Nine Americans Killed in lraqi Attacks; Bodies of Civilians Mutilated By Sewell Chan | The Washington Post FALLUJAH, Iraq - Four American civilians were ambushed and shot to death here Wednesday by insurgents, witnesses and US. officials said. Townspeople mutilated the bodies of two of the men, dragged them through the streets, suspended them from a bridge and burned them while crowds danced and cheered. Two hour earlier, 12 miles away near the town of Habbaniya. five U.S. Army soldiers were killed when their armored vehicle ran over a roadside bomb that left a 10- by 15-foot crater. It was the deadliest such attack since the invasion of Iraq one year ago, and it made March the second deadliest month for the U.S. military since the beginning of the war. The four men killed in the Fallujah ambush were not immediately identified. Officials said they were employed by a private security firm, Blackwater Security Consulting. of Moyock, N.C., which issued a statement confirming the deaths of four of its employees. The extraordinary attacks stunned U S. officials and signaled a new level of violence and brutality in an insurgency that has directed its lethal energy ai every symbol of the American-led occupation: troops, contractors. aid workers, and Iraqis viewed as collaborators. Even on the battle-scarred streets of Fallujah, residents said they were shocked by the ferocity of the insurgents and their sympathizers. White House press secretary Scott McClellan, blamed terrorists and loyalists of deposed president Saddam Hussein for the horrific attacks and vowed that they would not alter U.S. plans to turn over political power to an interim Iraqi government on June 30. In Baghdad, Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said, Fallujah remains one of those cities in Iraq that just dont get it. The violence here came five days after a running gun battle in the streets of Fallujah left 15 Iraqis and one Marine dead. The city, about 35 miles west of Baghdad, has been the site of some of the fiercest anti- American attacks in the country. None of the earlier violence, however, featured the grisly acts played out across the center of Fallujah for hours on Wednesday. U.S. officials said that their information about the assault was limited and sketchy. Quite frankly, we dont yet know what has happened today, Kimmitt, the deputy director of operations for the militarys joint task force in Iraq, said at a news conference. It would be premature to judge or criticize or make even any assessment of what happened today until we know all the facts. lragi witnesses interviewed hours after the attack provided descriptions af the violence that were generally consistent but could not be independently verified. The ambush was carried out by three insurgents who drove into town on a large truck, witnesses said. After shooting the four Americans, the attackers left the area, witnesses said. The desecration of the victims bodies was perpetrated by mobs of enraged townspeople. Lt. Col. Jalal Sabri Khamis Taee. the head of police patrols in Fallujah, said 11 of his officers arrived after the killings and found hundreds of people. old and young chanting slogans against the Americans. Crowds carried the bodies of two victims to the nearby Euphrates River and hung the corpses from one of two bridges that span the waterway. Hours later, the bodies were cut down, tossed onto a pile of tires and set afire. The bodies were then dragged behind a donkey cart to Fallujahs municipal building and dumped there, only to be tied to the bumper of a car and dragged away to an unknown location. By nightfall, the Ist Marine Expeditionary Force, which took over responsibility for security in western Iraq last week, had not entered Fallujah to retrieve the bodies. we _news@email .wcu.edu MIDEAST WALL: A WINDOW IS CLOSING: Zafari abu Shari weeps at the site of the barrier Israel is building in and around the West Bank. | The divide is Jikely to separate her from Jayous, the village | closest to her home, which she and her family _ rely on for supplies. Israel says the barrier, which in some places juts deeply into territory claimed by Palestinians, is needed to keep out suicide bombers, and it credits the fence - which is about one-quarter complete - for a decline in attacks against Israelis. ( 2004 LA Times photo by Rick Loomis.) The deaths of the four Americans brought to 16 the number of foreign civilians killed in Iraq since March 9. Before Wednesday, six Americans. two Finns and one citizen each from Britain, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands had been slain. The statement issued by the company that employed the Americans. Blackwater Security, said four members of its staff were killed in the attack while providing security on a food convoy for a U.S. government subcontractor. The company did not provide details about the identities of the dead men or about whether there were more than two vehicles in the convoy. Blackwater Security is a division of Blackwater USA, which has a 6,000 acre training site in northeastern North Carolina. Blackwater trains security and law enforcement personnel for domestic and overseas assignments and emphasizes its use of former Special Operations forces from the military, particularly Navy SEALs, an elite commando unit. The name Blackwater alludes to the commando practice of deploying into water at night. The company also has a contract to provide the personal security detail for L. Paul Bremer, the U.S, administrator for Iraq. Some witnesses said the insurgents had planned Wednesday's ambush in advance. Esam Yassin, 22, who sells biscuits and soft drinks at a small shop on Highway 10, said owners of businesses along the four-lane road were warned Wednesday morning to stay away from the area because of an impending clash with the Americans. The attack occurred in a commercial district that is normally busy. But on Wednesday, Yassin said, the morning streets were nearly devoid of their normal pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Yassin said insurgents were circulating this message: We will be waiting here for them and a big battle will happen. So we dont want civilians to be around, Wednesday's bombing of a Bradley Fighting Vehicle near Habbaniya brought to 408 the number of U.S. troops killed in combat since the invasion of Iraq. At least 48 of those deaths came in March, making it the deadliest month for American forces since November, when 82 troops were killed. In Baghdad, several thousand young Shiite Muslim men marched on Wednesday to protest the closing of a newspaper published by an anti- American cleric. The march was peaceful, but the young, mostly unemployed men who make up the so-called Mahdi Army chanted their readiness to take up arms on behalf of their Shiite clerical leader, Mogtada Sadr, (Special correspondent Naseer Nouri in Fi allujah, correspondent Karl Vick in Baghdad and staff writers Mary Pat Flaherty, Dana Priest and Jackie Spinner in Washington contributed to this report.) 2004 WASHINGTON POST
