The interim Iraqi Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, vowed to crush insurgents after one of the most violent days for months. US forces have bomb a suspected militant hideout today in the Iraqi city of Falluja, one day after rebels kill scores in attacks in Iraq. It is the third such raid on Falluja, where the US believes a key al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is belived to be hiding

A US military statement said the latest air raid targeted "a known Zarqawi network safe house" in south-eastern Falluja. Two US air strikes this week on suspected militant hideouts linked to Zarqawi in Falluja killed at least 40 people; residents and Iraqi security sources said civilians were among the dead.

It seems the US/uk troops are face ever increaseing insurgency More than a year later, organised groups of insurgents, militias and criminal gangs have established themselves and has become a serious problem as Iraq is supposed to be moving towards a new era. The situation in Iraq will need more troops, more money and more international commitment than have been evident so far, and things could get much worse before they improve.
