Convoy attack killed at least 4 female GIs From Tribune news services Published June 26, 2005   BAGHDAD -- At least four women serving in the U.S. military, including three Marines, are among the six known dead in a suicide car bombing in Fallujah on Thursday, military officials in Baghdad and Washington said on Friday. It was the largest number of female service members killed in a single attack during the Iraq war. Eleven women were also among the 13 Marines wounded in the strike, which began when the car approached a military convoy carrying about 20 Marines and sailors traveling to checkpoint duties on the edge of Fallujah. Most if not all of the personnel riding in the back of the truck when it was hit were American women assigned to search Iraqi women who pass through the checkpoint. Of the 37 women among the at least 1,728 service members that had been killed in Iraq as of Wednesday, nearly all had died within units made up largely of men. On Thursday, for the first time in the war, a large number of women suffered and died together after a strike that military officials suspect was carefully planned and may have deliberately targeted the women. The attack came in the middle of a debate over the proper role of women in the U.S. military. Although women are not supposed to be used in combat roles, the Iraq war is a conflict without a defined front line, where attacks can come from any direction, at any time. Women who drive in logistics convoys or serve as engineers are at risk every day of encountering ambushes, suicide bombings and remotely detonated explosives.   General Natonkowski Given those realities, commanders have quietly relaxed the rules to allow women to be deployed as turret gunners in Humvees and a wide array of other duties that put them in the line of fire. "Among Marines in the field, the gender lines have already been erased," one senior officer said. "You can't go to Iraq and not be at risk in some way, and that's what all of us who put on a uniform here understand Meanwhile, gunmen on Friday killed an aide to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's most revered Shiite cleric. Police said two bodyguards were also killed trying to protect Shiite cleric Samara al-Baghdadi, who represented al-Sistani in Baghdad's predominantly Shiite al-Amin district. Iraqi security forces also discovered the bodies of eight beheaded men -- at least six of whom were Shiite farmers -- in a region north of Baghdad on Friday. It was unclear why the men were killed. News of the Marine deaths came as President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari in Washington both pledged eventual victory over insurgents. "The enemy's goal is to drive us out of Iraq before the Iraqis have established a secure democratic government. They will not succeed," Bush said. Fallujah, in Anbar province, was the scene of a large-scale campaign in November by U.S. troops to rout militants. Residents of Fallujah call it the "City of Mosques" for its many Muslim houses of worship. Along with neighboring Ramadi, the city and the region around Fallujah are located in the heart of the insurgency that is fighting the U.S. military presence in Iraq and al-Jaafari's government. A U.S.-led offensive in November finally wrested Fallujah from insurgents. The U.S. military says 1,200 insurgents were slain and about 2,000 suspects captured in the battle. At least 54 U.S. troops and eight Iraqi soldiers were killed.

This is your last chance, Fallujah rebels are told as US prepares ground attack
By Toby Harnden in Ramadi
(Filed: 29/10/2004)

Iraq's government yesterday offered the leaders of rebel-held Fallujah a "last" chance to negotiate as an American military commander described the city as a cancer that had to be dealt with.

Iyad Allawi, the Iraqi prime minister, indicated that time was fast running out for those who were harbouring insurgents there.

"This chance could be the last," he said in a statement, imploring "the leaders and notables of Fallujah to use it to find a political solution".

But with military preparations at an advanced stage and American officials suggesting a major offensive could begin next week, there appeared little hope of a deal.

"Fallujah is a cancer," said Maj Gen Richard Natonski, commander of the 1st Marine Division, who would lead any ground attack. "We can't have a sanctuary for the enemy and expect to make progress."

He said he had received no request from the Iraqi government to carry out military operations and offered no opinion on whether a peaceful solution was possible. "I don't know who they're negotiating with."

But he made clear that his men were ready for action in Fallujah. "It's a rats' nest but if we have to go in and clear it out we will." He urged the foreign elements in Fallujah and those loyal to Saddam Hussein's regime to come out and fight.

"We can take these guys on if they show their faces. Not a problem whatsoever. That's why they've resorted to the tactics they have [suicide bombings and landmines] because they know every time we face them we kill them."

