Not that things are going from bad to worse or anything but besides the hourly car-bombings assassinations and executions of large numbers of Iraqi security forces...
Baghdad, 6 November - Amidst continous airstrikes and bombing sprees of the US-led occupation forces against Falluja and the ongoing raids on Samarra, a group of US-trained Iraqi National Guards have clashed with US troops and one Iraqi officer is reported to have deserted yesterday.
It is feared he might turn over his informations about the US operation plans to resistance fighters, as the high-ranking Iraqi commander of 160 troops had deserted after having received a full briefing on US military plans to practically flatten the city of Falluja,
Now that W has got his mandate:
Analysts expect a very high death toll among civilians in Falluja in case of the planned assault on the city and the interim Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi has been touring Europe in the hope of drumming up at least tacit support for the US-strategy of reducing resistance by bombing Iraqi cities deemed to be strongholds of insurgency.
In his letter, Kofi Annan warned the occupation forces and Allawi that the mounting military violence against the Iraqi people is bound to swell the numbers of resistance fighters and risks to jeopardize the general elections scheduled to be held in January next year.
