 Support The DrudgeReport; Visit Our Advertisers  Insurgent Leader Vows Uprising Has Only Begun Tue Nov 16 2004 20:47:37 ET U.S. and Iraqi troops entered Mosul in force Tuesday to retake streets and police stations seized by rebels in the northern city last week, while a leading Iraqi insurgent claimed that the fighting in Fallujah was only the beginning of an uprising that has already roiled parts of Iraq dominated by Sunni Muslims, the WASHINGTON POST is planning to report. "The Americans have opened the gates of hell," Abdullah Janabi said Monday in Fallujah, a city U.S. commanders have said they control after a week of often fierce fighting. "The battle of Fallujah is the beginning of other battles." Iraqi officials had said they believed Janabi, a 53-year-old Sunni cleric, had fled the city before U.S. troops pushed into the insurgent stronghold. But he spoke from the city's southern section, at times boasting of losses inflicted on U.S. troops and at other times insisting that other insurgent leaders remained in Fallujah with him. After fighting erupted in Fallujah last week, insurgents moved to open a second front in Mosul, seizing control of parts of the city and attacking bridges and six police stations. Some stations were looted of body armor, uniforms, weapons and radios, and at least three were too wrecked to be reoccupied. |
