Baghdad 40 Percent Under Iraqi Control Five Months In
In Baghdad only 40 percent of the city is under security forces control five months into the pacification campaign. U S troops began an offensive against al Qaida strongholds on the capital’s southern outskirts. Paratroopers found ID cards of two missing U S soldiers at an al Qaida safe house 75 miles north of where they were captured. The house held computers, video gear and weapons. Lt Gen Raymond Odierno said the offensive hit Arab labor and Salman Pac neighborhoods Friday night. This marked the first time in three years U S soldiers entered those areas. Al Qaida militants have used car bombs and Katyusha rockets against bases and Shiite neighborhoods.
