Baghdad.
Iraqi Resistance rockets blast into biggest American arsenal in Iraq setting off unprecedented explosions, illuminating Baghdad sky just before midnight Tuesday.
In a dispatch posted at 12:30am Makkah time Wednesday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while earlier Iraqi Resistance forces had attacked and blown up the largest US weapons arsenal depot in the American General Headquarters in the south of Baghdad.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the arsenal, located in the as-Saqr Base in the south of Baghdad is the main supplier of equipment to the US forces. It came under Resistance rocket attack late on Tuesday night. At the time of reporting, mountains of American arms and ammunition were continuing to explode in the sky in a huge fire unprecedented in Baghdads history.
In response, US aircraft hysterically rocketed and bombed various parts of the city, the correspondent reported, trying to knock out the launch sites of the rockets that blasted into the American arsenal.
A source in the Iraqi puppet regime told Mafkarat al-Islam that the Resistance blasted the American arsenal, known as Camp Falcon, with Grad and Katyusha rockets.
The source admitted that dozens of Americans had been killed or wounded in the blasts that were still ripping the American arsenal apart. The source said that the US forces were unable to do anything to stop the massive inferno of flame and explosions that was lighting up the Baghdad sky like fireworks.
Reuters reported the puppet regimes Iraqiyah television network as showing pictures of a huge fire lighting up the night sky. Reuters reporters in central Baghdad heard more than 30 explosions, which began at about 11pm local time Tuesday night.
The puppet Iraqi Interior Ministry said the explosions had rocked three neighborhoods close to Forward Operating Base Falcon in the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah.
US aircraft attack districts in Baghdad around midnight Tuesday Wednesday.
In a dispatch posted at 11:55pm Makkah time Tuesday night, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that US warplanes were at that moment attacking several areas in the heart of Baghdad.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the American rockets were setting off thunderous explosions in the al-Bayya Bridge area and the al-Amil neighborhood of the occupied Iraqi capital.
A short while earlier, a US fighter-bomber rocketed a house in the as-Sayyidiyah area of Baghdad. No further details were immediately available on the nature or extent of casualties because the nighttime curfew was in force when the Americans attacked.
In yet another attack, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported that the headquarters of the puppet Iraqi Interior Ministry Shock Troops (Maghawir) in the ash-Shurtah ar-Rabiah district were at that time under fierce bombardment and were on fire. American helicopters were swarming over the area, the correspondent reported.

Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Wednesday, 11 October 2006
Nine huge American transport planes unload casualties from devastating Resistance strike on US Falcon Base in Baghdad just before midnight Tuesday, indicating heavy American losses.
In a bulletin posted at 2am Makkah time before dawn Wednesday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported its correspondent in al-Habbaniyah as saying that the US military hospital at the massive American-occupied air base there had begun to receive dead and wounded personnel from the devastating Resistance rocket assault on the US Falcon arsenal in the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah. Just before midnight Tuesday, the Iraqi Resistance fired barrages of Katyusha and Grad rockets into the arsenal, the largest such facility in occupied Iraq, causing the ordnance to begin to explode. Western news reports stated that the blasts continued for hours lighting up the nighttime sky over Baghdad.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported at that hour that three huge US transport aircraft emblazoned with the red cross had flown into the base, and casualties were being unloaded and sent into the hospital at the al-Habbaniyah base, located some 70km west of Baghdad.
Later, in a dispatch posted at 2:45am Makkah time Wednesday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that two more huge transport planes had arrived in the US-occupied al-Habbaniyah airbase, 70km west of Baghdad carrying casualties from the devastating Resistance assault on Americas Falcon Base in the US-occupied as-Saqr (Falcon) Forward Base in Sukkaniya located in the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah.
The al-Habbaniyah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses in the village of al-Bu Mari, about 2km from the US-occupied air base, as saying that as of that time, a total of five enormous transport planes had flown into the base emblazoned with the red cross. The transports came in under fighter escort, the fighter planes remained aloft circling al-Habbaniyah as the transports set down.
The witnesses said that the US occupation forces illuminated the base something they do not normally do as swarms of American helicopters prowled the skies around the area, trying to prevent Resistance rocket attacks.
Then in a dispatch posted at 5:15pm Makkah time Wednesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that at 7am Wednesday morning the last of a total of nine huge transport planes had landed at the US-occupied al-Habbaniyah airbase, site of Americas largest military hospital in the country, during the night.
The al-Habbaniyah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the transport planes continued to land and take off all night and into Wednesday morning ferrying back and forth under fighter escort from Baghdad loaded with dead and wounded Americans.
