35 US soldiers captured in Fallujah: mosques
Xinhuanet | November 9 2004
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.
