	Iraqi insurgency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iraqi leaders have denied the presence of Zarqawi in Fallujah prior to the U.S. attack on that city in November 2004.
		Guerrillas, using either rocket-propelled grenades or explosives, regularly destroy portions of oil pipeline in northern Iraq, and had expanded to southern Iraq by April 2004.
		Laith Kubba, the Iraqi Prime Minister's spokesman, stated the insurgent attacks are increasing in the run-up to December's parliamentary elections.

	washingtonpost.com: U.S. Solider Killed by Iraqi Guerrillas
		Four British soldiers suffered minor wounds in a roadside explosion on the outskirts of the southern city of Basra on Monday, and police reported that the Iraqi governor of Diyala province was slightly wounded, along with two bodyguards and a bystander, when his car drove past a roadside bomb 60 miles northeast of Baghdad.
		Iraqis say resisters probably also include others as well, men resentful of the foreign army's presence and perhaps seeking to avenge kinsmen's deaths at American hands.
		Of the 55 Iraqis on the coalition's most wanted list, 38 are in custody, 14 are at large and three are either dead or thought to be dead.

	The Braden Files : As Samarra: A Haven for Iraqi Insurgents? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Iraqi police have proven unable and/or unwilling to interfere with the operations of the guerrillas.
		Iraqi police have been largely ineffective in stopping the guerrillas because the insurgents in As Samarra are mostly tribal warriors motivated by nationalism.
		The consequent failure by the Iraqi police and military is forcing the United States to re-evaluate its policy of disengagement, at least in the short term.

		Firing at civilian aircraft: This is a new tactic in the Iraqi guerrilla war and it substantiates the point that, for the guerrillas, this is total war.

		A former senior director in the Iraqi intelligence service says the Americans are right to be anxious.''The intelligence on the Americans is comprehensive and detailed,'' says the Iraqi, who insisted on not being identified and spoke to a reporter in a private home rather than at a restaurant or hotel to avoid being observed.
		A week ago, an Iraqi security guard working with the Army on the secure transport of surplus Iraqi munitions answered a knock on his door and was asked whether he was still helping the Americans.
		The guerrillas are as skillful at keeping their secrets out of U.S. hands as they are at collecting sensitive information about coalition operations.

	Informed Comment
		The Iraqi guerrilla groups say that they only attack the Occupation forces and avoid attacks on civilians, whereas Zarqawi deliberately targets the latter, having adopted a policy of launching a war against the Shiites.
		Iraqi guerrillas were especially upset about the bombing of potential police recruits in Ramadi, since some of the men belonged to the Sunni Arab guerrilla movement.
		The guerrillas had given them permission to enlist under a secret agreement they had reached with the Americans via the mediation of tribal chieftains, stipulating that the guerrillas would dominate the security services, the police and army in the Sunni Arab provinces, as an element in an over-all settlement.

		WASHINGTON — Iraqi guerrillas have an abundant supply of small arms and explosives that could allow them to maintain their pace of attacks indefinitely, Pentagon and U.S. Central Command intelligence analysts have concluded.
		The problem facing U.S. and allied soldiers stems not from weapons snatched by guerrillas from under the noses of coalition guards but rather from weapons the guerrillas already had when the main fighting ended six months ago.
		The combination of readily available small arms and explosives with tactics that require relatively little use of ammunition indicates that Iraqi forces will be able to sustain their ambush-style attacks indefinitely, these two intelligence officials said.

		They said that many Iraqi guerrillas are deeply dismayed at the al-Zarqawi group's tactic of targetting civilians and Shiites, and that significant numbers have deserted him to join the Iraqi group, The Islamic Army.

	Iraqi guerrillas shoot down US helicopter, killing 16 soldiers Rumsfeld says more such "bad days" to come
		Thousands of Iraqi soldiers were killed during the war, most of them incinerated by bombers, helicopter gunships, tanks and artillery before they ever came in contact with US ground troops.
		The Iraqi military had hundreds of such missiles in its inventory before the war, and many of them were looted from stockpiles after the collapse of the Saddam Hussein regime.
		He dismissed television footage of Iraqis celebrating the destruction of the helicopter, reiterating the by now shopworn claim, “We know that the overwhelming majority of the population of Iraq favors the coalition,” i.e., the occupation of their country by foreign troops.

		BAGHDAD -- Guerrillas thought loyal to ousted dictator Saddam Hussein are shifting away from attacks against American troops in favor of killing and terrorizing Iraqi civilians who cooperate with the US-led coalition occupying the country, the chief of US Central Command said yesterday.
		General John Abizaid said that the aggressive American anti-insurgency campaign underway in Baghdad and in the "Sunni Triangle" region to the north and west has resulted in a sharp decline in attacks on US soldiers, although the soldiers from four Army divisions are still very much under the gun.
		Witnesses said an Iraqi mob, most of them teenagers, dragged the two bloodied soldiers from the vehicle after they had been shot, threw them to the ground, and pummeled them with concrete blocks.
