Iraqi fighters regain control of camp Aljazeera.net
Thursday 24 March 2005 - About 30 to 40 fighters were seen at a lakeside training camp attacked by US and Iraqi forces, an AFP correspondent who visited the site has said.
The correspondent, who travelled with other journalists to the camp at Lake Tharthar, 200km north of Baghdad, said he saw 30 to 40 fighters there on Wednesday.
The remains of three burnt vehicles were seen on a dusty road leading to the camp in the village of Ain al-Hilwa. A few mud huts were partly destroyed and a few big craters gouged the ground.
One of the fighters, who called himself Muhammad Amer and claimed to belong to the Secret Islamic Army, said they had never left the base.
He denied that scores of his fighters had been killed and said only 11 of his comrades perished in airstrikes on the site.
Fled by boat
Iraqi commanders said 85 suspected anti-US fighters were killed in an assault by Iraqi troops and US aircraft on the camp Tuesday, adding that no one was captured and others had fled by boat.
Asked about the presence of rebels at the camp late Wednesday, a member of the Iraqi police commandos that took part in the operation said Iraqi and US troops withdrew from the area at about 6.30pm (1530 GMT) on Tuesday.
"The commandos killed 35 and US air raids killed 50. But no one was captured and many escaped by boat," General Adnan Thabit, a senior advisor to the interior ministry, earlier told AFP by phone from Samarra.
"During the fight, 30 boats left."
A statement from the outgoing government, which confirmed the number of fighters killed, said one Algerian was captured.
Local hospitals told AFP they had received no casualties from the battle.
US air support
A US military spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Goldenberger, confirmed the operation and said Apache attack and Kiowa Warrior reconnaissance helicopters backed the commandos.
He said what started as an Iraqi mission quickly turned into a joint one after fighters opened fire on the some 240 members of the interior ministry's 1st Commando Battalion approaching the camp.
"More important than the number of insurgent casualties is the fact that we have disabled their capabilities and denied them a safe haven," he said.
Mosul attacks
Further north, a car bomb in Mosul hit a US military convoy, wounding two US and two Iraqi soldiers, the military said.
An 11-year-old girl was killed when a mortar round struck a school in Amariya, west of the capital, said medical sources. Another girl was wounded.
And five bodies, all shot in the head except for the corpse of a female university student who also had her mouth cut open with a knife, were found on farmland near Suwaira, 50km south of the capital, said police Lieutenant Colonel Khalil Obaid.
Video footage
Meanwhile, the Islamic Army in Iraq group released several videotapes depicting what the said were resistance attacks against US military and intelligence targets.
In the first video, a Russian-made Katyusha rocket is fired at the Rashid hotel in Baghdad, hitting the top floor. Audio accompanying the footage says the floor was frequented by US intelligence officers.
In another video, a US Humvee is struck by an improvised explosive device (IED) and destroyed.

Al-Hadithah. American invaders seal off al-Hadithah with more than 60 tanks, threatening the city with siege. In a dispatch posted at 12:12pm Mecca time Wednesday, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that US forces had completely sealed off the western Iraqi city of al-Hadithah at dawn on Wednesday, preventing citizens from entering or leaving it. The correspondent reported that the Americans surrounded the city with more than 60 tanks, positioned on the four sides of the city. They also closed roads and the only two bridges in the city. US aircraft dropped leaflets offering huge monetary rewards to residents who help the American troops arrest what they called `terrorists.' On the other hand, the leaflets threatened city residents that they would be cutting off water, electricity, and sanitation services from the city if the people refuse to cooperate. The correspondent reported that the Resistance has continued to stay in place and has not ventured out to meet the American military since they are present in such large numbers. The Resistance has resolved to bide its time and see what will transpire. Fierce fighting rages Wednesday afternoon. . . In a dispatch posted at 2:32pm Mecca time, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that violent fighting was under way at that moment between US Marines and Iraqi Resistance forces on the eastern approaches to the city of al-Hadithah. Heavily armed Resistance fighters had set up 62mm mortars, and were launching shoulder-fired rockets and anti-personnel and anti-tank grenades, and firing heavy and medium-weight weapons at the Americans, the correspondent reported. At the time of writing, however, and despite the participation of large numbers of Resistance fighters, the balance in the battle seemed to be in the Americans' favor. The Americans had the advantage of very large numbers of tanks and other vehicles and were savagely bombarding the Resistance positions. Nevertheless, in the first minutes of combat, the Resistance succeeded in setting one tank and two Humvees ablaze, killing all aboard, according to sources in the Resistance. Battle continues as Resistance knocks out second US tank. . . In a dispatch posted at 3:25pm Mecca time Wednesday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported from al-Hadithah that the Resistance had set a second tank ablaze, totally destroying it, in the course of their continued battle with US Marines in the city. The correspondent in the city reported that a short while before, Resistance fighters ahd fired an armor-piercing rocket at the American tank, totally destroying it and killing all who were aboard instantly, according to a commander in the Resistance. The Resistance in the city, for its part, issued a statement over loudspeakers calling on all the journalists who had entered the city after hearing of the battle to fear God and to report the truth to all the world's Muslims. It called on them not to report only the statements issued by the American forces as is their usual habit in such battles. The correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam reported that more than five well-known satellite TV stations were now in al-Hadithah, including the al-`Arabiyah satellite TV network.

