Balad (Iraq)
Lone Resistance fighter mows down US troops in Balad before falling a martyr (shaheed - insyaAllah).
An Iraqi Resistance fighter, armed with a Russian-made JC42, single-handedly attacked a US column of 15 soldiers on foot in Balad � a city near Tikrit north of Baghdad. The attack, which took place on the road leading to the old part of the city, began when the fighter opened a hail of fire on the Americans, killing six and wounding four more, one of them seriously. US troops then returned fire, tearing the Resistance fighter�s body to pieces.
Local eyewitnesses said that the fighter sat on the sidewalk with a big bag containing his weapon as he waited for a US patrol from 9am until 1pm when they finally arrived. The witnesses said that when he opened fire, his cries of �Allahu akbar!� [God is greatest!] resounded over the roar of the bullets.
After the attack, US forces encircled the area and evacuated their six dead and four wounded. American troops then pulled up in their vehicles next to the dead Resistance fighter. They got out and, first one then a second opened intense fire into the body of the martyr. Then a third American urinated in front of everybody on the body of the freedom fighter while screaming loudly and hysterically so that everyone in the area could hear.
After the US troops left, the local people scooped up the mutilated body of the martyr from the middle of the road and took him first to the hospital and then to the martyrs� cemetery west of Balad where he was buried. The correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam spoke with one of the doctors who received the body of the fighter. That physician told the correspondent that they had removed 63 bullets from the body, most of them from the head and chest.
