Doctor reveals Falluja's horror toll

At least 450 Iraqis have been killed and more than 1000 others wounded in fighting in the city of Falluja this week, says a doctor who runs the city's main hospital.

-snip-

US occupation forces have bombed the Iraqi town of Falluja, belying administrator Paul Bremer's announcement that his forces were suspending military operations there.

-snip-

But, the US-led occupation's deputy director of operations, Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, denied the reports of a ceasefire.
-snip-
"There is no brokered agreement for a ceasefire in Falluja," Kimmitt told AFP. "There is no agreement between the rebels and the coalition forces."

-snip-

Aljazeera, meanwhile, has learnt that during negotiations to end the military offensive, US forces imposed many conditions including getting the Aljazeera crew out of the town.

will Falluja become a kind of Guernica ?

1. I'm sure we taught those Fallujan's a lesson.
Desecrate 4 mercenary's bodies and we will kill 450 of you. I'm sure that will make them see the light of their evil ways. When the last Iraqi is killed, does that mean we've won?
