bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Haifa Baghdad Update Here is the fact : 50 of pro-Iranian Shi‘i sectarian gunmen killed in day of fighting Dozens of pro-Iranian Shi‘i sectarian gunmen killed in day of fighting as US forces team up with pro-Iranian sectarians to attack Baghdad neighborhoods and American and puppet forces begin new “Security Plan” targeting Sunni districts. In a dispatch posted at 9:27pm Makkah time Tuesday night, Mafkarat al- Islam reported that contrary to claims made by the Iraqi puppet regime and echoed by western media, the gunmen killed in heavy fighting in Baghdad on Tuesday were for the most part not Resistance men or local Sunni defense fighters, but pro-Iranian Shi‘i sectarian Jaysh al-Mahdi gunmen allied with the US occupation forces. The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported participants in the fighting who live in the area around Hayfa Street where the fighting took place as saying that only seven of the local Sunni neighborhood defenders were killed in the day’s fighting. Eight more of them were wounded. Spokesmen for the puppet regime claimed that 50 Resistance fighters and Sunni neighborhood fighters had been killed, but witnesses told Mafkarat al-Islam that other than the seven local fighters, the remaining dozens of dead were all Jaysh al-Mahdi sectarian gunmen. They pointed out that most of those died not on Hayfa Street, but were killed near the al-Bayruti Coffee House on at-Tala’i‘ Square near the notorious Buratha Mosque, a center used by Shi‘i sectarians to torture and murder Sunni Iraqis. Shaykh Sabah al-Karakhi told Mafkarat al-Islam that it was believed likely that there would be renewed attacks on the predominantly Sunni area around Hayfa Street. Shaykh al-Karakhi said that the puppet “Prime Minister” Nuri al-Maliki “is using the sectarian militias to strike the Sunnis and the Resistance, since his own military forces can’t do it.” The American Washington Post newspaper reported that US warplanes and helicopter gun ships attacked positions of the Iraqi Resistance around Hayfa Street as US troops backed up the assault carried out by pro- Iranian Shi‘i sectarian gunmen who are trying to purge sections of the Iraqi capital of Sunni residents in order to facilitate the partition of the country in keeping with Zionist and American plans. For its part, the regional hegemonic regime in Iran is seeking to secure its hold in Iraq by using Shi‘i sectarian leaders and organizations. It hopes to step into the shoes of the American occupation authorities whose grip on the country has been weakened by three years of increasingly severe Resistance attacks. To forestall Iran’s attempt to replace America as colonial power in Iraq, the Iraqi Resistance continues its battle against pro-Iranian as well as US and pro-US groups and facilities. In a dispatch posted at 12:59am Makkah time Wednesday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the puppet regime in Baghdad had launched its new “Security Plan” just minutes earlier – a plan it had announced several days earlier. The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that massive cement barricades were set down, closing the streets of the occupied Iraqi capital. The whine of helicopters prowling the skies at low altitude could be heard all over the city. Detachments made up of American occupation troops and Iraqi puppet forces – puppet police, army, and “Shock Troops” – together with pro- American Kurdish separatist Peshmergah gunmen and pro-Iranian Shi‘i sectarian gunmen were at that hour deploying throughout the streets. The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in western Baghdad’s al-‘Amiriyah district reported that the Americans and their allies had sent a large force into that area. The same was taking place in the predominantly Sunni districts of al-A‘zamiyah, al-Ghazaliyah, al-Mansur, al-Fadl, the southern suburb of ad-Durah, and the neighborhoods of al-Jihad, al-‘Adl, al-Jami‘ah, Nafaq ash-Shurtah, as-Salikh, Bab al-Mu‘azzam, and elsewhere. Resistance fighters attack puppet “Shock Troop” checkpoint in Baghdad late Tuesday afternoon. In a dispatch posted at 5:50pm Makkah time Tuesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while earlier, Iraqi Resistance men had attacked a checkpoint manned by puppet “Iraqi Interior Ministry Shock Troops” in the Baghdad district of al-Yarmuk. The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a force of between 15 and 25 Resistance fighters assaulted the checkpoint located at petrol stations behind the Ibn Taymiyah Mosque. Witnesses reported that seven puppet “Shock Troops” were killed in the attack and four more of them wounded. One of those killed was a captain. After the attack, US forces and Iraqi puppet police surrounded the area and began searching for the Resistance fighters who disappeared minutes after the assault taking the arms they found at the checkpoint with them.

In a dispatch posted at 3:13pm Makkah time Tuesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance forces fired two Katyusha rockets into a headquarters of the pro-Iranian Shi‘i sectarian Jaysh al- Mahdi militia in northern Baghdad on Tuesday morning. The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses as saying that the Jaysh al-Mahdi headquarters set up in what was formerly the building of the Fifth Branch of the Intelligence Service in al-Kazimiyah took direct hits from two Katyusha rockets. The rockets inflicted heavy damage on the building, killing or wounding a large number of the pro- Iranian gunmen inside, judging from the fact that numerous ambulances came and went from the facility after the attack. Resistance fighters ambush puppet “National Guard” column, killing seven. In a dispatch posted at 3:15pm Makkah time Tuesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance fighters mounted a violent attack on a column of puppet “Iraqi National Guard” troops in southern Baghdad on Tuesday morning. The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses as saying that Resistance men armed with medium machine guns and hand grenades assaulted a puppet “Guard” column on the highway to the southern suburb of ad-Durah. The witnesses reported that the intensity of the Resistance attack forced some of the vehicles in the column to flee. Two armored vehicles were unable to escape, however and all the puppet “Guards” aboard them – at least seven men – were killed. Resistance fighters ambush US patrol in al-Ghazaliyah Tuesday morning. In a dispatch posted at 3:41pm Makkah time Tuesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance fighters opened fire with RPG-7 rocket-propelled grenades on a US patrol in the western Baghdad district of al-Ghazaliyah Tuesday morning. The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses in the area as saying that the Resistance fighters opened up on the American patrol when it was on a bridge on the International Highway that runs by their area.

The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported a source in the Iraqi puppet police as saying that a group of Resistance fighters on foot staged a quick but violent attack on a US patrol in the al- Washshash area of central Baghdad. The Resistance men blasted the Ameicns with rockets, hand grenades, and medium machine gun fire and then left the area. Eyewitnesses said that the Resistance men took the US troops by surprise, giving them no chance to respond adequately. That enabled them to disable two American Humvees and kill or wound several of the US troops, they noted. source: http://www.albasrah.net/pages/mod.php? mod=art&lapage=../en_articles_2007/0107/iraqiresistancereport_090107.htm === -muslim voice- ______________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
