STILL Troops from the Third Battalion, Second US Marines secure a house during a search of the city STORYLINE US Marines clashed with insurgents, killing 10, as about 1,000 American troops swept through the Euphrates River city of Haditha on Wednesday on their second major anti-insurgent operation in less than a month in western Iraq. The military said six insurgents were killed in central Haditha - including one man identified as a cleric who was firing an automatic weapon. Another four were killed in separate incidents, officials said. About 1,000 US Marines, sailors and soldiers encircled Haditha in the troubled Anbar province before dawn. Helicopters swept down near palm tree groves to drop off Marines who blocked off one side of Haditha, while other troops on foot and in armoured vehicles established checkpoints and moved toward the city's centre. The offensives are aimed at uprooting insurgents who have killed more than 620 people since a new Iraqi government was announced April 28. Haditha lies along a major highway used by travellers moving from western Iraq to major cities such as Mosul and Baghdad in the central and northern parts of the country.

The US forces are even striking people going to the mosque to pray.'' 10. Various shots of city streets STORYLINE: More than 1,000 US troops continued a sweep through the Iraqi city of Haditha, in the troubled Anbar province on Thursday, for insurgents suspected of multiple attacks against coalition troops. Helicopters circled overhead as US snipers could be seen taking up positions on rooftops. The streets of the city, some 140 miles (225 kilometres) northwest of Baghdad, were deserted with only a few people venturing out of their homes. One local complained children were unable to go to school and that even people going to mosques had been targeted. US forces have killed at least 10 suspected militants while one Marine died from wounds sustained while entering the city during Operation New Market's first few hours on Wednesday, the military said. A child was killed when a mortar landed on his family home on Wednesday, the military added. The US military says insurgents have been using increasingly sophisticated tactics in Haditha, home to 90,000 people. Earlier this month insurgents launched a multi-stage attack from a Haditha hospital, killing four US troops in an ambush that included a suicide car bomber, a roadside bomb, and gunfire from fortified positions in the hospital, which was partially destroyed in the attack.

Various of graves and Rsayef reading the Quran STORYLINE A lawyer representing families of Iraqi civilians allegedly killed by U.S. Marines in Haditha claimed on Friday that three or four Marines carried out the shootings while 20 more waited outside the homes. The lawyer said victims' relatives had turned down a request by U.S. investigators to exhume the victims' bodies for forensic tests. New footage shot by AP Television News in Haditha on Friday showed scattered rocks at the site where a roadside bomb apparently exploded on November 19, killing one Marine, shortly before the shootings occurred. It also shows one of the houses where victims of the alleged shootings lived. On the exterior of the stone wall of the house, the names of the family members allegedly killed within are marked in Arabic: Noor, Safa, Zainab, Mohamed, Aisha, Saba. The house is now empty - inside its walls are pockmarked with bullet holes marked with numbers and arrows that appeared to have been written by US military investigators. A dusty TV with an apparent bullet hole in the corner and a sewing machine sit on the floor as furniture has been pushed to the side of the emptied house. Iman Walid Abdul-Hameed said she was in the house when the shootings occurred, and her brother and several other relatives had been killed. Lawyer Khaled Salem Rsayef is representing some of the families. Rsayef said that in the aftermath of the incident US forces sealed off the city and arrested anyone who spoke of the alleged shootings, to stop the news reaching the media. The US military said on Friday it will cooperate with the Iraqi government in its own investigation of Haditha and other incidents of alleged wrongdoing by US troops. The Marines enraged by the loss of a comrade, stand accused of storming into nearby homes in the area and allegedly shot occupants dead as well as several men in a taxi that arrived at the scene of the blast, according to US lawmakers briefed by military officials.

Men carrying victim out of a house 8. Various of aftermath of the attack at the house STORYLINE: US President George Bush promised on Wednesday that any U.S. Marines involved in the alleged murders of Iraqi civilians will be punished. The Pentagon is currently investigating claims that a group of marines went on the rampage last November after a colleague was killed in a roadside bomb, killing 24 Iraqi civilians in cold blood in Haditha, in Anbar province. The military is also investigating if some officers tried to cover up the slaughter. The Hammurabi Human Rights Group in Iraq interviewed what they say was a 12-year-old survivor of the Haditha slaughter, Safa Younis. The group says they interviewed her about one week after the incident took place in November 2005 . Safa described hearing what she called "the Americans" go through the house, shooting and setting off a grenade before getting to the bedroom where she was hiding with her mother and siblings. The shootings came after a bomb rocked a military convoy on November 19 2005, killing a Marine. Residents of Haditha said Marines then went into nearby houses and shot members of two families, including a 3-year-old girl. At first, the American military described what happened as an ambush on a joint U.S.-Iraqi patrol, with a roadside bombing and subsequent firefight killing 15 civilians, eight insurgents and a Marine. The statement said the 15 civilians were killed by the blast, a claim the residents strongly denied. With some in Congress alleging a cover-up, the Bush administration offered assurances on Wednesday that the facts will be made public.
