Resistance maintains control of Mosul.

The American Associated Press (AP) and other Western
news media admitted on Friday that the Iraqi Resistance was
in charge of Mosul - the third largest city in the country -
after puppet police had been driven from the streets, and
US forces had been driven off at dawn from the five
strategic bridges that link the two sides of the city
together.

American forces were reportedly being rushed to the city in
a frantic effort by the aggressors to regain control. Al-
Jazeera reported American aircraft running air strikes on
the rebellious city Friday evening, although they noted that
the Americans were denying that the Resistance had
seized control there.

The puppet regime installed by the Americans in
Baghdad dismissed the puppet police chief in Mosul
after reports that the puppet police in the city were
surrendering their posts to the Resistance without firing a
shot.

The American Associated Press (AP) reported that
the Resistance in Mosul attacked the local headquarters of
the collaborationist Kurdish chauvinist so-called “Patriotic
Union of Kurdistan” party where a battle raged for an hour.

The Resistance also reportedly assassinated the puppet chief
of the Mosul “anti-crime” task force Brigadier General
Muwaffaq Muhammad Dahham and set his house
ablaze.

In a telephone interview with al-Jazeera satellite TV, Sayf ad-
Din al-Baghdadi, an official in the Resistance political
bureau called for battle against US forces around the country.
“I call on the scores or hundreds of the brothers from
the mujahideen . . . to press the American forces
outside” al-Fallujah, the AP quoted him as
saying.

“We chose the path of armed jihad and say clearly that
ridding Iraq of the occupation will not be done by ballots.
Iyyad ‘Allawi’s government. . . represents the
fundamentalist right-wing of the White House and not the
Iraqi people,” he asserted.
