Even that may be further than Russia and China are prepared to go. Indeed, U.S. officials...
...fighters confirmed these suspicions in a clandestine interview with TIME. Abu Marwan, an insurgent footsoldier from the Ansar al-Sunnah network, said that once the fighting broke out, his cell, along with those from other guerrilla groups, was brought in from surrounding quarters as reinforcements. Adhamiya is a safe haven for any number of anti-American organizations, which share intelligence and weapons and coordinate their activities. According to insurgent sources, the groups agreed that only sparing attacks would be launched locally so as not to attract U.S. attention. American brigade commander Col. Thomas Vail says the district's concentration...
