U.S. Launches Assault on Rebel-Held Iraqi Town

52 minutes ago

By Luke Baker

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces have launched a major offensive on the rebel stronghold of Samarra after a series of horrific car bombings in Baghdad on Thursday that killed 41 people, mostly children.



Residents of Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, told Reuters by telephone that big explosions were shaking the city, one of several places where the U.S. military has vowed to wrest control from insurgents to enable elections in January.


The residents, speaking early on Friday morning Iraq (news - web sites) time, said there were more than two hours of air strikes and most residents were sheltering indoors.


CNN's reporter in Iraq, Jane Arraf, in a live broadcast from Samarra, said she was accompanying U.S. forces engaged in the attack, which she described as "an entire brigade-size operation into Samarra to root out insurgents."


Arraf said the forces, accompanied by Iraqi national guards, were moving "sector by sector through the city to secure it." Power had been cut off and her report was punctuated several times by what she said were explosions of rocket-propelled grenades and mortars.


The U.S. military has said it wants to retake Samarra, Falluja, Ramadi and the Baghdad neighborhoods of Sadr City and Haifa Street, which are in the hands of insurgents, by the end of the year to create the right conditions for the election.


In Falluja, 30 miles west of Baghdad, U.S. forces on Thursday destroyed a building they said was being used by fighters loyal to al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.


Iraqi doctors said at least three people were killed and eight wounded in the attack.


MANY CHILDREN KILLED


In one of the bloodiest incidents in the conflict, insurgents detonated three car bombs near a U.S. military convoy in Baghdad on Thursday. Most of the 41 dead were children rushing to collect sweets from American troops.


In two other attacks, a suicide bomber blew up his vehicle near a U.S. checkpoint outside the capital, killing two policemen and a U.S. soldier, and a car bomb killed four people in the restive northern Iraq town of Tal Afar.


A statement apparently from Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad group said it was behind the three attacks. The group has claimed responsibility for many of Iraq's bloodiest suicide bombings and the killings of foreigners taken hostage.


The Baghdad bombs went off as crowds gathered to celebrate the opening of a new sewage plant. It was not clear if the event or the passing U.S. convoy was the target.


The first explosion was followed by two more that struck those who rushed to help the initial victims, residents said.


Ten U.S. soldiers were wounded in the attack, two of them seriously, the military said. Iraq's Health Ministry confirmed 41 dead, 34 of them children, and 139 wounded.


In Washington, the Pentagon (news - web sites) said attacks on American troops had risen to around 80 a day from 40 a month ago and said September was one of the deadliest months since the war began 18 months ago.


It said at least 76 U.S. troops were killed in the month, reflecting a steady increase in American deaths since the United States transferred sovereignty to the interim Iraqi government headed by Prime Minister Iyad Allawi on June 28.


The conflict is dominating the run-up to the Nov. 2 U.S. election, including Thursday evening's first debate between President Bush (news - web sites), who insists progress is being made toward democracy there, and his Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), who calls the situation "chaos."

The violence has raised doubts about whether the January Iraq election can take place, but Allawi, speaking in London, pledged it would go ahead.

Sayyed Mohammed Bahr al-Uloum, a prominent cleric from the majority Shi'ite community, said the elections should be held as scheduled because they could help curb violence even if all areas could not take part.

He told Reuters in an interview that delaying the vote might suggest Iraq's interim government wanted to hold on to power.

Subject: 28 Palestinians Dead, 131 Wounded in Gaza

And hardly a word about this slaughter was even mentioned on the news. Ane when they do mention it, they always justify it as retaliation for the 2 Israeli children killed by the rocket fire from Gaza. They fail to mention that prior to the rocket attack, the Israelis killed 3 Palestinian children, ages 11, 13, and 17 that same day. And not a day went by during the last 2 weeks that the Israelis haven't been killing more Palestinians including the assassination in Syria.

28 Palestinians Dead, 131 Wounded in Gaza

By IBRAHIM BARZAK
.c The Associated Press

JEBALIYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israeli troops struck deep inside the largest Palestinian refugee camp Thursday, battling masked gunmen in an unprecedented campaign to stop deadly rocket fire on Israeli towns. Twenty-eight Palestinians were killed and 131 wounded, the bloodiest single-day toll in fighting in 30 months.

Three Israelis - two soldiers and an Israeli woman jogger - were killed in two Palestinian shooting attacks in northern Gaza.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon approved a large-scale military operation in the northern Gaza Strip after meeting with advisers late Thursday, an Israeli official said. The plan was a response to the killing of two Israeli children, ages 2 and 4, by a Hamas rocket attack on an Israeli border town Wednesday. However, he stopped short of ordering a call-up of reserves.

