| | To the extent there are “foreign fighters” in Tal Afar, they are men from across the region, fighting in an Arab country against Washington’s attempt to place Iraq under long-term American domination. | | | The Bush administration and its puppet regime in Baghdad have sought to justify the operation with lurid accusations that the insurgents are “terrorists” and Islamic extremists coming into Iraq from Syria. | | | The US military claimed on Sunday that 141 guerillas had been killed in Tal Afar since August 26, and another 211 captured. |
