Baghdad.

"The Day of Slaughter" US-installed puppet regime announces massive 
sweep of largely Sunni areas beginning at dawn on Wednesday.  Shi`i 
sectarian militias known for the torture and murder of Sunnis are to 
take part along with US, Iraqi puppet troops.

In a dispatch posted at 3:40pm Makkah time Tuesday afternoon, 
Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the American-installed Iraqi puppet 
regime announced that it would begin a large-scale military 
operation involving the deployment of tens of thousands of Iraqi 
puppet army troops, puppet police and US occupation forces in al-
Anbar Province, Samarra', Ba`qubah, al-Mawsil, Kirkuk, al-Mada'in, 
al-Latifiyah, and neighborhoods in al-Hillah.  Sources are calling 
the impending operation the "Day of Slaughter."

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a statement 
issued by the puppet "Prime Minister" Nuri al-Maliki said that the 
purpose of the massive campaign of wholesale arrests and represion 
was to "draw out the `terrorists', cut off their movements and spot 
them and then arrest or neutralize them."  By "terrorists" the 
American-appointed puppet "Prime Minister" meant the Iraqi 
Resistance.

A source in the Iraqi puppet army's 6th Division told Mafkarat al-
Islam that the operation is to involve raids and searches of houses 
in the Baghdad districts of al-`Amiriyah, al-Ghazaliyah, al-Mansur, 
al-A`zamiyah, ad-Durah, al-Khadra', as-Salikh, al-Jihadh, and ash-
Sha`b.  The source said that US troops would openly lead the 
operation in areas outside of Baghdad, beginning at dawn on 
Wednesday.

The puppet army source said that Iraqi Sunnis were terrified at the 
prospect of the massive sweep that the American-installed regime is 
officially codenaming "forward together."  "The Day of Slaughter" is 
how Sunnis have taken to refer to the impending American-led 
campaign, Mafkarat al-Islam reported.  Iraq's Sunnis are 
particularly concerned because it has been reported that the puppet 
forces engaged in the massive offensive on the civilian population 
are to include the pro-American Shi`i sectarian militias, such as 
the Badr Brigade, whose record of wholesale torture and murder of 
Sunnis is well known.

Al-Jazeera satellite TV reported Iraqi puppet army Major 
General  `Abd al-`Aziz Muhammad as saying that more than 40,000 
American occupation soldiers and Iraqi puppet troops are to carry 
out the massive assault on the people of Iraq on Wednesday.  The 
general said that armored personnel carriers and tanks were to be 
used in the offensive, in which the Americans will rely on 
information from their Intelligence division to locate "suspects."

The puppet army general said that no date had been set for the 
conclusion of the massive repression campaign, because it is 
a "strategic plan" to "impose order" on regions where "tension" – 
i.e., resistance to the occupation – can be found.  Al-Jazeera 
reported that the plan "was apparently laid out by American 
commanders."

In a desperate attempt to limit the murderous effect of the 
impending sweep, Sunni religious leaders and notables in the 
targeted areas have urged families with more than three children to 
distribute the children in homes of relatives in order to prevent 
whole families from being arrested and then disappearing.

US shuts down telephone, internet communications in Sunni areas as 
American offensive throughout Iraq gets underway after dark Tuesday 
night.

In a dispatch posted at 9:45pm Makkah time Tuesday night, Mafkarat 
al-Islam reported that US occupation forces had shut down all 
telephone service – both land lines and cellular phones – and jammed 
Internet communications in all the predominantly Sunni areas of 
Baghdad.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the US 
occupation announced that a curfew had been imposed, beginning at 
9pm and lasting until 6am, preventing Sunnis from going to mosques 
to say their night or early morning prayers.

The correspondent reported that during the hours of curfew, large 
numbers of military vehicles began pouring into the Sunni areas of 
al-`Amiriyah, al-A`zamiyah, al-Ghazaliyah, al-Mansur, al-Jihad, ash-
Sha`b, as-Salikh, and ad-Durah as well as other areas as the 
offensive by US and Iraqi puppet troops and sectarian militias 
begins to get under way.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Baghdad reported that Sunni 
Iraqis in the capital are preparing for wholesale slaughter, 
beginning with mass arrests and ending with murders, given the 
active participation of the Shi`i sectarian militias in the 
offensive getting underway in during Tuesday-Wednesday night.