AFP -
Insurgents cling to training camp after Iraq-US assault
SAMARRA, Iraq : Insurgents were still manning a training camp in northern Iraq in defiance of a blistering raid by the authorities, as British lawmakers accused the US-led coalition of "mistakes and misjudgments" by failing to prepare for the insurgency.
About 30 to 40 fighters were seen Wednesday at the lakeside training camp attacked by US and Iraqi forces on Tuesday and denied they had ever left, an AFP correspondent who visited the site said. There were numerous discrepancies in the accounts given by the rebel and Iraqi security forces. The US military said Thursday it was investigating the new accounts of a rebel presence after what had been reported as a crushing raid.
The AFP correspondent, who traveled Wednesday with other journalists to the camp in the village of Ain al-Hilwa on Lake Tharthar, 200 kilometres (120 miles) north of Baghdad, said he saw the remains of three burnt-out vehicles on a dusty road leading to the site.
A fighter named Amer, who claimed membership in the Secret Islamic Army of Iraq, said the men had never abandoned the camp and only 11 of his comrades were killed in airstrikes on the site.
Iraqi commanders have said 85 suspected insurgents were killed in an assault by Iraqi troops and US aircraft on the camp Tuesday, adding that no one was captured and others had fled by boat.
Asked about the presence of rebels at the camp late Wednesday, a member of the Iraqi police commandos that took part in the operation said Iraqi and US troops withdrew from the area at about 6:30 pm (1530 GMT) Tuesday.
Local hospitals told AFP they had received no casualties from the battle.
"The commandos killed 35 and US air raids killed 50. But no one was captured and many escaped by boat," General Adnan Thabet, a senior advisor to the interior ministry, earlier told AFP by phone from Samarra.
"During the fight, 30 boats left."
A statement from the outgoing government, which confirmed the insurgent toll, said one Algerian was captured.
The camp, frequented by members of Saddam's Baath party and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's branch of Al-Qaeda, was built after the US offensive to retake the rebel enclave of Fallujah in November, Thabet said.
Besides Fallujah, where rebels had turned the entire town into one giant command centre before November, the only other known strike on a suspected rebel camp was by US forces near Qaim on the Syrian border in June 2003.
"This was a serious military camp with a living section and guard posts," said a commando officer, named Jalil, who took part in the operation.
Jalil said machine guns, rockets, arms and training manuals including ones on how to make roadside bombs were found at the camp along with fake identification cards, passports and documents that proved the presence of foreigners, long blamed for the bulk of the insurgency.
He estimated that some 100 fighters might have been at the camp at the time of the attack.
Thabet said six commandos were killed and four wounded.
A US military spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Goldenberger, confirmed the operation and said Apache attack and Kiowa Warrior reconnaissance helicopters backed the commandos.
He said what started as an Iraqi mission quickly turned into a joint one after fighters opened fire on the some 240 members of the interior ministry's 1st Commando Battalion approaching the camp.
Meanwhile, an influential British parliamentary panel released findings that the US-led coalition failed to prepare sufficiently for the deadly insurgency that flared up in the aftermath of the spring 2003 Iraq invasion.
"A series of mistakes and misjudgements" occurred during the initial stages of the campaign which began in March 2003 and not enough importance was attached to boosting Iraq's own police force, the House of Commons defence committee said in a report.
The report criticised the Coalition Provisional Authority for failing to secure small arms depots across Iraq. They have now become a key source for insurgents to get explosive materials and heavy weapons.
In the latest violence, a US soldier died in Baghdad late Wednesday, a US military spokesperson said, but gave no further details.
An interior ministry official said a US soldier had been seriously wounded in a mortar strike on a police station in the capital.
A man seeking asylum in Germany and claiming to be a journalist has been taken hostage by the previously unknown "The Protectors of Islam Brigade" demanding the release of all Muslims in German jails, Der Spiegel reported on Thursday.
The news weekly said the man, identified as an Iraqi national named Hassan al-Sajdi, had claimed in a hostage-style video tape sent to the offices of the US magazine "Time" that he was working for an unnamed German media company.
On the political front, Iraq's election-winning Shiite list said it was pushing for Iraq's parliament to meet Saturday.
Members of the Shiite coalition said they were waiting to meet with Kurdish leaders to decide.

