Fallujah pamphlets and new Iraq transfer cautions
U S aircraft dropped pamphlets urging residents to identify al Zarqawi and officials say his death would hurt the insurgency but not end it. Near Baquba fighting for a fourth day has killed at least six Iraqis and one American. A roadside bomb in the south killed two, including a Portuguese guard. Sovereignty transfers on June 30 will be discreet with no major pageantry. Fallujah residents search through rubble after heavy damage.
