Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesMiddle-East-Online Report:
Violence flares in Mosul, oil wells bombed in Kirkuk as 38 US soldiers, more than 1,200 insurgents killed in Fallujah.
"Warplanes struck Fallujah on Monday as US-led forces hunted for diehard insurgents after taking almost total control of the city in a week-long battle that killed 38 US soldiers and more than 1,200 insurgents.
But victory in the flashpoint Iraqi enclave will not spell the end to a vicious insurgency against Iraq's US-backed government as violence flared in the northern capital of Mosul and saboteurs bombed oil wells in Kirkuk.
"Iraqi forces and Multi-National Force-Iraq have wrested most of Fallujah from insurgent control, but operations are not over," the military said in a statement, noting that US troops backed by Iraqi soldiers were combing mosques and other buildings for weapons as they secured the Sunni Muslim stronghold.
"In
the last 24 hours, multinational force aircraft flew several close air
support missions, attacking anti-Iraqi forces in numerous buildings
throughout the city," a statement said, using military terminology to
describe militants."
