IRAQ: FALLUJAH

Jihad Unspun: A WORD ABOUT TODAY'S EDITION

The word is out far and wide. The US has crushed Fallujah. Words like the “a hollow of the city” and the “former home to insurgents”. Meanwhile, at the same time, reports are also far and wide. Fallujah is being struck by bombs. If the US has taken the city, why are they bombing? What on earth is going on here?

Let's recap, shall we? As of our reports early this morning, the battle is still going on in Faulljah. Occupation troops have not been able to get near the al-Jawlan neighborhood; all they control are the main streets in Fallujah, which is part and parcel of the Mujahideen's war strategy, and the Americans are backing up their presence with fierce air strikes. The Consultative Council of the Mujahideen of Fallujah have said that the military situation of American forces in al-Fallujah has remained consistant for three days. The Mujahideen are operating under a central command and have a war plan. This plan includes the Sunni Triangle which is currently rife with resistance activities. This was a preplanned strategy to thin out the ability of occupation forces to send reinforcements into the city.
