop transports destroying one troop carrier and disabling a second, killing five US soldiers and wounding six.

Mosul. A high-explosive Iraqi Resistance roadside bomb destroyed one Humvee, and killed four American troops. US forces encircled the area and called in an Apache helicopter to evacuate the bodies. The Americans had to admit the attack, since it took place in a crowded area and was thus common knowledge.

An Iraqi Resistance car bomb exploded by a column of six US military vehicles. The car bomb, parked by the side of the main road destroyed an armoured vehicle and killed five US troops and wounded two. US forces launched a campaign of raids and searches in the neighborhood, arresting three local civilians.

By what right do the American people send their troops armed with deadly weapons to occupy other people's countries and kill them?