Speaking in his headquarters at Ramadi, 30 miles west of Fallujah, he said the insurgents appeared to be preparing for battle. "There's some indications they are fortifying." Intelligence reports have suggested that elaborate booby traps have been laid.

In recent weeks, fighting has intensified in Ramadi, the capital of al-Anbar province. At least two Iraqis were killed and eight wounded in clashes in the city yesterday.

But Maj Gen Natonski said: "Ramadi's not going to fall. We don't have to worry about that. We've had some tough fights here, especially lately, but we've taken the fight to the enemy."

Violence has surged in Iraq in the past few months and during the holy month of Ramadan, which ends in just over two weeks. Yesterday, two American soldiers were killed in rocket and bomb blasts.

A group calling itself the Army of Ansar al-Sunna issued a statement saying it had killed 11 kidnapped members of the Iraqi National Guard, beheading one and shooting the other 10.

At the weekend, at least 49 members of the new Iraqi army were summarily executed by the side of a remote road after being ambushed.

In signs of tensions between the Iraqi government and the United States, Mr Allawi accused the Americans of negligence in failing to protect the soldiers.

After his comments were reported, aides sought to play them down, emphasising that Mr Allawi would await the outcome of an investigation into the atrocity, which appeared to have been carried out with inside information.

But Maj Gen Natonski said American and Iraqi forces would fight side by side if there was a battle for Fallujah, and there was no doubt who would win.

28 October 2004: Troops head for danger zone

·   Polish Defense Minster Jerzy took President George W. Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to task for publicly revealing GROM’s part in securing oil-drilling rigs in the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr. Szmajdziński said the activities of special units should be shrouded in secrecy and added that US officials do not reveal details of the tasks performed by their country’s special forces.

·   Most Poles felt that GROM Commander Col. Roman Polko was punitively recalled to Warsaw for allowing himself and his men to be photographed by a news photographer. Few believed the government’s explanation that had returned in the middle of a war “to complete his post-graduate studies”.

·   US Brigadier General Rich Natoński, the Polish-American commander of the Marine Task Force Tarawa which had liberated the city of Amarah, encountered a typical Iraqi reaction when the local Shiite sheik told him that “the Americans do not know what’s best for Iraq, only Iraqis do.” Natoński assured local leaders that American soldiers “also want to go home also to their families.”

·   The Polish-American Brigadier General Rich Natoński told reporters he had had a 12-year-old girl, shot in the head during the siege, evacuated by helicopter after his medics had treated her.

The initial story

The first story was that a suicide bomber drove his car into a truck full of soldiers, and four female Marines were killed. The bombing was followed by a firefight. The next story is a few were missing.



More news trickled out

The suicide car bomb and ensuing small-arms fire killed at least two Marines and four others were missing and presumed dead. At least one woman Marine was killed and 11 of 13 wounded were female.

It now appears that the four missing female Marines were found in a garbage dump, and that they had their throats slit. We know IDF mercs have been killing Iraqis this way for 2 months now. We also know that 19 IDF mercenaries shot at Marines, and were captured and had the hell beat out of them during their captivity at Camp Fallujah, and someone important got them out of Iraq in a hurry.

More US Women Soldiers Killed?

Extract from Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Thursday, 30 June 2005

Note we cannot confirm or verify the follow extract but post it nonetheless, to counteract the disinformation being broadcast as “news” by the Western media.

On Thursday morning, US occupation forces discovered the bodies of the four American soldiers who were captured in the Resistance attack that took place in al-Fallujah one week earlier, on Thursday, 23 June 2005. A source in the Iraqi puppet army told Mafkarat al-Islam that the throats of the four American women soldiers had been slit and their bodies (lain) in the area of stone quarries south of al-Fallujah.

In its report posted at 10:35am Mecca time, the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the American occupation forces had at that time made no comment on the discovery of the corpses, though they had earlier listed the women soldiers as “missing” in the Resistance car bomb attack of the previous week.

