A flier being distributed in the Iraqi city of Fallujah puts a hefty price on the heads of top U.S military officials, according to a Local 6 News report.

	Flyer Puts Price On U.S. Military Officials

The flier (pictured, right) offers $15 million for the death of each American pictured, Local 6 News reported.

Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld are pictured on the paper.

Meanwhile, gunfire and mortar blasts were heard for more than an hour Wednesday in Fallujah before three large explosions shook the area as U.S. aircraft circled overhead. A black plume of smoke rose over the area.

The new fighting came a day after a heavy battle in which U.S. warplanes -- including an AC-130 gunship -- and artillery pounded the city in a show of force against Sunni insurgents holed up in a slum. Fallujah has been the focal point of anti-coalition insurgents, and the scene of the largest number of American casualties.

Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmit said Wednesday the cease-fire -- believed to have expired as heavy shelling began Tuesday night -- remains in effect. He said there have been 11 cease-fire violations by the insurgents over the past 24 hours.

But, Kimmitt said, Marines are ready to take the city by force if need be. He also warned that insurgents are making "a deadly mistake" if they try to strengthen their positions.

Despite three straight days of battles, U.S. officials say they are pushing ahead with negotiations to resolve the Fallujah standoff rather than launch an all-out offensive. Iraqi police took up posts in parts of the city, laying the groundwork for Marine patrols to begin circulating to establish control.

The cease-fire was announced -- and extended twice -- to give insurgents time to heed a request by Fallujah's civic leaders to turn in heavy weapons.

Kimmitt said that during the past 24 hours -- and constant cease-fire violations by insurgents -- no additional weapons have been turned in. Officials have said the only weapons turned in are small arms and old, rusted weapons.

On Thursday, joint U.S.-Iraqi patrols are scheduled to begin in the besieged city. Kimmitt told NBC's "Today" show that Tuesday night's explosions were "a sound and light show." Kimmitt said there were many "secondary" blasts of weapons and ammunition in two trucks targeted by a U.S. warplane.

Something tells me Rumsfeld needn't worry . .

[b4its2late]

There won't be any of them left to pay it nor collect it....

[narby]

Printing a poster like this is equivalent to a high school prank. For the media to give it wide distribution like this is irresponsible at best. Treasonous at worst.

"The flier (pictured, right) offers $15 million for the death of each American pictured, Local 6 News reported."

Plenty of "Food for Oil" money still floating in Iraq - ping.

[JennysCool]

Just like 'em to bring a flyer to a gunfight.

[swarthyguy]

Not to mention those paupers, the Saudis. Would be pocket change to some of those claiming to be "friends".

[ambrose]

Does anyone know if Kerry will be contributing to this reward fund?

[JeeperFreeper]

Isn't this the same idea that the Democratic Party of St. Petersbrg Florida (or some such place) had for Rumsfeld? Someone should juxtapose the Dems' ad with this flier and let people draw their own conclusions. The libs will howl, but then they always howl 'cuz' its all about emoting, not thinking.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Pulverize the city.

[joesnuffy]

How many of those 'innocent' civilans are giving our guys ...positive productive intel on their
muslim brothers...?
If our guys arent turning up the bad guys...its because the bad guys are everybody.....
if this is the case...
Then Fallujah needs to dissappear....a few MOABs...Fuel Air bombs...should clean out all the rats
and some D-9 cats should fix the place up nicely....bury the trash in a big hole in the desert

[McGavin999]

Sheesh, what are they, 12 year olds?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Now they follow the money. 15 mil is a nice tidey sum to transfer to an account somewhere.

Find the money, find Bin laden.

[randog]

Now they follow the money. 15 mil is a nice tidey sum to transfer to an account somewhere.

The jihadists and terrorists have come out with their own Deck Of Cards.

    What an honor - to be featured on the evildoers' most wanted list, whoo hoo!

Someone tell Shep Smith to stop insulting our Marines, by repeatedly implying that our guys are sitting still while enemies fire at their pals.

These Fallujah sorelosers never have been - and never will be - a match for our mighty - GOOD - military!

Pulverize the city.

Next on the agenda:

Operation Cinder & Ashes

A Col on CNN said go in and take Fallujah ,maximum military attack as this is just prolonging the propaganda war.Another military anylyst on CNN...Urban combat even in best of circumstances would be costly nor does our military want Fallujah to be the Iraqi Alamo.(Remember Fallujah!)

I see secondary explosions again.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I thing that Col said we should have a lot more troops also. Someone said that Falljah is the Battle of Baghdad that wasn't.

[MEG33]

Yes.I heard that.I will defer to the men in charge.There's a big picture politically and a another picture militarily.Fallujah could be defeated with overwhelming force.Would it inspire other Fallujahs?I don't know.

I have heard it is more difficult to invade and control a town in ruins than one intact.
