FALLUJAH, Iraq, Nov. 8 (Xinhuanet)

Mosques in Iraq's restive city of Fallujah announced on Monday that the fighters inside the city have captured 35 US soldiers.

Loud speakers of the mosques blared out the news as US forces were trying to penetrate the rebel-held city, but the news could not be independently confirmed.

US troops and Iraqi special forces stormed into the western districts of Fallujah early Monday and seized the main city hospital and two key bridges over the Euphrates River.

US officials said there may be more fierce fighting to come if US forces try to enter downtown Fallujah on the east bank of the river.

What's that expression from WW II, "And you can tell that to the Marines!"

This is only place I have seen this report of 38 U.S.captured by the enemy.I read a report where we captured 38 Iraqi's.
If 38 of our guys were captured I'd expect it to be on FOX or CNN.
