US launches mass slaughter in Fallujah
On November 8, the US military launched its long-anticipated second attempt to recapture the rebel Iraqi city of Fallujah, located 55 kilometres west of Baghdad. The assault — conducted by some 10,000 US troops and 500 Iraqi troops under their command, using tanks, artillery and attack helicopters — was preceded by weeks of nightly air strikes on residential buildings, restaurants and mosques.
