3. Probably More so than Fox
Who knows? But what we DO know is that we are NOT being told the truth about anything. I certainly don't doubt it. Last night's news - a 3 HOUR BATTLE - and according to CNN - 1 Dead? Impossible to believe.

Iraqi Resistance Report for 26 April
Posted: 04/27
From: FAV


Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Monday, 26 April 2004. Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board, the Free Arab Voice. http://www.freearabvoice.org

(See below for important documents issued by the Baath Party on the Resistance!)

Monday, 26 April 2004.

Iraqi Resistance crushes US attack as battle resumes in al-Fallujah.

The Iraqi Resistance crushed a powerful American attack mounted against al-Jawlan neighborhood, according to Mafkarat al-Islam’s correspondent in the besieged city. The American assault began after sunrise on Monday and finally met its end as evening set in, the correspondent and eyewitness wrote in a report posted at 00:02 on the morning of Tuesday, 27 April 2004.

The Iraqi Resistance drove the US Marine invaders into a pincer, as it is called, within al-Jawlan. Then the Resistance violently attacked the rear lines of the American forces cutting the advanced forces off from the rest of the attacking force. As a result more than two-thirds of the entire force of Americans were cut off, and many of them were wiped out on the battlefield. The remainder were able to flee into neighboring houses, but the people informed the Resistance fighters about their presence and they were able to hit them there. As a result, the total number of Americans killed exceeded 30.

US Marine invaders attempted to break the ring around their offensive force but the fierce battle that ensued blocked any rescue. The first attack resulted in the destruction of one tank and the killing of all aboard, in addition to the destruction of two vehicles and the death of most of those aboard them when they came under Resistance gunfire.

The second attack cost the American side even graver losses. Three tanks were destroyed with rocket-propelled grenades, killing all aboard the vehicles. In addition an armored vehicle and four Humvees were destroyed, killing most of those inside.

Earlier coverage from al-Fallujah.

The US occupation commander in Iraq admitted that one American aggressor soldier was killed and eight others wounded, some of them seriously, as battle resumed in al-Fallujah between the US aggressor forces that have been besieging the city for 20 days, and Iraqi Resistance fighters defending the city.

Al-Jazeera’s correspondent in al-Fallujah reported that a US aggressor unit supported by helicopter gunships attempted to break into al-Fallujah through al-Jawlan neighborhood. Resistance fighters put up a strong defense and battles erupted also in ash-Shuhada’ neighborhood. As the battles resumed, many families who had left their homes in the city gathered in the vicinity of the city hoping for a chance to return to their homes.

Battle resumed in al-Fallujah despite an extension of the cease fire agreement on Sunday.

Iraqi Resistance downs Apache helicopter over al-Fallujah.

Mafkarat al-Islam’s correspondent in embattled al-Fallujah reported on Monday that the Iraqi Resistance in the city had shot down an Apache helicopter. Two US military vehicles and a tank were also destroyed. Eyewitnesses reported that the tank was entirely ablaze and all the American troops aboard had been killed.

The correspondent reports that the Resistance forces have been able to envelop the attacking aggressor troops in al-Jawlan neighborhood, flanking them on the north and west. At early Monday afternoon the battle still raged in the neighborhood, though a number of the aggressor troops had been forced to withdraw in the face of the intense fire of the Resistance fighters. The withdrawing Americans left behind a large number of dead and wounded, and also had to abandon a group of sharpshooters who were able to concentrate in one building in the city, but then found themselves surrounded.

Resistance fighters butcher 17 US snipers.

Shortly after filing the above report, Mafkarat al-Islam’s correspondent reported that Iraqi Resistance forces had killed all 17 American sharpshooters who had been encircled as they sat atop a building inside al-Falujah’s al-Jawlan neighborhood on Monday morning.

The American attack on al-Jawlan neighborhood killed a large number of Iraqi women and children who were on their way to their homes having returned with other refugees displaced by the US siege who were taking advantage of the cease fire violated by the latest US attack.

The group of US Marine invader sharpshooters was surrounded after their comrades withdrew under blistering Resistance fire. After the sharpshooters were stranded, Iraqi Resistance stormed the building took the sharpshooters captive and then butchered the aggressors one by one. Their bodies were hurled from the roof of the building amidst the triumphant calls of Allahu akbar! (God is greatest!) by the people who had endured days of terror at the hands of American snipers shooting anyone who ventured into the streets regardless of sex or age.

Two US aggressor troops reported killed in bomb blast in Baghdad.

Two US aggressor troops were reported killed and five others wounded when a bomb exploded as a US military convoy was passing Monday morning through al-Waziriyah neighborhood in Baghdad. Local residents reported that rockets were fired at American Humvees setting at least four ablaze. Columns of thick smoke rose over the area of the Resistance attack. Aggressor troops cordoned off the area and helicopters prowled the skies above. Ambulances showed up on the scene and eyewitnesses reported.

Reuters reported residents near the scene of the Iraqi Resistance attack as saying that they had found identity cards belonging to members of an American team searching for “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq.

Clashes in ad-Diwaniyah.