The correspondent reported eyewitnesses as saying that the aircraft did indeed fly into al-Habbaniyah from Baghdad. The huge transport planes arrived over al-Habbaniyah with fighter escort and then would break away from the warplanes land at the airfield and then take off again after about 20 minutes.
A source in the Iraqi puppet army told Mafkarat al-Islam that the US forces transported more than 90 Iraqi puppet troops to hospital for treatment after the blasts began to shake the southern part of the city. This number was confirmed by Dr. Umar Abdallah ar-Rawi of ar-Ramadi Hospital who told Mafkarat al-Islam that 90 wounded Iraqi troops were brought to us late in the night. He indicated that the Americans requested his hospital to clear a wing for them and they did so.
Residents of al-Habbaniyah agreed that nine massive transport planes arrived at various times during the night and into the morning bringing casualties to the US military hospital at the base. The first three planes arrived at 1am local time, witnesses said. The fourth plane landed at about 1:30am, then a fifth about 10 minutes later. Then at 3:30am two more large transports arrived at al-Habbaniyah airbase, and the last two transports were seen coming in at 7am local time Wednesday morning.
Although the nighttime curfew is usually lifted at around 6am each morning, the correspondent reported that US forces only opened the roads and lifted the automobile curfew in al-Habbaniyah at 8am Wednesday morning.
In its announcements regarding the attack, US officials denied that the attack on the arsenal caused any casualties at all. Mafkarat al-Islam observed, however, that the landing of nine massive transport planes carrying US casualties was an important indicator that the number of Americans killed or wounded in the Resistance assault on Falcon arsenal was very substantial.
The new American military hospital in al-Habbaniyah, reportedly the largest in occupied Iraq, was opened on 12 May this year in response to rising US casualties.
Baghdad.
Remains of US Falcon arsenal described as burned out wasteland with no buildings. US helicopters dump water on site during the day Wednesday to extinguish last flames. Puppet officials estimate US losses could exceed US$1 billion.
In a dispatch posted at 4:15pm Makkah time Wednesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a source in the puppet Iraqi Defense Ministry had revealed that US forces and their Iraqi puppet allies would begin clearing and cleaning away the US Forward Base Falcon (as-Saqr Base) in Sukkaniya in the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah on Wednesday.
The puppet Defense Ministry source told Mafkarat al-Islam that the base would never return to the way it had been prior to the attack and that it was now a burned out wasteland with no buildings.
The source said that at the present time US helicopters were pouring water intensely on the remains of the arsenal to make sure that the last flames of the fire were finally extinguished. Earlier on Wednesday, US forces announced that the fires were still burning in the arsenal which the Americans admitted was the biggest in Iraq and which they acknowledged had been destroyed. The US military claimed that the devastating explosions that lasted for hours and lit up the skies over Baghdad caused no casualties.
Losses could top US$1 billion.
In a dispatch posted at 4pm Makkah time Wednesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi puppet officials expected that the losses sustained by the US military as a result of the destruction of the Falcon Arsenal would total more than a billion US dollars.
The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Major General Bilal Ahmad al-Ithawi, an adviser to the puppet Iraqi Defense Minister for transport and supply, visited ad-Durah on Wednesday morning and said that the attack had inflicted enormous losses on the US military that could total more than US$1 billion.
General al-Ithawi said that the Falcon base was the biggest US arsenal in central Iraq and was the launching point for US military operations. The arsenal contained more than 50 tanks; numerous artillery pieces; a landing strip for Chinook helicopters, some of which were parked there when the place exploded; in addition to armories containing weapons and ammunition. He said that all the buildings and furnishings of the base had been totally destroyed, and the archive records of the US troops was completely wiped out.
General al-Ithawi said however that the biggest fear among Iraqi puppet officials during the night was that the Americans might have stockpiled low grade nuclear arms or chemical weapons such as were used in the Second Battle of al-Fallujah in the base. Had such weapons been there, the death toll of Iraqi residents of Baghdad could have been in the thousands.
US troops seen hauling away at least 30 burned out tanks and armored vehicles from ruined Falcon arsenal.
In a dispatch posted at 11:15pm Makkah time Wednesday night, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that as of 5:30pm Wednesday afternoon Baghdad time, at least 30 US Abrams tanks and Bradley armored vehicles were known to have been destroyed in the devastating Resistance attack on the Falcon Arsenal in southern Baghdad.
The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses who lie in the ar-Rashid section of southern Baghdad as saying that the US had used 13 huge military transport trucks to haul completely charred American armored vehicles out of the remains of the American Falcon base. The US forces hid the burnt wreckage of the vehicles behind the vegetable wholesale market known as the Ulwat ar-Rashid Commercial Market.
