"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.
