Analysis: US 'emulates' Israeli tactics

14-04-2004 17:49

Israeli' tactics / The US is taking tips from Israel to crush the Iraq insurgency With sporadic fighting in Falluja and US forces moving into position outside Najaf, the Arab press is pointing to similarities between US military operations in Iraq and the tactics Israeli forces employ in the West Bank and Gaza. Such similarities are not coincidental. The Israeli army has long experience of offensive operations in urban areas and it is experience that the Pentagon has been eager to draw upon. Israel and the US have developed a close military relationship over the years. Go to any US military exercise and Israeli observers are much in evidence.

The truth of what's happening in Falluja has to get out.

14-04-2004 16:16

Jo Wilding, April 11th, Falluja

Trucks, oil tankers, tanks are burning on the highway east to Falluja.

for us and for the people inside still inside Falluja.