Mafkarat al-Islam apologized in advance for any delays that their 
coverage of events might experience in the next few days, since the 
extreme repression promised by the American backed-sectarian regime 
means that the capture of any Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent can 
only end with his death.

US President Bush visits Iraq on eve of "Day of Slaughter" offensive 
to meet puppet "Prime Minister" and celebrate killing of az-Zarqawi 
with occupation troops.

In a dispatch posted at 3:40pm Makkah time Tuesday afternoon, 
Mafkarat al-Islam reported that US President George W. Bush arrived 
on a surprise visit to occupied Iraq, apparently in order to 
encourage the American troops on the eve of a massive offensive that 
Iraqis are apprehensively calling the "Day of Slaughter."

The White House, as monitored by Mafkarat al-Islam, announced that 
Bush was to stay in occupied Iraq for only five hours, long enough 
for him to talk to US occupation troops and confer with the newly 
appointed puppet "Iraqi Prime Minister" Nuri al-Maliki.

The American Associated Press reported that Iraqi puppet "Prime 
Minister" Nuri al-Maliki met with Bush in the high security area 
around the Republican Palace in Baghdad, the area dubbed the "Green 
Zone" by US forces where the massive American embassy is located. 
Bush reportedly met with his top advisers on Iraq at Camp David on 
Monday, prior to making his unannounced visit to the American-
occupied country.

US-appointed "judge" closes hearings of American-sponsored 
show "trial" of Saddam Husayn, turning it into a secret process.

In a dispatch posted at 2:09pm Makkah time Tuesday afternoon, 
Mafkarat al-Islam reported that US-apppointed "judge" in the 
American-sponsored show "trial" of Iraqi President Saddam Husayn and 
seven other imprisoned Iraqi leaders closed the proceedings to the 
public and turned the 34th session of the "trial" into a secret 
session.

Al-Jazeera satellite TV, as monitored by Mafkarat al-Islam, reported 
that the "judge" Ra'uf Rashid `Abd ar-Rahman, a Kurd who has 
displayed open bias against the defendants since he was appointed to 
the bench by the US occupation, closed the session after one of the 
defense attorneys objected to the way the session was being handled.

Tuesday's 34th session was to be the last in which testimony for the 
defense was heard in a "case" that centers on the punishment by the 
Iraqi government of 148 individuals who took part in an attempt to 
over throw the Iraqi government and assassinate Saddam Husayn in the 
town of ad-Dujayl in 1982.  After the attempted putsch, the 
conspirators were brought to trial and executed according to the law 
of the Iraqi state.  Today the American occupation regime is 
attempting to present that case as a "crime" perpetrated by Iraqi 
President Saddam Husayn and other Iraqi leaders.  The first session 
of the American-backed show "trial" over the trumped-up charges took 
place on 19 October 2005.

Also on Tuesday, "judge" `Abd ar-Rahman again barred Barzan at-
Tikriti, the half-brother of Saddam Husayn and former head of Iraq's 
Intelligence, from the courtroom, having had him bodily expelled 
from Monday's session  after he argued with the "judge"

Resistance fighters kill four Shi`i sectarian gunmen in southern 
Baghdad.

In a dispatch posted at 11:35am Makkah time Tuesday morning, 
Mafkarat al-Islam reported that Iraqi Resistance fighters shot and 
killed four members of pro-American Shi`i sectarian militias on the 
main road in the as-Sayyidiyah area of southern Baghdad

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses in as-
Sayyidiyah as saying that Resistance fighters armed with machine 
guns attacked a sedan carrying four Shi`i sectarian militiamen on 
the main road to the southern Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah.  The 
Resistance fighters killed the four pro-American gunmen and then 
immediately withdrew from the area.

Witnesses said that the four who were killed had been involved in 
burning Sunni mosques in the period following the mysterious bombing 
of the Imam `Ali al-Hadi Shi`i shrine in Samarra' on 22 February 
2006.

Resistance bomb destroys US troop transport in western Baghdad's al-
Ghazaliyah district.

The Baghdad correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported 
eyewitnesses in the al-Ghazaliyah area as saying that a Resistance 
bomb that had been planted by the highway that goes to Iraq's 
western provinces blew up when a US column was driving past.  The

A second explosives-laden vehicle blew up five minutes later in the

on the Shi`ah and the Kurds – in keeping with American attempts to

his remarks were an attempt to spread sectarian strife in the 
country.
