Chaos in Baghdad
It's not just Fallujah. The early Saturday AP headline is Baghdad Turns to Chaos:
Gunmen running rampant on Baghdad's western edge attacked a fuel convoy, killing a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi driver and causing a fiery explosion that sent up a pall of black smoke. A Baghdad correspondent for Al-Jazeera Arab television said that at least nine people had been killed. Another U.S. soldier was killed in an attack on a base elsewhere in the capital, and large groups of insurgents fought U.S. soldiers in two cities to the north, Baqouba and Muqdadiyah.
This week's toll so far: 46 U.S. soldiers killed. 460 Iraqis killed, 280 in Fallujah.
