Assault on the Baghdad insurgents
Sunni insurgents have taken up residence in the areas south of Baghdad, and from there have been launching attacks on the city. Today a combined force of 5,000 U.S. military, British troops, and Iraqi security forces launched a massive assault on the area, in an attempt to rout out the attackers there. While the Fallujah campaign has mostly wrapped up, violence has been non-stop in other areas of Iraq.
