US forces have begun accusing Iraqi translators working for the American occupation of leaking information to the Iraqi Mujahideen that facilitated the devastating Resistance attack on the Falcon Forward Base arsenal late on Tuesday night, 10 October, the Al Basrah reported.
A source in the Iraqi puppet army told Quds Press that US authorities have opened an investigation into the attack to try to determine how the Mujahideen obtained detailed information on the location of the arms and ammunition in the arsenal, which allowed them to carry out a strike with such precision.
The source told Quds Press: "the [American] forces are sure that two of the Iraqi translators who were working for them leaked information and gave particulars to the insurgents [meaning, to the Iraqi Mujahideen]. They [the Americans] have suspicions regarding a third translator who left the base one day before the attack and never joined up again."
Quds Press noted that although the American authorities reported no casualties in the attack, the Iraqi source, who asked not to be identified, said that "dozens" of American soldiers were killed in the explosions that rocked the arsenal for hours Tuesday-Wednesday night. The source said that the US military have in their custody the bodies of six Iraqi translators who were killed in the blasts, and the Americans were refusing to release those remains to their families for reasons that remain unknown.
