IRAQI RESISTANCE

Guardian: Commander: GIs in Iraq Face Revenge Raids

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The commander of the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq
said
in an interview published Wednesday that U.S. forces, already under
pressure from a guerrilla-style resistance, now face revenge attacks
from ordinary Iraqis angered by the occupation. North of Baghdad, there
were at least three separate attacks on U.S. forces with roadside bombs in
less than 1 hours Wednesday morning. Witnesses reported injured soldiers,
but details were unclear. The attacks hit U.S. Humvees about 12 miles north
of Baghdad near al-Taji.