The plan, which has the backing of Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, was unanimously approved by the Israeli security Cabinet on Thursday night.

The approval clears the way for Israeli troops to move in force into the Palestinian towns of Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and the sprawling Jebaliya refugee camp, an official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The army's push Thursday into the center of Jebaliya - a first in four years of fighting - signaled a change in military tactics.

Since fighting erupted in 2000, the military has refrained from reoccupying large areas of crowded Gaza for long periods, for fear of getting bogged down in urban combat. The army has felt less constrained in the less densely populated West Bank.

Armored vehicles rolled into squalid Jebaliya, a militant stronghold with 106,000 residents, on Thursday morning. Throughout the day, masked Palestinians taking cover in camp alleys fired assault rifles - and occasionally anti-tank missiles and grenades - at tanks, which responded with machine-guns. Militants were seen laying explosive charges and unraveling detonation wire.

In the bloodiest incident, a tank fired a shell toward a group of gunmen, killing seven Palestinians and seriously wounding 23, including gunmen and civilians. Many of the wounded lost limbs, and at least four were under age 14, doctors said.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan expressed grave concern at the escalation of violence and ``especially mourns the death and injuries of children,'' U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said.

Kamal Adwan Hospital was overwhelmed by the influx, and doctors had to treat some patients on the blood-soaked floor and on cafeteria tables.

Ahmed Salem, 10, said the shell was fired from a tank at a U.N. school near Jebaliya's market. ``I was hit and fell to the ground. The man lying next to me had no head,'' said the boy, who was wounded by shrapnel in the leg.

Maj. Gen. Dan Harel, the army commander in Gaza, said the shell was aimed at militants who had fired an anti-tank shell at an armored personnel carrier, lightly wounding three soldiers. Harel said several Palestinian children were apparently nearby. ``We are very sorry that civilians are being hurt,'' Harel said, but accused gunmen of using civilians as a shield.

Palestinian militants have fired hundreds of rockets and mortar shells at Gaza settlements and Israeli border towns since 2000. Most attacks caused damage and minor injuries. There have been two deadly strikes, including Wednesday's hit on the border town of Sderot that killed two children as they played on the sidewalk in a quiet neighborhood at the onset of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

Continued rocket fire could turn public opinion against Sharon's plan to remove all settlers and soldiers from Gaza in 2005. His opponents argue a withdrawal would only encourage Palestinian militants to stage more attacks.

Palestinian militants have intensified attacks in recent months in hopes of portraying the Israeli withdrawal as a retreat under fire. Israeli troops, in turn, have stepped up military operations to pound militant groups before the pullout.

Israeli government spokesman Gideon Meir said Israel was forced to act after 11 previous operations in northern Gaza failed to stop the rockets. ``The purpose of a wider operation is to protect the Israeli civilian areas,'' he said. ``They (militants) want to show Israel is running out of Gaza under fire.''

Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat denounced the Israeli raid as ``a war crime and state terror,'' and said he feared all of Gaza would soon be reoccupied.

Israeli troops moved into northern Gaza Wednesday morning, several hours before the Sderot missile strike. By Thursday, they controlled the towns of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, as well as large areas of the Jebaliya camp.

Palestinian gunmen killed three Israelis - two soldiers and a woman settler - in two attacks in northern Gaza.

In one incident, two gunmen fired on an army observation post near Jebaliya, killing a soldier before being shot dead. Near the Jewish settlement of Elei Sinai, two attackers killed a woman jogger and an army medic who came to her aid. The gunmen were eventually killed by troops.

However, the heaviest fighting raged in Jebaliya. For the first time in four years of fighting, troops came close to the downtown market and set up two positions in the camp, one at a U.N. school and the second at a Palestinian police training center.

Army bulldozers demolished 22 homes along a relatively narrow road leading into the camp, U.N. aid officials said, apparently to widen it and allow more tanks to get through. Armored vehicles avoided the booby-trapped main street.

``A bulldozer entered our living room and demolished half the house,'' said Hussein al-Jamal, a resident of the camp's Block 2, adding that he and his family fled, along with many of his neighbors.

Thursday's deaths marked the highest one-day Palestinian toll since April 2002 when 35 were killed in the West Bank, during Defensive Shield, a major Israeli military operation.

More than 20 of the dead were killed in or near Jebalyia. In one incident late Thursday, troops fired a tank shell at a group of militants trying to launch a rocket-propelled grenade, the army said. Four men were killed, doctors said.

