A Bloody Wednesday in Iraq
Six U.S. soldiers were killed today in Iraq. It will probably get worse now that an ultimatum has been given in Fallujah to turn over al Zarqawi or face new attacks.
In Baghdad, Iraq’s interim prime minister also warned that US. and Iraqi forces will launch military operations in the main insurgent stronghold Fallujah if residents do not hand over Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, whose group has kidnapped and beheaded numerous foreigners, including Briton Ken Bigley.
Fat chance, especially now.
Last year, insurgents sharply increased their attacks against coalition forces during Ramadan, expected to start at the end of this week. Extremists believe they win a special place in paradise if they die in a jihad, or holy war, during Ramadan.
