In Iraq, the US military is claiming it has secured Fallujah but resistance continues to spread to other parts of the country. The Iraqi resistance launched attacks yesterday in Baquba, Mosul, Kirkuk and Suwaira. Police stations were stormed. Oil wells were set ablaze. And several suicide car bombings targeted U.S. troops. At least 50 Iraqis died in fighting across the country. In Baquba, the fighting was so intense, the US dropped a pair of 500 pound bombs on the city killing 20. In Mosul, the US has diverted some 1,000 troops from the attack on Fallujah to fight the Iraqi resistance in this northern city.