Attack focuses attention on female troops in Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) — The lethal ambush of a convoy carrying female U.S. troops in Fallujah underscored the difficulties of keeping women away from the front lines in a war where such boundaries are far from clear-cut. As the U.S. battles growing insurgency, female troops are taking a greater part in close-quarters combat. AFP The suicide car bomb and ensuing small-arms fire killed at least two Marines, and four others were missing and presumed dead. At least one woman was killed and 11 of 13 wounded were female. The ambush late Thursday also suggested Iraqi insurgents may have regained a foothold in Fallujah, which has been occupied by U.S. and Iraqi forces since they regained control of the restive city from insurgents seven months ago. (Related story: Convoy containing female Marines hit in Iraq) The women were part of a team of Marines assigned to various checkpoints around Fallujah. The Marines use females at the checkpoints to search Muslim women "in order to be respectful of Iraqi cultural sensitivities," a military statement said. It is considered insulting for men to search female Muslims. The terror group al-Qaeda in Iraq claimed it carried out the ambush, one of the single deadliest attacks against the Marines — and against women — in this country. The high number of female casualties spoke to the lack of any real front lines in Iraq, where U.S. troops are battling a raging insurgency and American women soldiers have taken part in more close-quarters combat than in any previous military conflict. "It's hard to stop suicide bombers, and it's hard to stop these people that in many cases are being smuggled into Iraq from outside Iraq," President Bush said at a joint White House news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari on Friday. Current Pentagon policy prohibits women from serving in front line combat roles — in the infantry, armor or artillery, for example. But an increasing number of female troops have been exposed to hostile fire. Thirty-six female troops have died since the war began, including the one that was announced Friday, said Maj. Michael Shavers, a Pentagon spokesman. Thirty-four were Army, one Navy and one Marine. Most have died from hostile fire. More than 11,000 women are serving in Iraq, part of 138,000 U.S. troops in the country, said Staff Sgt. Don Dees, a U.S. military spokesman. Thursday's attack may have been the single largest involving female U.S. service members since a Japanese suicide pilot slammed his plane into the USS Comfort near the Philippines in 1945, killing six Army nurses, according to figures from the Women in Military Service for America Memorial Foundation. Three Army women were among 28 U.S. troops who died during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 when a Scud missile struck a Marine barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, the Washington-based foundation said on its Web site. The three were among a total of 16 women who died in Desert Storm. Four were killed by hostile fire. One woman was listed as killed in action during the Vietnam War, two women died in the USS Cole bombing in 2000 and eight military women died at the Pentagon during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the foundation said. In Thursday's attack, the Marines were returning to their base, Camp Fallujah, when the ambush took place near the eastern entrance to the city, 40 miles west of Baghdad. Fallujah is a former insurgent stronghold invaded by U.S. forces at great cost last November. It is also the city where an Iraqi mob hung the mutilated bodies of two U.S. contractors from a bridge. On Nov. 2, 2003, two female Army soldiers were in a Chinook helicopter shot down over Fallujah. The State Department says about 90,000 of Fallujah's 300,000 residents have recently returned to the city, which benefited from Saddam Hussein's 23 years in power, as did other cities in the Sunni-dominated area north and west of Baghdad. The former dictator, himself a Sunni, recruited many Republican Guard officers and security agents from the area. Lance Cpl. Holly A. Charette, 21, from Cranston, R.I., died in the attack, the Defense Department said Friday. She was assigned to Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. A male Marine was also killed in the ambush, the military said. His family identified him as Cpl. Chad Powell, 22, from northern Louisiana. It was unclear how he was killed. The military did not provide the genders of the missing three Marines and a sailor who were believed to be in the vehicle that was attacked. They were presumed dead, said a U.S. military official in Washington who spoke on condition of anonymity because the victims have not been identified. The attack, which raised the death toll among U.S. military members since the beginning of the war to 1,732, came as Americans have grown increasingly concerned about a conflict that has shown no signs of abating. One year ago, 842 U.S. service members had died in Iraq, compared to 194 on that date in 2003. The relentless carnage has killed more than 1,250 people since April 28, when al-Jaafari announced his Shiite-dominated government. With the Sunni Arab-dominated insurgency targeting the Shiite majority, the wave of killings has slowly been pushing the country toward civil war. In one such sectarian killing, gunmen on Friday killed an aide to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's most revered Shiite cleric. Police said two bodyguards were also killed trying to protect Shiite cleric Samir al-Baghdadi, who represented al-Sistani in Baghdad's predominantly Shiite al-Amin district. Elsewhere, gunmen ambushed a police patrol in western Iraq, killing eight policemen and wounding one on Friday, police and hospital officials said Saturday. The attack happened in the Anbar provincial capital of Ramadi, Dr. Munim al-Kubaisi and Dr. Mohammed al-Ani said. The area is an insurgent stronghold and the police officers were assigned to protect highways on the city's outskirts. On Saturday, gunmen killed two policemen patrolling western Baghdad and wounded three others, police 1st Lt. Thaer Mahmoud said. The victims belonged to a commando unit, he said. Also, a suicide car bomber blew himself up Saturday outside an Iraqi police officer's home north of Baghdad, killing at least six people and wounding at least a dozen, police said.

