One man's resistance: 'Why I turned against America'
Jason Burke in Baghdad reports on the confused psychology of the Iraqi resistance and meets a Sunni guerrilla who welcomed the Americans at first but is now happy to have black GIs in his sights
Jason Burke in Baghdad
Sunday September 12, 2004
The Observer
'There is no greater shame than to see your country occupied'
Early one morning this week, when the police have yet to set up too many checkpoints, Abu Mujahed will strap a mortar underneath a car, drive to a friend's in central Baghdad and bury the weapon in his garden. In the evening he will return with the rest of his group, sleep for a few hours and then take the weapon from its hiding place. He will calculate the range using the American military's own maps and satellite pictures - bought in a bazaar - and fire a few rounds at a military base or the US Embassy or at the Iraqi Prime Minister's office. Then Abu Mujahed will shower, change and, by 10am, be at his desk in one of the major ministries.
Last week he sat in a Baghdad hotel speaking to The Observer. A chubby man in his thirties with a shaven head, a brown sports shirt, slacks and a belt with a cheap fake-branded buckle, he gave a chilling account of his life fighting 'the occupation'. He talked for more than three hours and revealed:
· How his resistance group, comprising self-taught Sunni Muslim Iraqis, is almost completely independent, choosing targets and timings themselves, but occasionally receiving broad strategic directions from a religious 'sheikh' most of them have never met.
· How it is funded by Iraqis in Europe, including the UK, and from wealthy sympathisers in Saudi Arabia.
· How it has rejected any alliance with al-Qaeda affiliated 'foreign fighters' and Shia militia.
· How it receives intelligence from 'friends' within the coalition forces.
· How it runs a counter-intelligence operation that has resulted in the execution of two suspected spies in recent weeks.
· How it is learning increasingly sophisticated techniques and plans to detonate big bombs in Baghdad soon.
He also spoke about the difficulties of continuing security operations against them and admitted that many Iraqis do not support their actions. Much of Abu Mujahed's account is corroborated by various independent sources.
Intelligence experts in Iraq talk of three main types of insurgent. There is the Mahdi Army of Shia Muslims who follow the radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and have led recent resistance to coalition forces in northern Baghdad, the central shrine city of Najaf, and Basra, the southern port under British control. There is also 'al-Qaeda' - non-Iraqi militants who have come to Iraq to wage jihad. And finally the 'former regime loyalists', who are said to want the return of Saddam Hussein or, if that is impossible, his Baath party.
Abu Mujahed, worryingly for the analysts, fits into none of these easy categories. For a start, he was pro-American before the invasion. 'The only way to breathe under the old regime was to watch American films and listen to their music,' he said. He had been a Bon Jovi fan.
'It gave me a glimpse of a better life. When I heard that the Americans were coming to liberate Iraq I was very happy. I felt that I would be able to live well, travel and have freedom. I wanted to do more sport, get new appliances and a new car and develop my life. I thought the US would come here and our lives would be changed through 180 degrees.'
He spoke of how his faith in the US was shaken when, via a friend's illicitly imported satellite TV system, he saw 'barbaric, savage' pictures of civilian casualties of the fighting and bombing. The next blow came in the conflict's immediate aftermath, as looters ran unchecked through Baghdad.
'When I saw the American soldiers watching and doing nothing as people took everything, I began to suspect the US was not here to help us but to destroy us,' he said.
Abu Mujahed, whose real name is not known by The Observer, said: 'I thought it might be just the chaos of war but it got worse, not better.'
He was not alone and swiftly found that many in the Adhamiya neighbourhood of Baghdad shared his anger and disappointment. The time had come. 'We realised. We had to act.'
Nothing had been planned in advance. There has been speculation, and especially among American officials, that Saddam's henchmen had planned a 'guerrilla war' if defeated. But Abu Mujahed, who described himself as 'a Muslim but not religious', and the others in his group were not working to any plan. Everything they did was improvised. And each of his seven-man group had a different motive: 'One man was fighting for his nation, another for a principle, another for his faith.'
Significantly, his group contains several former soldiers, angry at the controversial demobilisation of the Iraqi military by the coalition last year. Others, like Abu Mujahed, have salaried government jobs. The cell is not part of any broader organisation and does not have a name, he said. 'We are just local people ... There is a sheikh who co-ordinates some of the various groups but I do not know who he is.'