Witnesses reported that about 15 minutes before sunset Wednesday, the procession of vehicles under US helicopter air cover and escorted by Humvees took the wrecked vehicles, estimated to number at least 22 to the back wall of the Ulwah. The Americans then set up a guard post to control access to the wrecked vehicles.
The Americans also set up a checkpoint 2km away where they confiscated cell phones with built-in cameras because travelers on their way to the village of as-Saidat would be able clearly to see the wrecked armored vehicles.
Meanwhile, residents of the al-Khadra neighborhood and a number of Iraqi traffic wardens told Mafkarat al-Islam that they had seen giant American trucks carrying charred US tanks. The witnesses said that the vehicles had no apparent damage to their external shells, as usually is the case when they are burned in the explosion of a roadside bomb or shoulder-fired rockets. Witnesses said that the number of burned tanks being hauled through their area was between eight and 12.
As of the time of reporting men of the American 4th Engineering Division were still working together with a cleanup unit of Iraqi puppet army to haul away wrecked US vehicles and other wreckage of the American base with the help of American helicopters and cranes.
US forces have completely blocked the road that runs by the ruined base. Residents of the al-Mahdiyah al-Ula section of the city whose houses are opposite the base reported that there were US vehicles that had been totally destroyed and were still inside the base waiting for the teams of cleanup troops to get to them.
The witnesses also told Mafkarat al-Islam that high-ranking American officials had visited the site during the first hours of Wednesday under very heavy guard.
Iraqi puppet army orders two regiments to move into southern Baghdad to fill gap left by decimated US forces.
In a dispatch posted at 10:20pm Makkah time Wednesday night, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the Iraqi puppet Defense Ministry had issued orders to two regiments of the Iraqi puppet army currently based in the city of al-Kut, 150km southeast of Baghdad in Wasit Province, to move out within 24 hours and take up positions in southern Baghdad.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the transfer of the forces was intended to fill the gap left by the heavy losses of US troops in the southern Baghdad area as a result of Tuesday nights devastating attack on the Falcon arsenal.
Thick smoke, the smell of gunpowder envelope Baghdad hours after Iraqi Resistance midnight rocket barrage destroys US Falcon arsenal in as-Saqr Base.
In a dispatch posted at 3am Makkah time before dawn Wednesday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that hours after the devastating Resistance rocket attack that ignited the US Falcon arsenal in the occupied as-Saqr Base in the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah, thick smoke was still rising into the sky over the occupied Iraqi capital.
The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that thick smoke was enveloped large swathes of the city. The distinct smell of gunpowder suffused the air in many parts of Baghdad, including ad-Durah, al-Bayya, al-Yarmuk, al-Amiriyah, the al-Amil neighborhood, al-Jihad, al-Mansur, Abu Dushayr, and many other places across the sprawling Iraqi capital.
The sky above was now black with smoke, the correspondent wrote, having been clear earlier that nigh before the Resistance blasted the arsenal. About one-third of Baghdad was covered in smoke from the exploding American camp.
Resistance group Islamic Army of Iraq claims responsibility for rocket attack on Falcon arsenal.
In a dispatch posted at 11am Makkah time Wednesday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the Iraqi Resistance group the Islamic Army in Iraq had issued a communiqué taking responsibility for the devastating attack on the US arsenal at the as-Saqr (Falcon) Forward Base Tuesday night.
Al-Jazeera satellite TV, as monitored by Mafkarat al-Islam, reported the communiqué as saying that fire support units for rockets and mortars bombarded the base of the US occupying army with two Katyusha rockets and three mortar shells.
The communiqué, which al-Jazeera said had not been authenticated, said that the missiles by the grace of God landed amongst mountains of munitions and began to explode and throughout Baghdad the thunder of the explosions could be heard.
Resistance attacks reported throughout Baghdad Tuesday night.
The patriotic Iraqi website albasrah.net reported early Wednesday morning that the pro-American Badr Brigades had reported on their news service that in addition to blowing up the massive US arsenal in Sukkaniya Tuesday night, Resistance forces had also fought battles in the Baghdad district of al-Mansur. In addition, Resistance fighters blasted an-Nusur Square with mortars and attacked a puppet army checkpoint. An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded near a fuel station in al-Mansur and explosive devices were reported blasting targets in the Baghdad district of as-Sayyidiyah.
AlBasrah reported that the destruction of the American arsenal in Sukkaniya was the beginning of an Iraqi Resistance offensive.
