incapable of handling operation followed a weeklong
campaign in November and
early December to root out
insurgents in the area.
U.S. commanders had hailed
the November offensive to
retake Fallujah as a major tacti-
cal victory, but violence else-
where in Iraq has only escalated
since the fall of the main insur-
gent bastion 40 miles west of
Baghdad. The vast majority of
the estimated 6,000 guerrillas
based there apparently slipped
out to northern Iraq and the area
south of Baghdad, which
includes Mahmoudiya.
“We believe that many insur-
gents that left Fallujah settled
throughout areas in Baghdad
and specifically in southern sec-
tor of Baghdad and north of
Babylon,” Hammond said.
Top U.S. commanders have
acknowledged that insurgent
offensive is expected to contin-
ue at least until the elections.
In the northern city of Mosul,
two car bombs exploded as a
U.S. patrol was passing
Wednesday, wounding two sol-
diers and damaging a vehicle.
U.S. military spokesman Lt.
Col. Paul Hastings said.

Between 1,700 to 1,800
pounds of explosives were used
