Mujahideen Moves Easily In Fallujah; 19 Americans Killed In Explosion

In a dispatch posted at 4:17pm Mecca time Monday, the Fallujah correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a noticeable quiet has descended over Fallujah, broken only by intermittent fire by one of the American snipers scattered on rooftops in places in the city. The calm prevails both in the city center and on the outskirts.

US snipers are deployed on the main streets of the city in six or seven positions along ath-Tharthar Street, the main street leading to ar-Ramadi (ar-Ramadi Road), and buildings overlooking the Euphrates to the west of the city.

Mujahideen sharpshooters attempted to eliminate the American snipers by taking up positions on other high buildings to pick them off, but US Apache helicopters would unleash intense gunfire upon them whenever they made these attempts.

19 Americans Killed When Mujahideen Blows Up Building

Sources in the Consultative Council of the Mujahideen of Fallujah told Quds Press on Monday that Mujahideen blew up a building in Fallujah as American forces were entering it on Monday morning, killing 19 US troops.

The building in the al-Bazarah neighborhood opposite the al-Wuthbah Secondary School in the city was blown up using a large amount of TNT just as the US troops were entering it. The US forces brought in bulldozers to dig out the remains of their dead. US troops who were still outside the building when it exploded were wounded.

2. We're probably not going to read anything too explicit from our own media

if there's some additional wildness going on in Fallujah. I found this article which could allude to it, however:

FALLUJAH, Iraq -- A rebel counteroffensive swept through central and northern Iraq on Monday as U.S. troops struggled to flush the remaining insurgents from the rubble-strewn streets of Fallujah.

The wave of attacks in the Sunni Muslim heartland suggested that guerrillas were ready to carry on the war despite the loss of their safe haven in Fallujah.

A five-hour gun battle broke out Monday morning in the southernmost reaches of Fallujah, a day after troops had seemingly quashed all remaining resistance to the weeklong offensive. At least two Marines were killed, the New York Times reported.

Col. Michael Regner, the operations officer for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, said U.S. forces had secured all of Fallujah but were still fighting with bands of die-hard insurgents.

"They're fighting to the death," Regner said.
