Mujahideen Strike Devastating Blows Against US Forces in Iraq
From Jihad UnspunAmerica's troubles in Fallujah and the rest of Iraq continue unabated. Casualties on both sides are reported accurately and honestly by Mafkarat al-Islam and it is time for critics to take off the blindfolds placed on their eyes by America's propaganda machine. At least 400 American soldiers and countless of Iraqi puppets have been killed in the last few days alone in Fallujah and elsewhere. While the Americans have taken to the skies to transport cargo in an effort to reduce the losses they are incurring in ground transportation of supplies and foodstuffs, the Mujahideen are now becoming expert at shooting down American planes. Several American war planes, including an F-16 were shot down in the past few days and dozens of tanks and armored vehicles have been destroyed. Try as they might, the America has not found a solution to the fierce resistance they are encountering, not even through their use of chemical weapons. .... Sheikh Abu Asaad Al- Delaimy, a spokesperson for the Mujahideen in Fallujah has issued a communiqué detailing the outcome of fighting in the city for the last three days. According to Al-Delaimy, 350 Americans have been killed and 82 Mujahideen have been martyred. .... Al-Delaimy confirmed that 47 Americans were captured and they have been taken to an undisclosed location. Three Generals are said to be among the Americans captives. In addition, 243 Iraqi national guards have been captured. Al-Delaimy made it clear in his statement that captured soldiers are being treated according to Islamic laws and not according to The Geneva Convention. The Americans have sent a special envoy to talk to prominent figures in Fallujah to negotiate the release the three American Generals. Sources inside the resistance have now confirmed that some Mujahideen were captured by the Americans on 26 Ramadan when Americans used anesthetic gas to knock them unconscious. At that time, Mujahideen were not ready for these kinds of gases however since then, fighters are better prepared to deal with the chemical warheads being spewed by US occupation forces when they encounter stiff resistance. Mujahideen fired a Sam rocket at an F-16 flying over Al-Shuhadaa neighborhood in Fallujah on Tuesday. The aircraft took a direct hit and fell off the skies. Mujahideen also attacked a food-carrying trailer in Thiraa area, south of Fallujah around 14:30 Tuesday. The trailer was destroyed and 2 Americans on board were killed. Mujahideen continued to apply their strategy of vacating certain areas to lure Americans inside those areas to fight. The main purpose of this tactic is to neutralize America's air superiority. Mujahideen withdrew from Al-Wahda, Al-Askary, and Al-Industrial neighborhoods but the Americans refused to go into those areas except for Al-Askari, settling for aerial bombardment instead. This action by Americans led the Mujahideen to go back to those areas. The Americans decided to enter Al-Askari area at about 08:00 AM yesterday morning where the Mujahideen lay in wait for them. The Mujahideen used swords, knives, and other atypical weapons to battle Americans on the streets, 19 Americans were killed and 4 Mujahideen were martyred. ..... This tactic of close face to face combat has proven to be very effective in recent battles as it instills a great deal of fear in minds of US soldiers and levels the playing field, with more of this kind of warfare is expected. ....
