Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in al-Fallujah refutes mendacious US
media reports of Shi`i expulsions.

Since the bombing of the Shi`i Shrine in Samarra' on 22 February, the
Western media have sought to stoke sectarian conflict in Iraq.  On
Wednesday, 1 March, the American Washington Post carried a story that
echoed earlier claims published in the media of the puppet regime in
occupied Baghdad that Shi`i residents of al-Fallujah and other Sunni
areas were being expelled. The American paper claimed specifically
that nine Shi`i families were pulling out of the city on Tuesday

The al-Fallujah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the
story of the nine families supposedly being driven out of al-Fallujah
originally appeared in the pro-American paper Sawt al-`Iraq and on the
al-`Irqiyah television network which is run by the US-installed puppet
government.  The story also appeared in the newspaper al-Furat, which
is published by the pro-American Supreme Council for the Islamic
Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) run by `Abd al-`Aziz al-Hakim.

To check on the truth of the allegations, the Mafkarat al-Islam
correspondent headed to the al-`Askari neighborhood of eastern
al-Fallujah, one of the poorest parts of the city, which is home to
nine Shi`i families.

There the correspondent met with Abu Sahib, one of the Shi`i residents
who works in a bakery.  Abu Sahib affirmed that the report was
completely untrue, saying that the TV station al-`Iraqiyah was simply
lying and added, "and the best proof of that is that I'm standing here
in front of you right now."

The correspondent reported that the Shi`i families have been living in
al-Fallujah since 1990 doing various types of work related to the
local market in the middle of town.

al-Habbaniyah base with two medium-range rockets on Tuesday night.

The al-Habbaniyah correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported local
eyewitnesses as saying that two Resistance rockets blasted into the US
base, sending plumes of smoke rising into the sky.  American military
helicopters were seen hovering over the base and surrounding areas at
low altitude.

In a dispatch posted at 4:25pm Mecca time Wednesday afternoon,

carried out a campaign of house-to-house raids and arrests in the
az-Zaydan area southwest of Abu Ghurayb, some 30km west of Baghdad.

The Abu Ghurayb correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported local
eyewitnesses as saying that the Americans made an aerial landing near
the Mus`ab ibn `Umayr Mosque in the az-Zaydan area.  They killed the
two mosque guards, the brothers Hasan and `Abbas Dhiyab, and ripped
apart copies of the Qur'an that they found in the place of worship.

During their raid in the town, the Americans also killed two local
townsmen and arrested Haqqi Isma`il, one of the Imams of a local
mosque.  Also arrested was Shaykh Salih Mahdi, the head of the al-Bu
`Alwan tribe.  The Americans also burned down their houses.

network specifically directed against the residents of az-Zaydan.
