"FALLUJAH: U.S. military officials said that American troops had now occupied the entire city of Fallujah and there were no more major concentrations of insurgents still fighting after nearly a week of intense urban combat.
Maj. Gen. Richard Natonski, commander of the 1st Marine Division,said Sunday as many as 1,600 insurgents have been killed since the operation began.
Iraqi officials declared the operation to free Fallujah of militants was accomplished but acknowledged the two most wanted figures in the city Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Sheik Abdullah al-Janabi had escaped.
U.S. officers said, however, that resistance had not been entirely subdued and that it still could take several days of fighting to clear the final pockets."
"..A senior military officer here estimated that as many as 1,600 insurgents have been killed and more than 1,000 have been captured in recent fighting in Fallujah. If accurate, the number reflects more insurgents killed in one city in a week than U.S. forces have lost since Operation Iraqi Freedom began. "We've really knocked them for a loop," the senior officer said. "Now, the question is do we knock their leadership for a loop?".."
damn it, I want to see al-Zarqawi's ass dead.
