９月１３－１６日のイラクの戦闘

　多すぎて読みきれるものではないが、これとて全てではない。
　
　なにしろ米国ですら抵抗勢力の１日の平均作戦回数が百回近いと認めているのであるから、とても全部を伝えられるものではない。
　
　アルジャジーラなども、まず米軍の負け戦は伝えない。

Four Apache helicopters gave cover to US assaults from the air.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent, himself sealed off on the street, reported that the US helicopters were firing at anything that moved in the street, and that so far they had shot dead 12 Iraqi civilians, including women and children.

Snipers were at work too from their perch atop the Saddam Medical Center building. Two children,10 -year old Muhammad and eight-year old Bikr, were killed with shots to the neck and head respectively. As he contributed his report, posted at3 :30pm Mecca time (4:30pm Baghdad time) the correspondent wrote that because of the intense American sniper fire, none of the local people dared approach the bodies of the two children that still lay in the street.

Resistance forces have refrained from returning fire at the US snipers for fear of hitting patients in the hospital.

American helicopters have dropped snipers on the rooftops of eight residential buildings in the area, each one of them some 16 stories tall. In other cases US troops have stormed into private homes, confined residents to specific rooms and taken over the rest of the house for use as sniper outposts.

In addition to the correspondent now encircled with the Resistance fighters, Mafkarat al-Islam also had two other correspondents covering the battle, one outside the US encirclement at the north end of the street, the second at the south end of the street.

Firefighters struggled to put out the blaze after the attack near Bayji, 155 miles north of Baghdad. Crude oil cascaded down the hillside into the river. Fire burned atop the water, fueled by the gushing oil.

Bayji is the point where several oil pipelines converge, said Lieutenant Colonel Lee Morrison of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

One of them apparently was a domestic pipeline that fed a local power plant. The explosion set off a fire that melted cables and led to the power outage, electricity officials said. “Bayji is the chokepoint,” Morrison told the US Associated Press (AP). “It's so easy to hit.”

Resistance captures Lebanese captain working with US troops in Iraq.

Iraqi Resistance forces captured a Lebanese officer working for the US aggressor troops on Wednesday morning near the Eighth Brigade west of ar-Ramadi, according to a correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam. The capture came as the Resistance fighters attacked a US patrol and disabled an American Humvee that the offier was driving. The other American vehicles fled as combat began. The Lebanese officer, a captain tried to flee on foot but was quickly captured.

The Iraqi Resistance is trying to arrange an exchange of prisoners: men such as these held by the Resistance for their own fighters imprisoned by the US invaders in their many concentration camps. One such prisoner exchange took place earlier in the year when 250 prisoners being held in the notorious Abu Ghurayb facility were exchanged for captives held by the Resistance in al-Fallujah.

Fierce fighting rages in ar-Ramadi US, south Koreans killed, captured.

Fierce fighting broke out on Thursday morning between Iraqi Resistance forces and US occupation troops in the city of ar-Ramadi west of occupied Baghdad. The local correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the fighting erupted at about7 :00am local time and was still raging when he filed his report, which was posted at12 : 55local time (11: 55Mecca time) on the Mafkarat al-Islam website. There have been several casualties among the joint US-south Korean forces, he reported.

At the moment of writing, American snipers were deploying atop buildings in the area of The 1920 Revolution Street and on the roof of the governorate building. For their part Iraqi Resistance sharpshooters have taken up various positions in defense of the city.

An informed source told Mafkarat al-Islam that during the last three days of combat, Resistance fighters had captured a number of US occupation troops and south Korean soldiers. The Resistance had also taken possession of a Humvee and driven it off to an unknown location.

Iraqi sources report that operations of the Resistance now being carried out in ar-Ramadi are of a different type than those mounted earlier. The Resistance in nearby al-Fallujah are blocking and smashing any American attacks forcing them to withdraw. But the Resistance in ar-Ramadi are waging a protracted war of attrition, they say, trying to draw in the occupation troops, giving them the illusion that they have won and then springing sudden surprise attacks on them that inflict large-scale losses in their forces.

The correspondent noted that the largest movement of US supply convoys and patrols are now those headed for ar-Ramadi.

Resistance rocket assault timed for changing of the guard yields large numbers of US casualties east of ar-Ramadi Thursday morning.

A large number of American troops were killed and wounded and more than eight US Humvees were destroyed when the Iraqi Resistance launched a surprise rocket attack on an American camp east of ar-Ramadi at8 :00am Thursday morning. The local correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the Resistance timed their attack to coincide with the changing of the guard and forces at the base that formerly served Iraqi special forces. Because of the timing of the attack, a large number of Americans were present and exposed when the powerful Grad rockets crashed into the camp.

At least 13 US troops reported killed in two Iraqi Resistance actions in the al-Fallujah area on Thursday.

At9 :00am, a US patrol in the village of Zawba’, south of al-Fallujah, came under an attack in which one Humvee was destroyed and three American troops killed and two others severely injured, lying on the ground for a long period of time, according to villagers who witnessed the incident.

At2 :00pm a series of bombs exploded under US column on the highway east of al-Fallujah. The explosives were extremely powerful and therefore were likely of the Austrian type – bombs made from the explosive material contained in artillery shells manufactured in Austria. Four Humvees were destroyed in the attack. Eyewitnesses were able to see 10 body bags carrying the corpses of US troops before the Americans drove them away from the scene of the attack a mere five minutes after it occurred. It is possible, therefore, that there were even more casualties in the attack
