Ar-Ramadi.
Violent fighting resumed for the second straight day in the city of ar-Ramadi, west of Bahdad. The battles lasted for more than one and a half hour.
Western Iraq.
Iraqi puppet "border guards" have prohibited the entry of cars and passengers through the Rabi'ah crossing on the Iraqi-Syrian border. They gave no explanation for their action that resulted in traffic pileups, stranding travelers in the middle of the remote region.
Baghdad.
An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded under a US patrol in Abu Ghurayb west of Baghdad on Thursday.
Iraqi Resistance forces bombarded a US patrol with mortar rounds in Abu Ghurayb on Thursday. The American troops responded by opening fire indiscriminately, killing five Iraqi civilians and wounding two others.
The Iraqi Resistance organization called the Abu Bakr as-Siddiq Brigades announced that it had carried out an operation that left three US troops and one Nepali collaborator dead in the building housing the offices of the Municipal Council of Abu Ghurayb.
US forces launched a wave or house raids and mass arrests in the al-Ghazaliyah area west of Baghdad. As usual, the Americans said they were searching for individuals connected with armed Resistance activities against their invader troops.

An Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded under a puppet police patrol, wounding two Iraqi puppet policemen in the ad-Dawudi area of Baghdad.
The puppet so-called "Iraqi national guard" arrested Shaykh Ahmad al-'Iqabi, a leader in the movement headed by Shi'i religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr. Puppet forces raided the religious man’s home in the al-Husayniyah area of Baghdad, dragged him outside and severely beat him before leading him away. The move came despite announcements by the Sadr movement that it intended to participate jointly with pro-American clerics in the theatrical "election" farce to be staged by the occupation in January.
Al-Hillah.
A headless body was found floating in the Euphrates River near the city of al-Hillah. It is believed that it was the remains of a member of the puppet so-called "Iraqi national guard" who was killed by the Iraqi Resistance.
Mosul.
An Iraqi Resistance car bomb exploded in Mosul by a US patrol in the al-Islah az-Zira'i area of the city. The American military admitted only that one US aggressor soldier and one Iraqi were wounded.
An Iraqi Resistance motorcycle bomb exploded by a puppet so-called "Iraqi national guard" patrol in Mosul, destroying two of the puppet forces’ vehicles and wounding five of the puppet troops.
Iraqi Resistance forces assassinated three members of the puppet so-called "Iraqi national guard" in Mosul. In addition, the bodies of 19 others, most of them acknowledged to be members of the puppet "national guard" were also found in the city.
Iraqi Resistance forces bombarded the Mosul headquarters of the collaborationist Kurdish chauvinist Patriotic Union of Kurdistan party whose chief sits on the American-appointed puppet council. The mortar barrage on the chauvinist collaborator party headquarters in the at-Ta’mim section of the city set the building ablaze.
US forces encircled the as-Sulayman Mosque north of Mosul on Thursday, prompting Iraqi Resistance attacks on them from numerous directions. The Americans, as usual, refused to report any information regarding the number or extent of their casualties.
The puppet so-called "Iraqi interior ministry" dismissed Brigadier General 'Adil 'Abdallah, the administrative aide to the Ninwa puppet police chief. The dismissal came days after the dismissal of Major General Muhammad Khayri al-Burhawi, the former puppet police chief in the city. The dismissals followed a successful Iraqi Resistance offensive on the city in November in the course of which Resistance fighters seized control of Mosul, the third-largest city in Iraq.
