An Iraqi Resistance fida'i fighter drove an explosive-laden car into a patrol of three US amphibious armored vehicles in 'Amiriyat al-Fallujah on the road that links the suburb with the city of al-Fallujah to the north at 3pm local time Wednesday afternoon.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in the 'Ar'ar border complex area reported that US occupation forces together with a division of the Iraqi puppet army deployed in large numbers along the Iraqi-Saudi border three days ago. The Americans and the puppet troops expelled the settled Bedouin who live in that whole region, driving them out together with their herds of sheep. The occupation troops then set up military camps and aerial observation points there.
 
All that US military activity attracted the Iraqi Resistance who began their assault early Wednesday by mounting mortar attacks and followed that up with an attack of more than 30 Resistance fighters according to eyewitnesses.
 
Intermittent fighting lasted nearly two hours. In the course of it, one American helicopter was shot down and two American vehicles were destroyed. Three other armored vehicles were disabled by Iraqi Resistance shoulder-fired rockets.
 
The witnesses told Mafkarat al-Islam that American helicopters followed the Resistance men into the desert after they pulled out following their attack. The US aircraft managed to destroy a Nissan pickup that some of the Resistance fighters were driving. That attack left six Resistance men dead, the witnesses reported.

Residents of as-Saqlawiyah who witnessed the bombardment told the al-Fallujah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam that the Resistance attacked a house in the al-Bu Shajal area which the Americans had occupied and turned into a military encampment for themselves.
 
The mortar barrage destroyed a large part of the camp and left six US troops dead or wounded, three of them American snipers who had been posted atop the roof of the building, the witnesses said.

Iraqi Resistance forces mounted a double attack on a joint US-Iraqi puppet army force in the al-Ghazaliyah area of western Baghdad at noon Wednesday.
 
The Mafakrat al-Islam correspondent in Baghdad reported residents of al-Ghazaliyah who witnessed the attacks as saying that an Iraqi Resistance fida'i fighter launched the two-pronged operation by driving an explosives-packed car into a US military colum and exploding in its midst. That blast destroyed one American Humvee, killing or wounding the members of its four-man crew.
 
The Resistance then followed up with the second part of the attack by detonating a bomb among the Iraqi puppet troops who were coming to the aid of the Americans along a road leading to the scene of the car bombing. Those Iraqi puppet army troops had been in a patrol operating in support of the American force. The second bombing set fire to one Iraqi puppet army vehicle, killing or wounding four Iraqi puppet army troops.
 
Iraqis apprehend two Americans disguised as Arabs trying to detonate a car bomb in a residential neighborhood of western Baghdad's al-Ghazaliyah district on Tuesday.
 
A number of Iraqis apprehended two Americans disguised in Arab dress as they tried to blow up a booby-trapped car in the middle of a residential area in western Baghdad on Tuesday.
 
Residents of western Baghdad's al-Ghazaliyah district told Quds Press that the people had apprehended the Americans as they left their Caprice car near a residential neighborhood in al-Ghazaliyah on Tuesday afternoon (11 October 2005). Local people found they looked suspicious so they detained the men before they could get away. That was when they discovered that they were Americans and called the Iraqi puppet police.
 
Five minutes after the arrival of the Iraqi puppet police on the scene a large force of US troops showed up and surrounded the area. They put the two Americans in one of their Humvees and drove away at high speed to the astonishment of the residents of the area.
 
Quds Press spoke by telephone with a member of the al-Ghazaliyah puppet police who confirmed the incident, saying that the two men were non-Arab foreigners but declined to be more precise about their nationality.
 
Quds Press pointed out that about a month ago, the Iraqi puppet police in the southern Iraqi city of al-Basrah arrested two Britons whom they accused of attempting to cause an explosion in the city. The Britons were taken into custody by the Iraqi puppet police only to be broken out of prison by an assault of British occupation troops. That incident has created a tense relationship between the British and the local puppet authorities in al-Basrah, Quds Press noted.
