Iraq-Jordan

Breaking - Ar Ramadi Battle described as âLarge-Scaleâ

2004-04-06

Starting with the FoxNews link. Hearing reports of over 100 well-trained fighters attacking CPA site...

More as it is reported...

The Hard Push is on...

Excepts...
A defense official told Fox News that there have been "significant" U.S. deaths from the fighting in Ramadi â the official later set the figure at at least 12 U.S. casualties and at least 20 wounded. Two more coalition soldiers and at least 66 Iraqis were also reported killed Tuesday.

Let's hear more about the enemy corpse count...

Fighting was so intense that commanders went to the unit headquarters to pull people who wouldn't normally fight into the combat, military sources said. "This is not like any other firefight we've seen so far," military sources in Iraq said. "There are bullets flying all over the place."

From al-Jizz...
But reports emanating from Falluja say the occupation forces are facing stiff resistance. CNN said it appeared the attack in Ramadi had been carried out by supporters of the ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and not by followers of the Shia leader Moqtada Sadr, whose fighters have been battling occupation troops in several places in Iraq.

Ramadi is Sunni country. I'd have been surprised to see a sizable Shiite presence.

From CNN...
A high-ranking military source said initial reports indicated several government buildings had been seized by fewer than 100 insurgents. The insurgents attacked a Marine position near the governor's palace. The source said as many as 20 Marines had been wounded. There also were heavy enemy casualties

I hope in the hundreds, at least...

Ramadi, about 60 miles west of Baghdad, is part of the Sunni triangle, an area north and west of the capital where much of the resistance to the U.S.-led occupation has occurred.
