Were are not getting much Iraqi news on the media lately, yet several successful operations have recently been carried out mainly with Iraqi security forces buttressed with American forces. Here is one example jdn Bounty Placed on Heads of Iraqi Leaders Tuesday, September 13, 2005 5:08 AM EDT The Associated Press By STEVEN R. HURST Listen to Audio BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Iraqi insurgents, run out of their northern stronghold in Tal Afar for the second time in a year, counterattacked with an Internet propaganda offensive Monday that put a bounty of about $200,000 on the heads of top Iraqi leaders. Violence flared again in the ancient city late Monday when Iraqi soldiers trapped insurgents in basement hideouts, killing 40 militants in fierce combat, the military said. Most insurgents had fled Tal Afar as the U.S.-backed offensive began Saturday, many escaping through tunnels. The new fighting raised the insurgent death toll in Tal Afar to near 200, the government said. Officials said seven Iraqi soldiers and six civilians died in the three-day offensive, while the U.S. military said no American soldiers were hurt.