Of the 131 Palestinians wounded, 12 were in critical condition, doctors said.

A masked Hamas gunman carrying a rocket launcher said he expected Israeli soldiers to leave soon. ``Jebaliya will be a burial ground for their soldiers,'' he boasted. ``They will run away and we will stay.''

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces have launched a major offensive on the rebel stronghold of Samarra after a series of horrific car bombings in Baghdad on Thursday that killed 41 people, mostly children.

Over 100 Killed in U.S. Assault in Iraq

1 hour, 44 minutes ago

By ZIDAN KHALAF, Associated Press Writer

SAMARRA, Iraq - U.S. and Iraqi forces launched a major assault Friday to regain control of the insurgent stronghold of Samarra, trading gunfire with militants as they pushed toward the city center. More than 100 insurgents and at least one American were killed, an Iraqi minister said.



Troops of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division, Iraqi National Guard and Iraqi Army moved in after midnight to secure government and police buildings in the city 60 miles north of Baghdad. As they advanced, insurgents attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms, the military said.


Qasim Dowoud, minister of state for National Security, said more than 100 insurgents were killed and 37 others captured, including members of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s regime. No foreign Arab fighters were captured, he said. A CNN correspondent embedded with the 1st Infantry Division reported that an estimated 3,000 U.S. troops moved into Samarra and 109 insurgents were killed.


Operations were continuing but the city was virtually in government hands, Dowoud said. The main mosque, one of Iraq (news - web sites)'s holiest, had been seized, along with the city hall, a pharmaceutical factory and other installations, he added. Earlier, the Interior Ministry said Iraqi and U.S. forces controlled more than 80 percent of the city by Friday afternoon.


"We are working on the complete cleanup of the city from all those terrorists," Dowoud said, describing Samarra as an "outlaw city" that had spun out of control.


"We will spare no effort to clean all the Iraqi lands and cities from these criminals and we will pave the way through these operations not only for the reconstruction but also for the general elections."


Dr. Khalid Ahmed said at least 80 bodies and more than 100 wounded were brought to Samarra General Hospital, but it was not clear how many were insurgents.


One American soldier was killed and four were wounded, said Master Sgt. Robert Powell, spokesman for the 1st Infantry Division.


Smoke rose from an area around the Imam Ali al-Hadi and Imam Hassan al-Askari shrine, raising fears about one of the holiest sites for Shiite Muslims. But the shrine was not damaged and Iraqi forces had secured the site, said Maj. Neal O'Brien, another spokesman for the 1st Infantry Division.


"Coalition forces and Iraqi security forces will do everything possible to protect the valuable site from damage," he said.


Later Friday, the city appeared calm except for American snipers on rooftops of high buildings firing at anybody in the streets below.


Some residents had fled the city of 250,000 before the attack, but in small numbers because few were expecting the assault amid news of negotiations to resolve the crisis.


The push into Samarra appeared to be the start of a promised major offensive to retake several cities that insurgents have rendered "no-go" zones for U.S. and Iraqi troops. Officials have said recapturing those cities is key before nationwide elections scheduled for January.


The offensive came a day after a string of bombings across the country killed at least 51 people, including 35 children at a government-sponsored celebration to inaugurate a sewage plant in Baghdad.


Also Friday, U.S. warplanes and tanks attacked the vast Baghdad slum of Sadr City, killing 12 Iraqis and wounding 11 others, a hospital director said. The military said only one rebel was killed.


Samarra residents cowered in their homes as tanks and warplanes pounded the city. The sound of shelling mixed with the crackle of automatic gunfire. At least three houses were flattened and dozens of cars charred, residents said.


"We are terrified by the violent approach used by the Americans to subdue the city," said Mahmoud Saleh, a 33-year-old civil servant. "My wife and children are scared to death and they have not being able to sleep since last night. I hope that the fighting ends as soon as possible."


During the push, U.S. soldiers rescued a kidnapped Turkish construction worker held in the city. He was identified as Yahlin Kaya, an employee of the 77 Construction Company in Samarra.

U.S. and Iraqi forces blocked the roads into the city to prevent insurgents from moving in and out, O'Brien said.

As Iraqi forces secured the Samarra bridge, American soldiers saw insurgents in speedboats loading ordnance on the banks of the Tigris River, the military said. Soldiers fired warning shots and the insurgents returned fire, prompting U.S. forces to destroy the boats, killing their occupants, the statement said.

Water and electricity services were cut off, and troops ordered residents to stay off the streets as they moved from house to house in search of insurgents. A 7 p.m.-to-7 a.m. curfew was announced.

