Al-Anbar Province.
Al-Hadithah.
Following Saturday night Resistance attack that left five
Marines dead, US troops arrest and shoot 31 Iraqi civilians, Mafkarat
al-Islam reports.
In a dispatch posted at 5:30pm Mecca time Sunday evening, Mafkarat
al-Islam reported that ar-Ramadi General Hospital had confirmed that US
occupation forces had executed 31 Iraqis, ranging in age from 18 to 40,
following an Iraqi Resistance attack on American Marines in al-Hadithah
in which a Jeep was destroyed and five Marines were killed on Saturday
night.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported eyewitnesses as saying
that after that deadly Resistance attack, US occupation troops had
launched a wave of house-to-house raids and arrests, pulling the men
out of their homes. The witnesses said that the men were then
blindfolded, lined up against the wall of a house and shot to death.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent denied a report carried by
al-'Arabiyah satellite TV, which said that the men had been killed in
the course of a battle. All the dead were civilians who had been shot
dead in an execution, the correspondent stressed.
At ar-Ramadi General Hospital in the provincial capital, the
correspondent received confirmation that all the dead had been
civilians and that they had been executed in an apparent act of revenge
for the Resistance attack. The bodies of the 31 men remained dumped on
the sidewalk by ar-Ramadi General Hospital until dawn Sunday while US
forces prevented anyone from approaching them, despite the pleas of
local residents and of the wives, mothers, and children of the martyred
men.
The correspondent added that US forces had arrested three Iraqi
journalists who attempted to get onto the street where the bodies lay
in order to photograph them The correspondents were reporter for the
newspaper ad-Dar al-'Iraqiyah, the correspondent for the newspaper
al-'Iraq, and a correspondent working for the Reuters news agency. All
had been impelled by their journalistic obligation to record the scene
on film, Mafkarat al-Islam noted, but the US troops did not recognize
their journalistic status and arrested them to prevent pictures being
taken.

wreckage of the Humvee to their base located seven kilometers from
Balad.
Ad-Dulu'iayh.
US troops copy Zionist tactic of breaking arms, legs of civilians.
In what appeared to be an application of "Israeli" tactics, US
forces on Thursday, 17 November raided and searched numerous areas in
the vicinity of ad-Dulu'iyah, dragging people from their homes and
breaking their limbs. Quds Press reported that the American raids
followed a Resistance attack on a vehicle in which three American
officers had been killed.
Eyewitnesses told Quds Press that a large American force raided the
al-Bu Hanzalah area of ad-Dulu'iyah, some 80km north of Baghdad. The
witnesses said that the American soldiers beat a number of the men and
broke the limbs of others. The witnesses said that the American assault
followed a Resistance roadside bombing in ad-Dulu'iyah that killed
three US officers.
Quds Press noted that US troops had on an earlier occasion
reportedly used the tactic of breaking the limbs of Iraqis in the city
of ar-Ramadi in al-Anbar Province. The aim of the measure is to prevent
the men from taking part in Resistance operations.
Breaking limbs was a policy instituted by Zionist Defense Minister
Yitzhak Rabin in 1988 during the Intifada in occupied Palestine. Rabin
reportedly ordered Zionist occupation troops to "go in and break their
bones," referring to Palestinians who potentially might act against the
occupation of their country.
Author John Conroy in his book published in 2001, Unspeakable Acts,
Ordinary People, reported that in response to Rabin’s orders, Zionist
"armed soldiers dragged unarmed civilians from their homes, handcuffed
them and beat them senseless, breaking arms and legs and causing other
injuries."
To underline US support for Rabin’s policies, on 14 November 2005,
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former American President
Bill Clinton attended a memorial ceremony for Rabin, who was
assassinated by a Zionist even more extremist than himself in 1995. At
the meeting, Clinton praised Rabin as "a universal soldier for
humanity’s cause." The reports of witnesses in ad-Dulu'iyah appear to
indicate that American forces may be adopting practices similar to
those implemented by Rabin’s Zionist occupation troops in Palestine.

inside.
The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in the area had been unable to
learn the reason for the raid and blockade of the school as of the time
of writing, since US troops had prohibited anyone from appearing on the
street where the school is located.
The correspondent reported, however, that several local journalists
had obtained leaked unconfirmed information from Iraqi puppet army
sources saying that four of the schoolgirls had been accused of
belonging to the Iraqi Resistance. According to those reports, the US
