Al-Anbar Province.

Al-Qa’im.

Resistance ambulance bomb blasts US column in al-Qa’im early Monday.

A powerful Iraqi Resistance martyrdom fighter driving an explosives-packed vehicle blew up next to a US military column west of al-Qa’im on the border with Syria Monday morning.

In a dispatch posted at 9:59am Mecca time, the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in al-Qa’im reported a source in the Iraqi puppet army who did not want to be identified said that an ambulance belonging to the puppet so-called “Iraqi ministry of health” approached a US column and turned on its siren as if it were transporting an emergency case. The Americans therefore got out of the way of the ambulance. As the vehicle approached, it veered to the right and into the American column where it blew up.

The correspondent reported that the blast destroyed two armored Humvees and disabled a third, inflicting 11 US casualties – some killed some wounded. Residents of al-Qa’im confirmed that the explosion was very large.

Afterwards, US troops surrounded the whole are and began arresting people, including the manager of the al-Qa’im ambulance service and a number of doctors on the charge that they had a hand in the attack.
