U.S. Attacks Resistance in Mosul

HeadlineNov 12, 2004

In Iraq’s third biggest city, Mosul, five Iraqi police stations were bombed and the Iraqi resistance has taken over major portions of the city. In response the US military yesterday launched air and ground assaults against Mosul. Parts of Ramadi and Sammarah are also under the control of the Iraqi resistance. Meanwhile the Asia Times reports the resistance has taken over numerous neighborhoods in the greater Baghdad area for the first time [including the southern suburb of ad-Durha, as well as Hur Rajab, Abu Ghraib, al-Abidi, as-Suwayrah, Salman Bak, Latifiyah and Yusufiyah].
