| US positions in northern Iraq hit by missiles |
| 2003-03-27 |
| The US forces, deployed in northern parts of Iraq, are targeted by missiles, said an Iraqi spokesman Hazem al-Rawi in Baghdad on Thursday. Al-Rawi told a press conference that Iraq had fired 44 Tariq missiles and seven Raad missiles on US forces in northern Iraq. He did not mention any damage or casualty as well as exact locations of the targets, saying Iraq had predicted the spots the forces would infiltrate. He said the so-called `Qods Army' voluntary forces were engaged in battle with the coalition forces in the south of Iraq. He added that Qods army with the capacity of about seven million volunteers has been formed to operate in Iraq as the second major resistance force after Intifada Second squad of Palestine to strive for liberation of noble Qods. I don't think that last sentence makes any sense... |

| #5 I suppose those would be 44 "Tariq Aziz" missiles and 7 "Where's Raed" missiles? Something always seems to be lost in the translation.... heh! |

| #4 He did not mention any damage or casualty as well as exact locations of the targets, saying Iraq had predicted the spots the forces would infiltrate. Uh huh. If they did predict the locations, it seems to me they would have had forces nearby waiting, instead of firing missiles. He added that Qods army with the capacity of about seven million volunteers has been formed.... In Saddam's Iraq, the vast number of army personnel aren't likely to be "volunteers", at least not after Gulf War I. |

| #3 Qods = Jerusalem. I translate this as the Jerusalem Army of 7 million volunteers was formed as a backup in Iraq to the Intifada Second squad of Palestine striving to liberate noble Jerusalem. Maybe they planned to all go help their buddy Yasser kick the Jews out. They just never got around to it. |