The Spanish Ministry of Defense announced that its aggressor troops had killed five Iraqi Resistance fighters and captured seven others in clashes that occurred, Madrid claimed, after Spanish occupation troops came under attack by the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia that is loyal to Shi‘ite religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr in the city of ad-Diwaniyah.

US aggressors, Shi‘ite militia clash on outskirts of al-Kufah Monday evening.

Battles broke out on Monday evening between the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia, loyal to Shi‘ite religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr, and US aggressor troops at the northern entrance to the city of al-Kufah, according to Agence France Presse (AFP).

Jaysh al-Mahdi militiamen posted on a bridge at the entrance to the city battled the US aggressors who sought to cross the strategic objective and advance into the city, according to AFP. The Jaysh al-Mahdi reported that US forces opened fire on the observation point on the bridge killing and wounding an unspecified number of militiamen. In response the Jaysh al-Mahdi destroyed two American military vehicles.

AFP reported that dozens of Jaysh al-Mahdi militiamen were deployed in the fields adjacent to the main road and members of the militia were also seen leaving an-Najaf on their way forward to al-Kufah, 10km away, to bolster the front lines there.

A US aggressor source said he had no information about fighting around al-Kufah.

US aggressor forces enter an-Najaf to replace Spanish invaders.

American occupation troops entered the city of an-Najaf on Monday to replace withdrawing Spanish aggressor forces. An official source in the US military said that American troops were prepared to leave the city and that their arrival was not an attack but simply an effort to secure the hand over by 200 US soldiers of the camp compound that the Spanish aggressor troops were to abandon as they leave Iraq in coming days.

Explosions rock an-Najaf on Monday night.

Eyewitnesses reported on Monday night that explosions reverberated in the area of the city of an-Najaf in southern Iraq, shaking the downtown section of the city. The witnesses added, according to Reuters, that the explosions followed clashes between the Jaysh al-Mahdi Shi‘ite militia and US aggressor forces in the city.

British aggressor soldier wounded.

An Iraqi Resistance roadside bomb exploded in the southern city of al-Basrah as a British military convoy of six vehicles was passing. One British aggressor soldier was wounded in the attack.

Bulgarian President on tour of aggressor troops comes under Iraqi Resistance attack.

Bulgarian military sources reported that the motorcade of the Bulgarian President Georgi Parfanov, who is on a surprise visit to Bulgarian aggressor forces in Karbala’, came under attack by Iraqi Resistance forces.

The Bulgarian president’s bodyguards returned fire at the attacking Resistance fighters, but the fighters left the scene unscathed.

The Green Brigade threatens to kill three Italian mercenary hostages.

Al-‘Arabiyah TV broadcast a videotape showing three Italian hostages being held by the Iraqi Resistance group known as the Green Brigade. Al-‘Arabiyah stated that the Green Brigade had pledged to kill the hostages during the next five days if the Italian people do not protest the Italian aggressor presence in Iraq.

The three hostages were shown wearing Iraqi dress and eating a meal. They appeared to be in good health. The Green Brigade said that it would release the hostages if there are demonstrations in Italy against the Italian regime’s aggression in Iraq.

The Green Brigade said on the tape that the Italians were taken hostage because they had been engaged in espionage against Iraq.

11. Thanks for this report
no wonder even Fox News is wondering if the US is in trouble. I think things are much worse than they are reporting - and they know it.

8. I read these same reports elsewhere last night
I think Rense is just copying them from the various 'Iraq resistance reports' published around the net.

Before anyone discounts them entirely, I would say that nearly every time I read a report from these sources, I find it has some basis in reality (ie., an attack really did seem to occur there, etc...).

The only question I have is whether all the US troops they report 'killed' were actually dead, or just wounded. I've been getting the impression that a lot of the time in these reports, the US troops reported dead may be badly wounded instead (and the resistance fighters undoubtedly don't always stick around to verify).

4. I'd be shocked if the Army was handing out hallucinogenics.
But I have no doubt that it's a bad acid trip.

Bulgaria says its troops are unprepared for fighting in Iraq. “Bulgaria's troops were unprepared for the kind of fighting they are doing in Iraq and need ‘immediate and substantial military backup’ from the U.S.-led coalition, the Bulgarian president said Tuesday. President Georgi Parvanov also demanded that the 485-member Bulgarian battalion be relocated to a new camp outside Karbala by June 30, the deadline for transfer of power to the Iraqi people.” Parvanov just returned to Sofia from a visit to the Bulgarian troops in Iraq where his car was ambushed by insurgents. I also suspect his officers gave him an earful.

US Army provides security for security contractors. “During the weeks he was in Tikrit, Fowler said, they were getting office space and equipment ready. ‘Basically, we were putting together our headquarters,’ he said. ‘We were the management group for the Tikrit office (and) the supervisors for the Tikrit region.’ Fowler said they had to stay on the Army base. ‘We couldn't leave without Army escorts and they were fairly busy, so it was even harder to get escorts to go off base, and the day we did, we went down to the police station,’ Fowler explained.”
