Fallujah in insurgent stronghold half under siege after swift push
U S forces held about 70 percent of Fallujah as guerrillas were bottled up in a narrow strip after a rapid advance. In Baghdad, two members of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's family were abducted amid a spate of hostage threats by Ansar al Jihad. The group claimed three relatives were seized and vowed beheadings within 48 hours if Fallujah siege ended. Police reported three relatives kidnapped, while authorities verified Ghazi Allawi, 75, is not politically connected.
