US occupation forces announced on their propaganda radio beamed at local residents
of ar-Ramadi that the US military would stop raiding houses and mosques, would
open roads to local people and turn the electricity and drinking water supply
in the city back on if local residents would cooperate by informing the American
occupation troops of the locations and bases of Iraqi Resistance fighters operating
in the city against the Americans.
The statement on the US radio said that the US would launch a program for employing
unemployed youths and offer financial help for those wanting to get married
on condition that the men and women of ar-Ramadi cooperate and inform the Americans
on the Resistance fighters.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the Americans made the
announcement more than six times by the time he filed his report (posted at
10:22am Mecca time Wednesday morning). The US propaganda station also jammed
other local and international radio stations to force listeners in their cars
or homes to hear their announcement.
The statement told residents that they could dial the special local telephone
number 104 to contact the occupation troops – whom they called “the
coalition forces” – to inform them of the whereabouts of Resistance
fighters, whom it called “terrorists.”
At the same time, however, the American propaganda radio warned that the people
of ar-Ramadi would meet a fate similar to that of the residents of al-Fallujah
together with all the destruction inflicted on their city during the US offensives
there, if they failed to cooperate with the Americans.
