Saddam Fedayeen behind attacks on U.S. soldiers

--- "We have many more people and we're a lot better organised than the Americans realise," said Khaled, 29, who gave an hour-long interview Wedn-esday. "We have been prep-aring for this guerrilla war for a long time, and we're much more patient than the Americans. We have nowhere else to go."

Khaled described the workings of a loosely organised network of former Baath Party members, Iraqi soldiers, intelligence officers and other die-hard Saddam supporters who have been responsible for an unknown number of the attacks that have killed 29 U.S. soldiers and injured dozens since May 1.

He said the network operates in cells of five or six members that answer to a secret leadership structure. It goes by various names – the Fedayeen, the Iraq Liberation Army, Mohammed's Army – and Khaled said only a handful of people know its full reach. He said its members draw inspiration from Saddam and from the belief that the ousted Iraqi leader is alive and will regain power once U.S. troops are forced to leave. ---

It is an account that contradicts statements by several U.S. officials, including Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who argue that the Iraqi insurgency is a disorganised movement of former Baathists and thousands of criminals who were released from prison by Saddam last year. ---

1. Informative article

The link you gave is to another publication, but gave a copyright by LA Times and Washington Post.

I didn't immediately find this published in the Post.

2. The Gulf Times credited those sources so I did too.

I didn't check on them. The article was full of quotes with little or no opinions so I assume it is accurate.
