Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Thursday, 2 June 2005.

Thursday, 2 June 2005.

Al-Anbar Province.


Hit.

Resistance fighters assault US `Ayn al-Asad base in Hit Thursday afternoon.

In a bulletin posted at 4:55pm Mecca time Thursday afternoon, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short time ago more than 50 Iraqi Resistance fighters had mounted an attack on the eastern and northern gates of the US `Ayn al-Asad base in the western Iraqi city of Hit.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported witnesses as saying that at the time of writing some 50 Resistance fighters were battling US Marines at the two gates, but had not managed to get inside the American-occupied facility because of the stiff return fire of the Amercans.

The correspondent reported that the Resistance fighters were using various medium and heavy weapons in their assault. US helicopters had been unable to fire at the Resistance fighters because they were too close to the US Marines whom they were fighting.

1. Parity, Sir, Would Seem To Be In Place In One Aspect Of This Conflict
Both sides have press offices that would not touch the truth with a ten foot pole....
