Fallujans slam US raids
Friday 03 September 2004

Residents of Falluja have taken to the streets after Friday prayers to denounce the continuous bombing of their homes and to support their city's security forces.

Hundreds of protesters condemned the killing of civilians by US warplanes, calling US air raids a cowardly action and calling on US soldiers to fight them on the battlefield.

"Air strikes are cowardly. Get down and face us on the battlefield," the crowd chanted.

Shaikh Abd Allah al-Janabi head of the Mujahideen Consultative Council addressed the crowd, warning that if war erupts again it will likely last till the last man standing.

"This war will be over, only with their dead bodies or ours, and, if they want it like this, welcome to death," he said.

On Wednesday, a US aerial assault targeted what the Department of Defence said was a Falluja safe house for "wanted terrorists". However, Falluja hospital sources said 20 people, including women and children, were killed in their homes.
