Posted by NEWS on 11/11/2004, 18:08:11 In news just in, the tactical decision taken by the Mujahideen to open up two roads leading to the city centre turned out to be very effective. According to sources close to the Mujahideen, as a result of heavy shelling on civilian neighborhoods all around the perimeters of the city, a decision was made to move the battle into the center of town by opening two main roads that lead into Fallujah central. The first road opened was Nisan 7", which is 17 -20 meters wide and stretches from the rail network north of Fallujah, passes by the Al-Mualimeen zone, on to Nisan 7 to Al-Forqan Mosque and ends in the Al-Shuhada neighborhood. The second road opened was Tharthar Street, which is 15 -18 meters wide extends from railway station, from where the Americans are handling forward control, passes through the Al-Ghuaifi neighborhood and ends at Officers neighborhood. After opening the two roads, Mujahideen made a tactical withdrawal from the citys perimeters to permit the Americans to enter the two roads. The plan was successful; the Americans are now on the two roads just where the Mujahideen wanted them to be. The Mujahideen had a very successful day Wednesday and their morale is running high. Not only were they able to weather the relentless, round the clock shelling dished out by the Americans using all kinds of weapons, but they managed to push occupation forces back. The Mujahideen are currently controlling 70% of the city, not the Americans, as mainstream news is reporting. As of this filing, fierce fighting is now underway in the Al-Shuhada neighborhood, with the Mujahideen having retaken Al-Ghuaifi, Al-Mualimeen, and Al-Askari neighborhoods. American snipers are now absent except on some roof tops on the two main roads. According to Mujahideen sources and first reported by Quds Press, the Al-Golan, Al-Mualimeen, and Officers neighborhoods have now been completely cleared of occupations forces and Iraqi flags have been erected on buildings in these areas. According to Islam memo correspondent in the city, street battles are prone to sudden shifts in positions and advantages by there very nature. That was the case last evening when the American occupiers temporarily took control of certain areas but their formations quickly fell apart and Mujahideen regained control. We remind our readers that the situation on the ground is still unstable and that the battle for Fallujah is not over yet. Further Islam memos correspondent said there is no truth to news circulated in western media about high Mujahideen casualties, denouncing claims by some news media that large numbers of Resistance fighters had been killed and wounded by the aggressor troops fire were incorrect. There had been claims that 90 Resistance fighters had fallen, he said, but such figures were totally baseless, the true numbers being far fewer. Mujahideen Capture Eight More Americans In a dispatch posted at 8:25pm local time (7:25pm Mecca time) the al-Fallujah correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam reported that during the night of Tuesday-Wednesday, Resistance forces had taken eight American troops prisoner after attacking them as they drove two Humvees into al-Fallujah. Resistance fighters, having commandeered the Humvees from the captured Americans then took joy rides through the streets of the city, raising the morale of the people and their Resistance fighters. The eight new prisoners followed 36 Americans, including some women soldiers, who had been captured in the south of the city on Monday. Casualties Numbers for Tuesday Preliminary counts of Wednesdays casualties are 43 Americans killed and 19 Mujahideen martyred however the number of Mujahideen martyred is expected to rise as treatment for the wounded is limited under current conditions. In addition, inside the city of Fallujah itself, seven tanks were destroyed and an Apache aircraft was shot down. Outside the city, when Mujahideen attacked the rear supply lines of the American occupiers, 25 different mechanized vehicles were destroyed. No casualty figures on this attack have yet been received.

Mujahideen Control Majority Of Fallujah; Americans Expelled From Three Districts
by JUS
While the Americans are telling the world that they now control 70% of Fallujah and that only 10 American soldiers have been killed, details emerging from the battlefield give us a completely different view.
