Martyrs' Cemetery


The Martyrs' Cemetery of Fallujah is the chief burial site of Iraqis killed during the First Battle of Fallujah, both insurgents and civilians.〔(Siege Defined On Stones Set in Haste In the Dirt - by Christine Hauser, New York Times, April 28, 2004 )〕 It was formerly the football field of the Falluja Sports Club,〔(IBC Falluja April 2004 News Digest :: Iraq Body Count )〕 and was converted into a cemetery after US troops blockaded attempts to reach the city's main cemetery.〔(Democracy Now! | Stadium of Death: Fallujah Residents Bury Their Dead In Aftermath of Bloody U.S. Siege )〕
A sign outside the cemetery reads "''This cemetery is given by the people of Fallujah to the heroic martyrs of the battle against the Americans, and to the martyrs of the Jihadi operations against the Americans, assigned and approved by the Mujahideen Shura council in Fallujah.''"
The cemetery holds between 250 〔 and 500〔('We Will Fight Them Again!' - by Dahr Jamail, May 9, 2004 )〕 bodies, only one of which is identified as a foreign fighter, a Tunisian.〔(City of ghosts - by Ali Fadhil, The Guardian, Jan 11, 2005 )〕 At least 22 of the dead were from a single US mortar-attack in June 2004.〔(U.S. Strike In Fallujah Kills 20 (washingtonpost.com) )〕
The road leading to the cemetery has been named Martyrs' Cemetery Road, and according to the ''Mafkarat al-Islam'' was the site of an August 26 2006 attack against a US convoy on the road headed to the cemetery, which destroyed a Humvee and killed three American troops, wounding two others, and a similar attack nine days later.〔(Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 26 August 2006 )〕〔(Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Monday, 4 September 2006 )〕
Another football field in the city was used for similar purposes.〔 (Fragile cease-fire holds in Fallujah )〕
