BAGHDAD, Iraq — Mortar and tank
fire lit up the night sky over Saddam
Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit Monday in
a show of force to intimidate the resist
ance, while troops angered residents by
mounting their biggest-ever hunt for
weapons and explosives in a middle class
Baghdad area.
Meanwhile, in the town of Ramadi west
of Baghdad, troops announced they had
arrested an organizer a leader of the
Fedayeen guerrillas responsible for bomb
attacks and ambushes on U.S. forces. The
suspect, Kazim Mohammed Paris, who
was a “high value target,” a military state
ment said.
U.S. forces have reacted to the increasing
attacks in which dozens of Americans and
their allies have died by mounting a massive
show of force in central and northern Iraq.
Buildings factories and other facilities
believed used as staging areas for guerrilla
attacks have been bombed from the air and
blasted by artillery barrages. Troops have
carried out dozens of raids aimed at appre
hending suspects and seizing weapons and
bomb-making materials.
One such “cordon-and-search” raid early
Tuesday in Baghdad’s middle-class
a
Azamiyah district netted 21 suspects along
with 30 Kalashnikov AK-47 automatic
rifles, about a dozen shotguns and 10 hand
guns. Most suspects had violated a one
weapon per house rule.
Some 2,000 troops of the 1st Armored
Division — backed by tanks, armored vehi
cles and low-flying helicopters took part in
the nighttime raid, sealing
off a 20 block area and
searching every single
building inside it.
Col. Charles Sexton,
commander of one of
three participating battal
ions expressed satisfac
tion that the massive
searches had gone off
without incident.
But many citizens of the
neighborhood next to the
Tigris River said they were
puzzled by the choice of
target, because the area — which is home to
