FALLUJA, Iraq— There
is a new kind of resistance
taking hold in this rebel
stronghold of Iraq's
seething Sunni triangle and
its name is not Saddam
Hussein.
Nor, in fact, is it composed
of imported fighters serving
the call of Al Qaeda.
Though Baath party
loyalists and foreign
jihadists are almost
exclusively cited by
American-led coalition
authorities as the sources
of the insurgency that continues to harass Iraq's stability, the streets of Falluja
are filled with talk of a patriot uprising far more grassroots in nature.
On paper — and there is paper, in leaflet form, making the rounds in this city 60
kilometres west of Baghdad — at least one branch of the new resistance calls
itself the Popular Iraqi Liberation Front.
Its avowed mission: ousting the occupation forces.
But not in the name of Saddam.