To start with, the group lacked armaments and know-how. 'We made some careful inquiries. Some people gave us weapons, others sold us stuff they had looted,' he said. The group also sought out experts, often former military officers, who gave impromtu tutorials in bomb-making and communications .
The group's first operation - in June last year - was an attempted ambush of three US soldiers in Adhamiya. It was a fiasco. 'We were so confused and scared we opened fire at random,' Abu Mujahed said. 'They took cover and we ran away.'
Their next try was more successful. The lead vehicle of an American military convoy ran over an anti-tank mine the group had laid in a road. 'We think we killed the driver,' he said. 'We found the mine in a house that had been used by the military during the war. The Americans were not expecting that sort of device.'
Over the next months the group varied the tactics. 'One day we try and snipe them, the next we use an IED [Improvised Explosive Device], the next a mine. We never get any orders from anybody. We are just told: "Today you should do something," but it is up to us to decide what and when.'
Black soldiers are a particular target. 'To have Negroes occupying us is a particular humiliation,' Abu Mujahed said, echoing the profound racism prevalent in much of the Middle East. 'Sometimes we aborted a mission because there were no Negroes.'
In contrast to many militants, who have killed hundreds of Iraqis in the last year, Abu Mujahed said his group was careful not to kill locals. 'We are now planning to use bigger bombs in central Baghdad. But it is hard because there are so many civilians.' Support for the militants is far from universal. They are not attracting new recruits and finances are tight, he admitted.
'We used to be able to use banks and bank transfers. Now it is harder,' Abu Mujahed said. 'Often sympathisers buy cars in Saudi Arabia or Jordan and we get them driven to Baghdad or Basra and we sell them. A supporter in the UK has recently sent an Opel pick-up. But most of our money comes from local people who support what we do but can't fight themselves.'
Tactics depend on resources. The price of rocket-propelled grenades has gone up recently as supplies dried up during August's heavy fighting between Americans and the Mahdi Army in Najaf. The missiles now cost 25,000 Iraqi dinars (around £10) in markets in Sadr City, the northern Shia Muslim-dominated area of Baghdad - 10 times the immediate post-war price. The group is restricted to one attack every few days.
There are also spies. He boasted of information from 'friends within the coalition' and said that his group have executed two suspected informers within Adhamiya. One was killed less than three weeks ago, after being under surveillance for a month. 'He had a wife and child but I did not feel bad. He was a fox. He was made to kneel and shot in the head.' Other suspected spies have been threatened and fled Baghdad.
Western intelligence analysts worry that various resistance elements might combine. But Abu Mujahed dismissed the Mahdi Army as 'thugs and traitors who ... welcomed the Americans to Iraq with flowers and then went looting' and said that relations with Islamic militants coming from overseas are worse.
'Some have no allegiance to any group, others have so much money they must come from al-Qaeda. It is impossible to work with them. They are bloody people, far too irrational. They do not care if they kill innocent Iraqi people. They are terrorists.'
Last week US military casualties in Iraq passed the 1,000 mark, most killed since the end of the war by the actions of men like Abu Mujahed. The former engineering student said he does not know how many his group has killed: 'It is impossible to say what has been hit. I could boast of killing maybe 25, but to be honest we don't know,' he said. 'Maybe only five or six.'
'I know the soldiers have no choice about coming here and all have a family and friends,' he added. His justification for the struggle was an inconsistent mix of political and economic grievances and wounded pride: 'We are under occupation. They bomb the mosques, they kill a huge number of people. There is no greater shame than to see your country being occupied.'
He dismissed the interim Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, as 'the Americans' Barbie doll' but then says that if everyone had 'full bellies' no one would fight.
'Iraqis' top priority is to provide a good living for their families. I take home less than 250,000 ID (£100) a month and I have four children. I have to pay the rent, doctor's bills, my wife needs something, my house needs something. And a kilo of chicken costs 2,500 ID.'
'The US or the UK are not my enemy. I know that any individual US or UK citizen is very good, but we will keep fighting the occupying forces. We have no choice.'
And with that he left. The Observer was told not to contact him again.

