Well, that's what THEY say, anyway. It took hours of scouring the web to find an image of their stockpile of new locally-made surface to surface rockets. But I managed, somehow.
Looking around at some of the insurgent terrorist media links I have been posting, I haven't had as much fun reading since I read Archie and Veronica in the 5th Grade. Now, where did I put that human shield??
Fallujah Mujahideen Unveil New Rocket, US Forced To Abandon Ramadi Barracks
Mar 29, 2005
By Muhammad Abu Nasr, Free Arab Voice; Edited For Publication By JUSFallujah Mujahideen Announce New Locally Rocket: The As-Sijjil
The Consultative Council of the Mujahideen of Fallujah issued a communiqué on Monday in which the military command of the Council announced that the Mujahideen had succeeded in producing their first locally-made rocket since the battle of Fallujah. The statement reported that the new surface-to-surface rocket has been dubbed “as-Sijjil”, and said that, God willing, it would soon be used to “take the wind out of the sails” of the occupation.
The statement said that the development also serves as a refutation of claims recently made by the US invaders and their puppet regime that the Mujahideen was “breathing its last” as they claimed. The statement noted that the Mujahideen will continue so long as the occupation remains.

US Abandons Barracks Near Ramadi; Throw Families Out Of Houses
US forces abandoned one of their barracks in Ramadi at dawn on Monday after intensive rocket bombardments blasted the facility throughout last week.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam quoted US Marine Sergeant who gave his name as Dudin as saying that the US forces were leaving their position in the glass and ceramic factory behind the al-Warrar Bridge west of ar-Ramadi after it came under numerous attacks by the Iraqi Resistance. The American sergeant said that the Marines would “continue to exert control over the area with the help of Iraqi [puppet] forces from another barracks that we will work to make available at a later time.”
Witnesses said that at 10am Monday morning, the US forces threw out families from three houses near the factory and then settled into them, setting up observation posts on their roofs to watch and prevent local residents from leaving the street on which they have now settled in. The Americans thus are using the civilians living in the neighborhood as human shields hoping that the Mujahideen will not want to risk harming the families to attack the Americans settled in among them.
After throwing the three families out of their homes, the Americans told them that they would receive compensation for their houses, in an amount sufficient to allow them to rent housing in other parts of the city.
