The Consultative Council of the Mujahideen of Fallujah has announced that US forces have withdrawn along all the four axes along from which they were attacking the south of Fallujah – from the north, east, west, and south. This occurred after the defeat of the assault that began by the American forces at about 2pm Thursday and that lasted until about 11pm and reads as follows:

"By the grace of Allah the Exalted, that attack was repulsed and significant losses were inflicted on the American forces which will be detailed tomorrow. According to preliminary estimates, six of our fighters were martyred, one in a guerrilla operation that he carried out. Two rocket launchers belonging to our men were destroyed. US forces also destroyed 17 houses of citizens in various places in the an-Nazal neighborhood and the ash-Shuhada’ neighborhood.

As to American losses, 32 large-type US Abrams tanks were destroyed and 12 Bradley armored vehicles were destroyed. More than 43 other American vehicles were destroyed including Humvees and personnel carriers. One US tank in operational condition was seized by the Resistance, as were 91 light and medium machine guns. These were taken from Americans who were killed after the main force of the US troops abandoned them to their fate. Military glasses, compasses, armor, knives, spears, hand grenades, and tear gas were seized from the Americans as well. Tomorrow morning the extent of casualties in the American ranks will be disclosed.”

The correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam reported that eyewitnesses reported that US forces had withdrawn towards the north after mortar shells of 60mm, 82mm, and 120mm caliber fired by the city’s Mujahideen drove them back. The Mujahideen forces used these weapons to strike the rear ranks of the American occupation troops who were hanging back, driving the US forces into an improvised flight.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent filed that the Mujahideen advanced after the Americans fell back towards the east and took control of a position above that which they had earlier held. The Mujahideen are now securely concentrated in this position.
