Resistance bombards US base in al-Habbaniyah Sunday afternoon.
Iraqi Resistance forces bombarded the US as-Saqr air base in al-Habbaniyah, 75km west of Baghdad with six medium range Katyusha rockets at 3pm local time Sunday afternoon.
Residents of the village of al-Fallahat, that is located near the US base, told the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in al-Habbaniyah that the impact of the Resistance rockets produced powerful explosions in the US-occupied base and those were followed by numerous secondary explosions as US munitions began going off.
Clouds of smoke billowed into the sky over the base and swarms of US helicopters took to the air in search of the Iraqi Resistance attackers but found nothing.
Ar-Ramadi.
The Army of the Ansar as-Sunnah denies reports of meetings with American commanders.
An Iraqi Resistance organization denied press reports concerning alleged meetings between four US representatives and commanders of detachments of the Iraqi Resistance in the city of Balad.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in ar-Ramadi, 110km west of Baghdad, reported that the Army of the Ansar as-Sunnah [Partisans of the Prophet's Practice] in Iraq had distributed an statement in local mosques that denied the media reports about their having taken part in meetings with American representatives.
The statement, dated Sunday, 17 Jumada al-Ula 1426 hijri, 26 June 2005, said that "the media had carried a story claiming that four American military commanders had held two meetings with Jihadi groups in Iraq, specifically in the area of Balad, north of Baghdad. The media reports said that among those Resistance organizations was the Army of the Paristans of the Sunnah, and that the discussions dealt with setting down a time table for the withdrawal of US forces, reparations for the Iraqis, etc."
The statement went on: "Jihad is the only way to return greatness and respect to this nation. Without them the nation is a weak, cringing thing the way it is now. The Prophet Muhammad, may God's peace and blessings be upon him, said `no people have abandoned Jihad without being brought low.' These lies being circulated by the media are nothing but a clear proof of the confusion and hopelessness of the Crusaders' situation now that they are increasingly being beaten and exhausted, and now that the American military machine has proven incapable of confronting the Mujahideen, and now that they have lost faith in the [puppet] government that they have imposed. This has all come about only thanks to the grace of God the Almighty, and after that to what your brothers in the jihad have done on God's path, seeking one of the two bounties: victory or martyrdom."
The statement was signed by Abu `Abdallah al-Hasan ibn Mahmud, the Amir of the Army of the Ansar as-Sunnah.
The statement was prompted by a story in the London Sunday Times that claimed that US military and intelligence officers had held talks with Resistance commanders in Balad.
