Jaish Al-Islami (Islamic Army of Iraq) has released a spectacular video that shows their group firing mortars into the US Falcon base and the subsequent explosions that occurred as reports that “dozens” of Americans were killed in the massive attack surfaced.

Last Tuesday, a coordinated attack, leveled the US base in Baghdad when mortars and rocket fire struck the munitions arsenal located on the base. In the new video release, one of the Jaish al-Islami’s field Commanders explains the great victory that Allah granted. Quoting a US Military Commander who was cited by news agencies, the JI commander stated that the US lost hundreds of millions of dollars in the attack, and the losses encompassed all the equipment in the base, including the base's smart weapons cache, US vehicles, a large number UAVs, administrative and archival material belonging to the 7th Marine Corp that was completely destroyed along with a large number of tanks and aircraft.

The best part, the JI Commander explains in the video, is that this huge loss was caused by just two Katyusha rockets and three 120mm mortars that cost less than $300 to make.

The JI Commander asked the Mujahideen in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Chechnya and all over the world, along with the Muslims who couldn't join the Jihad for once reason or another and the Ulema Muslims to assign one day in the last 10 days of Ramadhan to pray to Allah to grant victory to the Muslim Ummah, and hasten the establishment of the state of Islam.

“Dozens” Of Americans Reported Killed In Falcon Base Attack; US Accuses Translators

US forces have begun accusing Iraqi translators working for the American occupation of leaking information to the Iraqi Resistance that facilitated the devastating attack on the Falcon Forward Base arsenal late on Tuesday night, October 10, 2006.

A source in the Iraqi puppet army told Quds Press that US authorities have opened an investigation into the attack to try to determine how the Iraqi Resistance obtained detailed information on the location of the arms and ammunition in the arsenal that allowed them to carry out a strike with such precision.

“The (American) forces are sure that two of the Iraqi translators who were working for them leaked information and gave particulars to the “insurgents” (Iraqi Resistance). They (the Americans) have suspicions regarding a third translator who left the base one day before the attack and never joined up again.”

Quds Press noted that although the American authorities reported no casualties in the attack, the Iraqi source, who asked not to be identified, said that “dozens” of American soldiers were killed in the explosions that rocked the arsenal for hours on Tuesday-Wednesday night. The source said that the US military have in their custody the bodies of six Iraqi translators who were killed in the blasts, and the Americans were refusing to release those remains to their families for reasons that remain unknown.

The video that depicts the “Shock and Awe” explosions that brought the US base down, appears as the next front page news item. You be the judge. (JUS)