Valdez was one of six U.S. service members who were killed in the blast, which cast a spotlight on the threats facing military women in a conflict where a violent insurgency has blurred the notion of a front line. Two other women, Petty Officer Regina Clark, 43, of Centralia, Wash., and Lance Cpl. Holly Charette, 21, of Cranston, Rhode Island, were also killed by the bomber, and another eleven women were among 13 Marines injured.

 Female Troops Face Hostile Fire in Iraq

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A suicide bomb attack on a U.S. convoy in Falluja marked the bloodiest day for U.S. female troops serving in Iraq.

Insurgents bombed a truck carrying 19 U.S. military personnel Thursday night and then ambushed it, U.S. military sources said.

At least four Marines -- including three women -- were killed. Of the 13 Marines wounded, 11 were female, the sources said Friday.

    The suicide car bomb and ensuing small-arms fire killed at least two Marines and four others were missing and presumed dead. At least one woman was killed and 11 of 13 wounded were female.

June 24, 2005 --  At least six Marines, three of them female, were killed after a suicide bomber rammed into their military vehicle Thursday night in Fallujah, Iraq, ABC News has confirmed.

The military said in a statement that two Marines were killed and 13 wounded, 11 of them women. If confirmed, it would be the largest one-day casualty count for women serving in the military since the start of the war in Iraq.

In addition, three Marines and a sailor believed to be in the vehicle are currently missing, according to the statement.

The open, seven-ton armored truck was ferrying members of a U.S. military civil affairs team to perform checkpoint searches 40 miles west of Baghdad, according to officials. Fallujah, 30 miles west of Baghdad in the Anbar province, was the site of violent fighting last November as U.S. troops attempted to oust militants.

It was to be a routine "swap out," or shift change, that included a high number of women because of the need to have females search women travelers at checkpoints.

The majority of the fatalities were Marines assigned to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force from Camp LeJeune, N.C., according to 2nd Lt. Barry Edwards. They were assigned to Camp Fallujah.

At least 1,730 members of the U.S. military have died since the war began in March 2003, with 44 women among the casualties.

While every servicemember's death, regardless of gender, is a loss, targeting female troops may be the latest attempt to shock and destabilize U.S. forces. It was not clear whether this was an intentional attack on female troops, but many recent suicide attacks have targeted civilians, including women and children.

Bomb to Shock

Car bombers have struck Iraq 480 times in the past year with a third of the attacks occurring in the last two months, according to an Associated Press count based on reports from police, military and hospital officials.

"They would like to force out the occupiers," Jessica Stern, a lecturer at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and the author of "Terror in the Name of God," said on ABC's "Nightline" on May 22.

"Their goal is to impose such heavy costs on the United States that we just can't stand it anymore," Stern said.

The attack, which raised the death toll among U.S. military members since the beginning of the war to 1,731, came as Americans have grown increasingly concerned about a conflict that has shown no signs of abating.

The attack came on top of a series of similarly devastating bombing attacks on marines in Anbar Province, west of Baghdad in recent weeks, including two in the past month in which five or more marines died in each. At least 17 marines have been killed in the province in the past 10 days alone, and several hundred since the American-led invasion two years ago.

A British publication, the Lancet, estimated that about 100,000 civilians had died in Iraq, over half of them women and children, since the beginning of the U.S.-led invasion.
