Iraqi attacks blamed on ex-regime loyalists not foreign fighters
In Anbar Province and around Ramadi U S officers say attacks on Americans are carried out by ex Baath loyalists and local resisters rather than foreigners. Capt Calver and Lt Col Kievernaar describe disparate, non unified opposition with many Iraqis denying foreign militant involvement. Estimates say most of the 4000 to 6000 Arab fighters who entered before the war are dead or gone.