The military said insurgent attacks and acts of intimidation against the people of Samarra had undermined security in the city, regarded as one of the top three rebel strongholds in Iraq, along with Fallujah and Sadr City.

The Americans returned briefly on Sept. 9 under a peace deal brokered by tribal leaders under which U.S. forces agreed to provide millions of dollars in reconstruction funds in exchange for an end to attacks on American and Iraqi troops.

In recent weeks, however, the city saw sporadic clashes between U.S. troops and insurgents.

Masked gunmen carrying the flag of Iraq's most feared terror group, Tawhid and Jihad, surfaced in force in Samarra on Tuesday, staging a defiant drive through the streets.

The group, led by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility for bloody attacks in Baghdad on Thursday, according to a statement posted on a militant Web site.

The authenticity of the statement could not be verified, and it was unclear whether the three "heroic operations" it cites — attacks on a government complex and "a convoy of invading forces" — included the bombs that killed the children.

Al-Zarqawi's group has also claimed to have killed several foreign hostages seized in recent months in a campaign against the United States and its allies.

An unofficial French negotiator told a radio station that two journalists who have been held hostage in Iraq for more than a month could be released within hours. Philippe Brett told Europe-1 radio that he was with the two French hostages and that negotiations were being finalized for their release.

Christian Chesnot, 37, and George Malbrunot, 41, disappeared Aug. 20 with their Syrian driver while apparently heading toward Najaf. Militants calling themselves the Islamic Army in Iraq claimed responsibility, demanding that France revoke a law banning Islamic head scarves from state schools.

Brett is not an official negotiator for the French government. However, he has worked in Iraq for years, mainly through the French Office for Development of Industry and Culture, which he helped found.

In the southern city of Kufa, meanwhile, security forces prevented hundreds of Shiite Muslim supporters of radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr from entering a major mosque for Friday prayers — the first such action since the fall of Saddam Hussein last year. Police fired in the air to disperse the faithful, but there were no reported casualties.

Authorities have prevented worship inside the mosque since August clashes between al-Sadr's militia and U.S. and Iraqi troops in the nearby holy city of Najaf. Until Friday, however, they allowed them to hold prayers in a yard outside the shrine.

The clashes ended in late August with a peace deal brokered by Iraq's top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani. Since then, the cleric's office took control of the Kufa Mosque and the shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf, one of the holiest in Iraq.

The Rape of Palestine
By Jess Ghannam
Gaza, Palestine
Sep 30, 2004, 11:23


Yet again, Gaza is under siege. Israeli Destruction Forces have their
tanks, bulldozers, and troops in Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahiya, Jabaliya
Camp,
Khan Younis, and Rafah. Another 46 Palestinians have been murdered and
86
permanently injured. Homes have been destroyed, olive trees uprooted,
and
families torn asunder. Palestinians die a small death every time an
olive
tree is uprooted, every time a Palestinian is killed, and every time a
family is displaced. These Israeli sieges are systematic, calculated
and
opportunistic. The aim of these sieges is to promote the Zionist
Project
(sometimes referred to as “Occupation”) to completely cleanse Palestine
of its indigenous Arab rooted-ness, culture, and history. According to
this colonizing project, the land of Palestine should be free of
Palestinians and any reminder of its Palestinian past, present, and
future. The resistance to this project is, however, fierce, steadfast,
and continuous.


I was recently in Gaza for almost 2 weeks and witnessed the many faces
of
resistance, struggle, and freedom. I saw the faces of Palestinian
children coming home from school with back-packs filled with books and
homework--smiling, laughing, holding hands and saying, "see you
tomorrow,
my friend". I saw the families of these children welcoming them home
with
love in their eyes, despite their fears and anxieties. I saw
Palestinians
going to work, passing through hours of dehumanizing checkpoints trying
to eek out a living to support their families. I saw weddings in the
evening (about 18) and funerals in the morning (about 20). I heard the
call to prayer and the Friday sermon calling out to the families of the
brave defenders of Palestine who paid the ultimate price. And life goes
on. Our rooted-ness in Palestine goes on. Our history goes on.
Palestine
goes on, and on, and on....