CWalker you know the only reason you posted this is because you're mad that the missions were aborted, you'd probably rather the Black soldiers get killed.

I am a Muslim. Submission to the will of God tears down all forms of nationalism based on color and race. Islam is the religion of the Caucus mountains (Chechnya) and the heart of Africa (Nigeria). Muslim's don't care about race and nationalism. Muslim's live and die to please Allah. I will speak the truth even if it condemns my own race.

What are you talking about man? Islam is the most intolerant, oppressive religion in the world. Minorities have absolutely no rights in Muslim controlled countries. Muslims could really learm a lot about tolerance from Christians....
Oh yeah, Nigeria is 40% Christian.....so you Muslims need to quit trying to impose your religion on us.

Let's not start about the oppression of women.

You are not living in a natural state. You have been brainwashed into loving what is not good for you and hating something that has a great deal of good in it............
Why are you not outraged when you see 12 year old girls walking down the street, with their cleavage showing, short skirts so you can see half of their ass, make up, lipstick, and all this too attract the attention of older guys. How come you are not outraged at that?
How come you are not outraged when a married women spends less time pleasing their husbands, and more time getting dressing up to look beautiful when they go out in public?
How come you only become outraged when a woman wants to wear more clothes? How come you are outraged by a woman dressing modestly to please God?
.... you are the one that is backwards.

I barely ever see that, but you know.. I don't think it's a good thing, but it's their own choise.
How come you are not outraged when a married women spends less time pleasing their husbands, and more time getting dressing up to look beautiful when they go out in public?
You should be happy for the couples that have a stable marriage. Why is a women not allowed to do what she wants? Should the man be superior to his wife?
How come you only become outraged when a woman wants to wear more clothes? How come you are outraged by a woman dressing modestly to please God?
Those towels symbolize the oppression of Muslim women. If they don't wear em they'll get punished. It also actually causes a lack of vitamin A.
.... your the one that is backwards.
lmao... Learn to spell.
-
infinite... women should have a choice.. if a 12 your old wants to look permisquious.. its HER PARENTS job to beat her ass.. not mine to be outraged.. women should have a choice how they want to dress.. if a muslim women feels that she needs to keep herself covered to please god.. then so be it.. cause muslim women do that in america.. and they have a choice not too.. but i think they are just used to their tradition... but women should NEVER be forced to wear that shit or cover themselves if they dont want to... Islam mistreats women... it puts them at a lower level, AND THEY ARE NOT LOWER THEN MEN.. why dont u get it.. why dont any muslims get it.. or is there something im not getting???

You have absolutely no knowledge of what you are talking about. The Saudi government is the only government that is forcing their women to wear the hijab. How do you explain 500 million Muslim women in other countries throughout the world who willing wear the hijab? How do you explain 4 million women the United States who wear the hijab? These women dress modestly to please God, not because they are forced to.
I have a first hand account of this. Nobody has ever once told my wife how she must dress. But everyday, when she goes out into public, she wears the hijab (traditional Muslim dress, gilbab). My mother in law was raised Christian, yet in the 70's she left Christianity for Islam and started wearing the hijab whenever she went out in public. They are proud of the way they dress, and they do it to please Allah. How can you argue that?

Please show me where I said that I wanted women to "Show their stuff"
I don't see how wearing a burka or hijab makes God smile on you more. Seems more like a way to control women to me.
There is no denying that Islam is back in the middle ages when it comes to womens rights among other things.

on the one hand (although I like fine women who show their stuff :D) I figure how the western world also fucked up when it comes to women. I mean, muslims may force their women to wear a hijab (which sucks, because it should be their choice) - but the western world kinda forces women to wear tight clothes, have big tits (if not natural, just get some silicon), dont weigh more than 125 pounds, etc. Seriously, this also sucks (although it looks great :D). Today's western women are not much more than sex objects. Noone asks what their interests are, and if one does, he thinks about sexual interests like if she likes sucking mad dick. What the fuck is this?
one thing I generally dont like about the muslim religion (and Im VERY glad that it's different with the christian religion, since Im an aheist) is that ppl dont really have a choice to believe in other religion or not to believe at all if they are born into a strong muslim family.
and fuck all of yall who talk smack to infinite. who the hell are you to call him a gay wifebeater, just because he's muslim and where the hell does it matter if his wife is black or not? not to talk about that BS ag said "kids burning in hell" <-- what a moron.
-
^
1) i agree with a lot of wat u said
2) i just wanted to know if his wife was black... i dont see the problem
3) key word Kinda.. i know wat u mean by the western world forces... but compared to how women are ACTUALLY forced... this shit is all mental.. and just cause women get brainwashed by media... they arent being forced.. plus.. theres lots of fat people, women who dont wear tight clothes, and women with real titties, and they are proud of themselves

Forces women to show their stuff???!!! Like forcing them to wear a burka?
You are talking apples and oranges. In the western world women have the CHOICE to wear what they want. Burka, or slut. There isn't that choice in the Islamic world and you show your ignorance by comparing the two.
-
^you show your ignorance, your hatred and your inability to comprehend texts by ignoring the fact that I mention the difference when if comes to choice, and also that I said "kinda forces" not just "forces".
why would you try to degrade such an awesome post in the first place..
