Future news, Fallujah update 3

Posted by: Hammer / 10:08 AM

AP reports (Dec. 12):

"U.S. planes pounded the western Iraqi city Fallujah with missiles Sunday as insurgents fought running battles with coalition forces in the volatile city.

The U.S. military announced two soldiers died in separate incidents."

Of course, the AP also reported (Dec. 9):

"U.S. Marines have almost completely cleared this former insurgent stronghold of insurgents and weapons, setting the stage for the return of the civilian population ahead of next month's elections, a senior commander said Thursday.

Lt. Gen. John F. Sattler, who commands the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, said that 97 percent of Fallujah's more than 20,000 buildings 'have been swept for the third and hopefully, final time.'

'We've removed all the ordnance, it's free of any insurgents and any improvised explosive devices or booby traps that might have been left behind,' Sattler said."
