More Americans died in Anbar than any other province. Fallujah became a symbol of al-Qaeda resistance in 2004, leading to a bloody U.S. Marine-led offensive that drove militants out of the city after intense street fighting. More than 80 Americans were killed in combat during the second battle of Fallujah in November and December, 2004.

Speaking of Fallujah, Numerous Twitter reports from this morning saying that the “1st Brigade” barracks southeast of Fallujah are being attacked.

Suicide bombing started the day. There is a video making the rounds today that is supposedly of the fighting there. I wonder if anyone on FR can identify the area shown in this vid?