Solo l'idizia può portare a pensare che gli USA nascondano o travisino le notizie in questo modo. Al jazeera FA propaganda, questo è un fatto noto punto e basta.
Sarebbe meglio che si accettasse che le forze USA sono superiori senza possibilità di confronto rispetto agli insorgenti/terroristi.
Quello che potrebbe sorprendere - ma non sorprende me, che conosco questi polli di indimedia - è che si faccia anche qui propaganda non già antiamericana - quella si potrebbe comprendere - ma addirittura pro terrorista.
Ecco, chiedere poi "come sei messo" quando si sta con i terroristi, mi sembra si commenti da solo.
Senza cordialità

Non prendono nessun schiaffone. E' inevitabile che ogni tanto qualche Americano ci rimetta la pelle. Ma chiamarli schiaffoni, è solo un tentativo scioccamente provocatorio.
Gli Stati Uniti hanno il più potente esercito al mondo, tecniche, training e tecnologie superiori.
Chiaramente subiscono perdite anche loro, impossibile diversamente. Ma la dominanza militari su tutti i livelli, è palese.
Accettatela, partiamo da lì.

sei tu che fai ridere me, nonostante il tuo odio - in gran parte invidioso, diciamolo pure - nei nostri confronti.
Diceva la canzone "tu vò fà l'americano .... ma sei nato in italy'"
Ecco - ragazzino - a me non si applica. Io sono nato negli USA, e ci vivo ancora buona parte dell'anno.
A te, un augurio: che tu riesca a vivere bene nella tua patria, perchè siete ridotti molto male, e la "colpa" non è solo del corrente governo.

Per voi sinistroidi gli USA fanno sempre male anche quando fanno bene. Abbiamo dato da mangiare ai vostri padri e nonni ed ora voi sinistroidi mordete la mano che vi ha sfamato. Vi abbiamo liberato dal nazismo, fascismo e anche dal comunismo che a voi tanto piace. Siete un popolo di mafiosi governato da mafiosi. Avete inventato la parola mafia tanto che si dice "la mafia russa, la mafia cinese ecc". Anche in guerra non sapete fare un cazzo e avete anche tradito i vostri alleati tedeschi sparandogli alla schiena. e non parlate dei partigiani, erano solo ladri di galline buoni solo ad ammazzare preti.

Bello essere pacifisti. Se l'idea la rispettassero tutti. Purtroppo no ed e' quindi necessario talvolta forzare i tiranni e i dittatori, a rispettare le idee degli altri. Pensa poi che la ragione per cui puoi pensare come vuoi, dimostrare quando vuoi (sotto i limiti della legge), scrivere quel che vuoi, e' proprio perche' qualcuno e andato in guerra e ci ha lasciato la pelle per la liberta'
