All parts of Iraq witnessed fighting against the US occupation on Saturday, beginning early in the morning. Half-past six am was zero hour for the Iraqi Resistance forces. At that time they launched attacks on US troops and fighting erupted all over the country that flared particularly violently in Baghdad.
These battles marked the launch of a new Resistance strategy based on the coordination of actions between the Resistance groups in different parts of Iraq, and the unification of their efforts for the liberation of the country.
The developments in Fallujah are playing a major part in this new Resistance strategy. Since the beginning of the Battle of Fallujah, the Resistance organizations have striven to coordinate between themselves to reduce the pressure that the Americans can bring to bear on Fallujah. Several days ago Iraq witnessed an intifadah uprising whose aim was to break the American siege of the city. But the results of the uprising exceeded the Resistance organizations' expectations, and they managed to seize control of several large cities and important centers throughout the country. These successes did not entail major losses on the part of the Americans and their stooges, however, as the occupation forces hunkered down in their bases and camps, refusing to come out, meaning that the Resistance control of the cities was merely apparent control.
The Resistance was not satisfied with apparent control, however, and resolved to draw the US troops into battle in order to inflict such casualties on them that they would not be able to forget. The Resistance cut back its attacks over the past four days. Indeed the last two days - Thursday and Friday - were marked by the lowest number of attacks launched by the Resistance in the last three months. This is merely an effort to arouse a false sense of security in the Americans, however, so that they come out of their hiding places. This is what happened and the Resistance was waiting for them at zero hour Saturday morning. As of the filing of this report by Mafkarat al-Islam at 10pm Saturday Mecca time, fighting continues to rage in several parts of Iraq.
