Iraqi Resistance Report

Wednesday, 11 May 2005. From Charlevictor

Anbar Province, Al-Qa'im. More than 40 US Marines were killed in bloody battles with the Iraqi Resistance in the villages of Rummanah and Karabilah. Iraqi Resistance forces at dawn mounted a fierce rocket attack on US positions on the outskirts of the villages, killing and wounding dozens of American troops. After the attack, US troops stormed into the houses of local people to sleep there, using the civilians as human shields.

The Iraqi Resistance announced their forces killed the notorious US General "Drinkwine", Commander of US operations in al-Qa'im, observing the situation of his military units in the area. His body was found among the crew of a US helicopter shot down in flames to crash over Rummanah village. The General's name "Drinkwine" seems to be a nickname, as American field commanders have taken to adopting names intended to intimidate or enrage the Iraqi Resistance and raise the morale of the American invader troops. Two days ago a US officer at a press conference in the American occupation HQ in the Republican Palace area of Baghdad, known to the Americans as the "green zone," introduced himself as "Bull" presumably not intended to reflect the officer's limited intellectual abilities or insensate brutality, but his supposed strength and courage. In another example, an American field lieutenant identifying himself as "Thunder" appeared in a communiqué by the 4th Marine Division in the al-Ba`aj area of Mosul in which the Americans boasted they would soon arrest Jordanian Islamist Abu Zarqawi.

Whatever the true name of the American general shot down and killed, he was the same American general who issued an infamous statement during the last American siege of al-Qa'im three weeks ago when he threatened the Iraqi Resistance saying, "we'll beat them even if Muhammad and Muhammad's Lord are with them."

US forces rocketed and destroyed the Great Mosque in the town of Ubaydi, east of al-Qa'im at dawn, claiming Iraqi Resistance fighters were inside. American F-16 fighter bombers fired three rockets into the mosque, causing extensive damage. The attack killed the mosque custodian, an elderly man aged 75, according to his son. Four other people in the mosque also perished. The American attack on the mosque comes amidst a large-scale US offensive on the people of al-Qa'im and surrounding towns.

Iraqi Resistance forces mounted a fierce bombardment of a US concentration point north of Karabilah destroying several US vehicles. Resistance fighters attacked the American position from the south and west, with medium range Katyusha rockets and 120mm mortars. A number of US vehicles were set on fire, sending up clouds of smoke.

Ramadi. An Iraqi Resistance explosives-laden Supra car bomb, parked by the side of the road, exploded by a column of three US armoured vehicles and two Humvees destroying one Humvee and disabling one armoured vehicle, killing four US troops and wounding four.

Hadithah. The US military ransacked and set fire to Hadithah General Hospital causing a humanitarian disaster that now looms over it. US troops, in the name of the American people, barbarously raided the hospital, destroying and burning large parts of the facility. The damage caused by the savage American raids on the hospital destroyed 90 percent of the building, bringing to a halt all of its health services to the population. The American troops smashed doors and windows, wrecked the kidney dialysis machine unit, damaged the maternity ward, and the operating room.
Director Dr. Ubaydi called "on all humanitarian organizations and people of good will to help re-equip the hospital, if only partially, since this was a central hospital where all difficult cases in the whole of western Iraq were brought for treatment." Dr. Ubaydi asked for urgent necessities, such as all types of medicines, especially those used for emergency cases, as well as material assistance in re-equipping the hospital after the devastation wrought by the American forces.

Hadithah. An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US patrol column of five US Humvees on the highway linking Hadithah with the city of al-Qa'im destroying one Humvee, killing three US troops and seriously wounding one.

Fallujah. An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded by a US patrol opposite the Dept of Civil Defense killing five US troops and wounding one. US forces surrounded the scene and opened fire around the area indiscriminately.

Baghdad. An Iraqi Resistance car bomb exploded outside a puppet police station in the southern suburb of ad-Durah, killing four and wounding dozens.

Tikrit. A car bomb blew up in the middle of a group of Shi`i workers who had been trucked in from the south, leaving 33 dead and 60 wounded. The Partisans of the Sunnah announced: "Today your brothers prepared a booby-trapped car and placed it on the square in the city through which pass dozens of apostate workers who work in the American base there. Those workers are a bunch of apostates have sold their religion and are content to be the servants and tails of the US Crusaders. We do not attack Muslim civilians or anyone who has no connection with this war . . . but we do target workers who work in an American base, helping the Americans who are shedding the blood of Muslims every day."

Mosul. An Iraqi Resistance martyrdom fighter drove an explosives-laden Mercedes car into a US armoured column destroying an armoured vehicle and killing four US soldiers and wounding two.

Kirkuk. Iraqi Resistance forces fired a barrage of medium-range Grad rockets and heavy 120mm mortars into the main US base destroying several US vehicles and killing four American troops and wounding nine.

Huwayjah. An Iraqi Resistance martyrdom fighter with an explosives belt strapped about him walked into a recruiting center for the puppet military and blew himself up, killing 19 and wounding 25 collaborators.

Samawah. Powerful blasts occurred according to the Japanese Kyodo Tsushin agency, which covers news of the Japanese aggressor contingent based in the city.

Basrah. Puppet security forces arrested four members of Basrah's Sunni community, including the Imam of the Qiblah Mosque and his son and an in-law, as well as the Muezzin of the Rahman Mosque.

A patrol of British troops entered the area to identify houses of Sunnis. The British were involved in a plot to stoke sectarianism in the country with the aim of splitting the Iraqi people on sectarian lines.

11 of the Sunnis arrested in the nearby town of Khasib were released after the invaders could find no evidence against them.