It is obvious to everyone here that the main target of the Empire is
the
Arab World. The Imperial Project is to control the natural resources,
markets, and labor force of the Arab World and to extend
American-Israeli
domination in the region. Palestine is, however, the thorn in the side
of
the Empire. The center of the resistance to the Empire is in Palestine,
and the epicenter of that struggle is in Gaza. When we resist in
Palestine, we are resisting for our brothers and sisters in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Haiti, and Venezuela and for all people resisting imperial
aims, globalization, and the ugly ravages of structural adjustment
programs. Israeli occupation of Palestine is a kind of structural
adjustment program. Palestinians no longer enjoy the fruits of their
labor nor live off of their land. When you go into markets in Gaza and
the West Bank the shelves are full of the Israeli products, the
products
of our occupiers. The same process is happening Iraq and Afghanistan
and
has happened already in Mexico and Latin American. This is Imperial
freedom and democracy, the kind of freedom and democracy that are
brought
to the indigenous people of the Arab World. It is an imposed freedom
with imperial strings attached to it. Freedom, as every oppressed
person
knows, is not brought to you, it is taken. This is the nature of
resistance and struggle in Palestine, a taking back of our freedom,
dignity, and right to exist on our own land.



How many times will Palestine be raped before the world takes note and
opens its eyes? You see, when Palestine is raped, all oppressed people
are raped. And when Palestinians resist dispossession, dislocation, and
dismemberment from their rooted-ness, they are resisting the Imperial
dreams of their American/Israeli colonizers who wish to control the
Arab
World and beyond. The struggle for freedom in Palestine is the same
struggle of all oppressed people for freedom and dignity. Do you
believe
in justice and freedom? If you do, then you have to go all the way.
There
is no partial justice. Without genuine justice and freedom in
Palestine,
there cannot be freedom and justice anywhere in the world.

Finally, I wish to speak to the inability of some people to go all the
way with justice, specifically to the so-called progressive movement,
the
so-called left, and to all activists who cannot find it in themselves
to
go all the way with justice in Palestine. This is directed to the Noam
Chomskys, the Michael Lerners, the Medea Benjamins, and to the Leslie
Kagans of the world. This is to the Tikkun Community, UFPJ, JVP, Global
Exchange and to all those individuals and groups who can speak about
justice and freedom in Iraq, but not in Palestine; who can speak about
justice and freedom in Haiti, Venezuela, Sudan, and every where else in
the world, but not in Palestine. It is time to confront your abject
political analyses. It is time to confront your denial and racism. It
is
time to confront your moral hypocrisy. You are complicit in the rape of
Palestine.

I invite you to come to Gaza with me and look into the beautiful brown
eyes of Reema, a 7 year-old Palestinian child living in the Jabaliya
refugee camp and tell her and her family that they are not entitled to
justice, freedom, and the right to return to their village that is only
5
km from where they now live. Your abject sense of morality and justice
and vacuous political analyses are empowering the empire. Can you go
all
the way with justice? If not, remember one thing—where there is
occupation and injustice there will always be resistance.

The following confirms what James Bamford conveys in his new book ('A Pretext for War') in that US support (see the link at www.wrmea.com ) of Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinian people is the root of the US terror problem:


http://www.washtimes.com/world/20041001-102214-8172r.htm


Al Qaeda tape urges attacks on U.S., allies



DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (Reuters) — An audio tape attributed to al Qaeda's deputy leader urged Muslims yesterday to organize resistance against "crusader America" and its allies throughout the world.
"We should not wait until U.S., British, French, Jewish, South Korean, Hungarian or Polish forces enter Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen and Algeria before we resist," said the tape, attributed to Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's lieutenant.
"We can't wait or we will be eaten up country by country ... People of knowledge and experience should organize their efforts and form a leadership for the resistance to combat the crusaders."







The tape, aired by Al Jazeera television, said resistance should carry on if al Qaeda leaders were killed or arrested.
"Let us start resisting now. The interests of America, Britain, Australia, France, Poland, Norway, South Korea and Japan are spread everywhere. They all took part in the invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq or Chechnya or enabled Israel to survive."
U.S. officials said they were analyzing the tape to determine its authenticity. The voice sounded similar to previously recorded messages by al-Zawahri. It was not clear when the tape had been made.
The speaker said Muslim youths should emulate insurgents in Iraq, where guerrillas are fighting U.S. forces and the U.S.-backed government, and in Afghanistan, where guerrillas loyal to the ousted Taliban government are stepping up violence ahead of the presidential election on Oct. 9.
He called for attacks against Israel and its ally, the United States, to support the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation.
"Defending Palestine is a legitimate issue and liberating Palestine is an Islamic duty for all, therefore Muslims cannot give up Palestine even if the whole world does so," the voice said.
"Limiting the battle to fighting only the Jews in Palestine and leaving America without attacking it will not restrain America and the crusaders against us."
