Offensive in Fallujah strains Sunni clerics amid heavy fighting
The Fallujah offensive intensified as U S and Iraqi forces battled guerrillas for a second day. Officials reported up to 90 insurgents killed or wounded by a battalion while jets, helicopters, and artillery pounded the city ahead of advancing troops. Sunni clerics urged a boycott of January elections, raising legitimacy concerns for Iraq’s democracy move. A curfew was imposed in Baghdad and surroundings to prevent insurgents from shifting battle lines.
