Nov. 13 - Army tanks and fighting vehicles began blasting their way into the last major rebel stronghold in Falluja at sundown on Saturday after American warplanes and artillery had prepared the way with a savage barrage on the district.
The offensive against Fallujah killed at least 24 American troops and an estimated 1,000 insurgents, and rebel attacks elsewhere � especially in the northern city of Mosul � have forced the Americans to shift troops away from Fallujah.
