SCORES of suicide bombers have been primed to defend Falluja against an imminent onslaught by American and Iraqi forces, according to insurgents’ commanders planning a ferocious counterattack.
More than 100 cars laden with high explosives have been distributed throughout the city to be detonated when US marines mount a long-awaited ground offensive, they claim.
One commander said that 300 foreign fighters had volunteered for suicide bombings as American forces laid siege to the stronghold of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, America’s most wanted man in Iraq.
Some would be used in 118 vehicles already rigged with explosives, he said; others would be waiting in booby-trapped homes for American and Iraqi soldiers hunting from house to house for al-Zarqawi’s fighters.
It was impossible to verify such claims, but as the only western newspaper reporter in Falluja last week, I saw thick black cables running across roads to the city centre, indicating the sites of “improvised explosive devices” — home-made bombs intended for American convoys.
A commander pointed out bridges, a railway track and several networks of narrow alleys in three districts of the city, saying they had been mined.
Snipers have been recruited by Falluja’s commanders from other cities and were already in position this weekend.
The insurgents said they had surface-to-air missiles with which to counter attacks by helicopter gunships.
They also claimed that a number of missiles had been tipped with deadly chemicals including cyanide. One said these would be fired at American forces from their rear.
“We have created a rear position, mainly outside Falluja, that will provide assistance to the fighters inside once the battle starts,” the commander said.
The battle for Falluja is regarded as a decisive test of the ability of American and Iraqi forces to quell the insurgents of the “Sunni triangle” to the north and west of Baghdad in time for elections in the new year.
Early yesterday a column of armoured vehicles moved into the outskirts in a manoeuvre designed to draw out rebels and provide fresh targets for the air power and artillery.
In the most intensive airstrikes on Falluja for months, a small Saudi-funded hospital and medical warehouse were hit, killing at least two people.
The insurgents struck back against US troops on a road to the north of the city, where fierce fighting was reported. A suicide car bomb attack on the 2nd Infantry Division in the nearby town of Ramadi wounded 20 soldiers.
The biggest attacks of the day, however, came in Samarra, north of Baghdad, where at least 33 people died. Two explosions occurred outside the mayor’s office and an American convoy heading towards the scene was hit. Militants then stormed three police stations.
Riiiight. And the Republican Guard will defend Bagdad with their teeth and their nails!!!!
Carpet bombing the city from 30,000 will take care of that viper nest.
And ahhh say to George W Bush ... BRING IT ON....
"Ummmm, Mohammad, shouldn't we wait to reveal our secret plans until AFTER they've attacked us?"
You know, after more than a thousand years of being the worst fighters on earth (and the most backward and worthless of men), you have to wonder why these Muslirats continue to talk so much smack.
Tell them to sit tight our boys will be right over to talk to them about OUR plans!

I'm guessing there aren't going to be too many intact vehicles on the streets of Fallujah when the Marines come in.
Well , them bomb all left behind vehicles and houses. They have been told to get out. If they choose to stay.....
Yep, they're still sitting in Falluja they've signed up for suicide. Our boys will give them a hand in meeting their goals.
It sounds like Fallujah needs to be the next WWII Tokyo.
Napalm.
Nice to see the Enemy recognizes his tactical position.
Prayers for our troops - God bless em and keep em and let them know we love em

How nice of them to tell us. And not one U.S. life is worth getting killed when we can drop a daisy cutter. They have begged for it, and any civilians still there are their responsibility to get out NOW.
To hell with Muslim 'sensibilities', we can get rid of the problem now without harming even one of our people.
seems like you just have to blow up all the cars from a safe distance
If you are in a tank and a car bomb goes off will you be safe?
"More than 100 cars laden with high explosives have been distributed throughout the city to be detonated when US Marines mount a long-awaited ground offensive"
I can't argue with this statement. One helicopter just over the horizon should be able to pick them all off in about 30 minutes.
