Reply #18: IRR-puppet official-12 tonMercedes stolen several days ago [View All]

The puppet official disclosed that the truck used in
the Resistance bombing of the US base on Tuesday had
been stolen from a government bureau in Mosul several
days before the attack.

The statements by the puppet governor and by the Jaysh
Ansar as-Sunnah Resistance organization confirmed
what Mafkarat al-Islam had reported about the blast on
21 December (See the Iraqi Resistance Report for 21
December 2004.) They also contradicted claims made by
US sources and published on various internet news sites
that attributed the attack to rockets or to a martyrdom bomber
on foot. Neither such attacks would have produced the type
of destruction wrought to the solid concrete building that
was totally razed on Tuesday when a martyrdom fighter drove
a 12-ton Mercedes truck loaded with explosives into the
building and blew it up.
