Hit.
American forces bombard residential areas of Hit as their offensive codenamed "Operation Sword" continues for third day. US troops arrest director of Hit General Hospital charging him with providing medical care for Resistance fighters.
US occupation forces arrested the General Director of Hit General Hospital in western Iraq on Wednesday, Quds Press reported in a dispatch posted at 8:46 GMT Thursday. A source in the hospital told Quds Press that US forces raided the city hospital on Wednesday and arrested Dr. Nizar al-Kubaysi, the General Director of Hit General Hospital on charges that he treated wounded and injured Iraqi Resistance fighters in his facility. The source explained that the American troops raided the hospital and searched through the wards and hospital rooms looking for what they called "insurgents" receiving treatment.
Otherwise the source said that Hit General Hospital received on Wednesday the bodies of nine Iraqi civilians killed in the Americans’ so-called "Operation Sword" offensive on the city which has been underway for three days. The source said that among the nine civilian bodies were corpses of several women and children.
The source explained that about 40 local civilians came to the hospital suffering from wounds received in the American bombardment of the city. The American attacks have targeted several residential neighborhoods of the city, in the course of which five houses have been destroyed. Local residents said that some of the members of the families who lived in the houses were killed and their bodies were still buried in the rubble of the buildngs.
For three days, Quds Press noted, the US forces have been waging a major military campaign against regions on the Upper Euphrates, in particular in the cities of Hit and al-Hadithah. The Americans have code named this offensive "Operation Sword" and it comes on the heels of three other operations that the American invaders and their Iraqi stooges mounted against al-Qa’im, al-Hadithah, and Baghdad.
In a dispatch posted at 3:22pm Mecca time Thursday afternoon, the Saudi News Agency (WAS) reported that clashes erupted all along the length of the Upper Euphrates for the third day on Thursday as US forces pursued their so-called "Operation Sword" offensive, raiding residences and shops throughout the cities of the region in search of Iraqi Resistance fighters.

"Armed struggle until occupation leaves Iraq": Resistance groups deny claims of readiness to form political organization and negotiate.
Iraqi Resistance organizations on Thursday morning issued a statement in which they denied claims by the former puppet so-called "Iraqi minister of electricity," Ayham as-Samarra’i that the Iraqi Resistance had agreed to negotiate with US occupation forces and to form a political organization.

The statement said that as-Samarra’i spoke with his own tongue and with the tongue of the occupation, and said that the Resistance groups regarded as-Samarra’i’s claim as an American occupation attempt "to sedate" the members of the Resistance throughout Iraq.
The Resistance statement said that any negotiations or discussions with the occupation forces would take place only using the language of guns. The statement said that whatever has been taken by force can only be recovered by force and concluded: "the armed struggle will not cease until the occupation leaves the land of Iraq."

The sources, who took part in a meeting between local notables of the at-Tarimiyah area and US military representatives on Wednesday said that the number of Americans killed when the helicopter went down was eight, and not two as had earlier been announced.
Quds Press reported in a dispatch posted at 4:10am GMT Thursday that Iraqi sources said that the Americans in their Wednesday meeting disclosed the fact that eight US troops had been shot down aboard the aircraft. The sources, who asked that their names not be used, said that among the dead were six US military officers who had supposedly taken part in a meeting near at-Tarimiyah which was believed to have included representatives of Resistance fighters.
The Iraqi sources said that the Americans then held an enlarged meeting on Wednesday with tribal shaykhs and other notables in at-Tarimiyah. The US forces told the gathering of Iraqi notables that the residents of the city must hand over the Iraqi Resistance fighters who shot down the US helicopter. If they failed to do so, the Americans threatened at-Tarimiyah with a "second al-Fallujah" within days – in a reference to the US offensives on the defiant city in western Iraq, much of which was blasted to rubble by US bombing.
The Iraqi sources said that the American commanders told them that their artillery in the at-Taji base were targeted on at-Tarimiyah. US forces have been encircling the area of at-Tarimiyah since the helicopter was shot down, not allowing anyone in or out of the city, and forcing local residents to take back roads out of sight of the Americans to carry on their usual activity.
