Iraqi forces are still in control of the city, and they are engaging in an attrition war with the enemy.

What they say about a breakthrough is completely an illusion. They are sending their warplanes to fly very low in order to have vibrations on these sacred places.

The Americans, they always depend on a method what I call ... stupid, silly. All I ask is check yourself. Do not in fact repeat their lies.

They are still trying to bomb with artillery and rocket-propelled grenades to hit the Republican Guard who are controlling Saddam International Airport.

During the battles last night and at dawn, they [ Ba'th Socialist Party fighters] had destroyed three American helicopters

God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis.

.....they had burnt and destroyed around 30 vehicles, including tanks and APC's and damaged three enemy helicopters. God bless the fighters of the Arab Socialist Ba'th Party.
