Previous Falluja postsAmericans begin new offensive in FallujahThe US military has launched an operation against insurgents around Fallujah only six months after its officials proclaimed the city "the safest place in Iraq".

Two weeks ago four female marines were among six American personnel who died when their convoy was struck by a suicide car bomb just outside the city.
