Abu Ghurayb.


In bold lightning attack, Iraqi Resistance fighters set free prisoners being taken to Abu Ghurayb.

Iraqi Resistance fighters carried out a bold operation on the road between the notorious Abu Ghurayb prison camp and Baghdad on Tuesday afternoon.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in the area reported that more than 15 Iraqi Resistance fighters attacked three Iraqi puppet army vehicles that were transporting a number of Iraqi prisoners to Abu Ghurayb following their arrests in Baghdad in an operation nicknamed “Thunder.”

The correspondent reported workers at the fuel station in the ash-Shurtah al-Khamisah district who witnessed the attack as saying that the Resistance fighters liberated the prisoners after attacking the military vehicles with RPG7 rocket-propelled grenades and medium machine guns in an extremely quick operation. The attackers took advantage of the fact that the convoy of prisoners had no helicopter air cover to protect it.

The witnesses told Mafkarat al-Islam that the attackers withdrew taking the freed prisoners with them in small cars which disappeared from view in the narrow side streets of the area.

Meanwhile the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported that on reaching the scene of the attack, he found bloodstains and remains of the Iraqi puppet soldiers still strewn about the middle of the road. The wreckage of three stricken vehicles was still on the scene as well; their drivers had tried to flee from the Resistance attackers seeking cover by the side of the road, but the vehicles had already been set ablaze and there they stopped.

The US-installed Iraqi puppet “Ministry of Defense” issued a statement saying that a number of puppet soldiers and Abu Ghurayb prison employees had been killed but made no mention of the escape of any Iraqi prisoners from the convoy.
