New defiance is rising against U.S. forces following military “crimes”, fleeing residents say.
“On Sunday the 26th of August, there was fierce fighting between armed men and American forces in the Armooshiya district, and I saw Americans evacuate many of their soldiers by stretchers,” a man who fled Samarra for Baghdad, speaking on condition of anonymity, told IPS. “As usual, Americans took revenge by bombing the district.”
A woman who also fled Samarra for the capital in recent days, who gave her name as Iman, told IPS that the U.S. military had “committed another crime in the medicine factory residence area” when “they bombed a house there and killed a woman with her seven children.”
Located 125 km north of Baghdad, Samarra has seen fierce fighting between the Iraqi resistance and U.S. military units since the beginning of the U.S. occupation of Iraq in 2003.
The Sunni dominated city of 200,000 has suffered continuing raids by U.S. and Iraqi forces that have hit civilian life hard.
The resistance seems to have grown as the attacks have continued.
This is how to fight an endless war, making more enemies with each attack then you defeat.
