Americans will be fighting ghosts, say Iraqi exiles February 5 2003 London: President Saddam Hussein has decentralised the Iraqi army in preparation for urban combat and will rely on his son Qusay to co-ordinate a defensive war in the cities, say exiled generals monitoring Iraq. "The Americans will be fighting ghosts. They will find it very hard to know where the enemy is. Those who are betting that Saddam will be defeated quickly are mistaken," Lieutenant-General Tawfik al-Yassiri said. "Tens of thousands of elite Iraqi forces have spread underground, above ground, in farms, schools, mosques, churches ... everywhere. They are not in camps or major installations. These units are prepared for city warfare and have the experience for it." General al-Yassiri took part in a 1991 uprising against Saddam and now heads a council of exiled officers, who maintain contact with their former comrades inside Iraq. Another exiled officer said some of the best trained units in house-to-house fighting are not part of the regular Iraqi army. "They are vicious," he said. "They were trained in Europe and do not wear uniforms." More: smh.com.au
