A cry from the mosque

KARACHI - As the battle continued on Wednesday in Fallujah, where US troops are inextricably regaining control of the Sunni insurgent stronghold, resistance fighters have broken into small groups of four or five across the city to resist their militarily far superior opponents. At this writing they have shown no signs of retreating or surrendering, at least for a few more days, despite no running water, food shortages and dwindling arms supplies.

It is a foregone conclusion that the US forces will take Fallujah, but people Asia Times Online spoke to in Iraq maintain that a powerful civil disobedience movement is being planned across the urban centers of the country.

A group of predominantly Sunni religious leaders in Fallujah, headed by the mufti of the city, Jamal Shakir an-Nazal, and Hamzah al-Mufti have already issued calls for civil disobedience in all departments of the "puppet government" against the "regime of Iyad Allawi" if the bombardment of Fallujah continues.

Terrorisis in the Netherlands, I guess they heard the terrorist call for jihad:

THE HAGUE, Netherlands Nov 10, 2004 — Dutch special forces were locked in a standoff with an unknown number of suspected terrorists holed up in a house in The Hague after three officers were wounded by a hand grenade during an attempted raid Wednesday, authorities said.

But they have shown pretty good signs of dying.
