Yet another Ramadan passes with the Muslims suffering further onslaught at the hands of the colonialist Americans. In fact, this is the second Ramadan Iraq is under occupation, and bloodshed is everywhere. Recent conservative estimates by the 'New York Times' dated 19th October, suggests up to 208 Iraqis dying a week. And there is only one thing for sure, the slaughter of the Muslims in Iraq is set to escalate alarmingly as the countdown to an all out attack against the Muslims of Fallujah has gained momentum.

The British government has sent 850 Black Watch troops to the area coined as the "Triangle of Death", an area south of Baghdad to free up the US army so that it can prepare its attack against Fallujah.

It's now obvious: the United States will continue to use Abu Musab al-Zarqawidead, alive, or fictionalas a pretext to bomb Fallujah and punish its citizens for the crime of resisting the US occupation, even though an US military intelligence report issued last week revealed that al-Zarqawi is not nor has he ever been in Fallujah. Allawi has demanded that the Fallujah leaders hand over Zarqawi or the town will face major offensive. How would they turn over Zarqawi when they don't even know where he is?
