	Tharthar Presidential Site - Iraq Special Weapons Facilities
		The palace of Maqar-el-Tharthar [the so-called "Green Palace"] at Lake Tharthar is the biggest and most elaborate of President Saddam's palaces, built on the shore of an artificial lake.
		In the 1950s a barrage was constructed on the Tigris in order to divert the spring flood waters down Wadi Tharthar, and end the disastrous flooding of Baghdad by storing extra water discharge upstream of the Samarra barrage.
		The lake formed behind the Tharthar barrage drove the farming communities of the flood plain onto the steppe-land among the Abbasid ruins of Samarra' and enlarged the town, which remains the market center of its district.

		The sprawling compound at Hussein's preferred fishing hole on Lake Tharthar is one of eight presidential palaces that have long been a bone of contention between Iraq and United Nations inspectors hunting for weapons of mass destruction.
		The raid overnight Thursday was believed to be the first on a presidential palace since the war began, although Hussein's Baath Party offices have been blitzed by ground troops on several occasions around the country.
		It was built on Lake Tharthar, which draws from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and is about halfway between Baghdad and Hussein's hometown of Tikrit.

		The military said seven Interior Ministry soldiers and an undetermined number of insurgents were killed in the clash on the edge of central Iraq's Tharthar Lake, northwest of Baghdad.
		While those attacks have maintained a relentless pace in Baghdad and in the Sunni Triangle area to the north and west, the security forces have taken a higher profile in much of the country, especially in the capital.
		The military said an "early assessment" indicated that some of the insurgents killed in the fighting were foreigners.

		Long after Iraqi forces said they had burnt to the ground terror camps on the lake, the cell leader, a survivor of that battle, continues to operate on TharThar, which has been described as a gateway between the insurgent haven of Anbar province and Salahaddin to the north.
		And on windswept Lake TharThar, the rebel leader, a onetime day labourer, is content to carry on his fight.
