On Tuesday, they conducted house to house searches in Berwana, two kilometres from Haditha, west of Baghdad. US helicopters could be seen flying overhead. Damaged buildings showed the intensity of fighting between US forces and militants over the past weeks. On the outskirts of the town, children and young men clambered over the wreckage of several US fighting vehicles. About 1,000 U.S. Marines and Iraqi soldiers are involved in this latest operation to disrupt insurgents and foreign fighters in the Euphrates River valley, in western Iraq, according to military officials. The operation, named Quick Strike, began last Wednesday (August 3) with Iraqi soldiers and U.S. marines positioning their units. The units were focused on an area centered around the cities of Haditha, Haqlaniyah and Parwana, about 220 kilometers (140 miles) northwest of Baghdad. Operation Quick Strike is the third major campaign since May aimed at rooting out insurgents and foreign fighters in the Euphrates valley, which is believed to be a major infiltration route for extremists entering Iraq from Syria.

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.

NAME: IRQ HADITHA 20060601I TAPE: EF06/0476 IN_TIME: 10:48:37:18 DURATION: 00:01:03:00 SOURCES: POOL DATELINE: Baghdad - 1 June 2006 RESTRICTIONS: SHOTLIST: 1. Wide shot journalists assembled for news conference, US Major General William Caldwell, spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, walks in, and starts speaking 2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Major General William Caldwell, spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I want to open up today's press conference with a few comments about reported events in Haditha on November 19th of last year. First, I'd like to express our heartfelt condolences to the families that lost a loved one in that accident. We mourn the loss of all innocent life, and the loss of any life is always very tragic and very unfortunate. But let me be very clear about one point: the coalition does not and it will not tolerate any unethical or criminal behaviour. Any allegations of such activities will be fully investigated and any members found to have committed these violations will be held accountable." 3. Wide shot Caldwell speaking at news conference STORYLINE: A military spokesman expressed condolences on Thursday for Iraqi deaths in Haditha last November, and a top general ordered American military commanders to conduct core-values training on moral and ethical standards on the battlefield. "I'd like to express our heartfelt condolences to the families that lost a loved one in that accident," said US Major General William Caldwell, spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. Addressing a news conference in Baghdad, Caldwell added that "the coalition does not and it will not tolerate any unethical or criminal behaviour." Later, Caldwell said other investigations into similar allegations were being held but gave no further details. Also on Thursday, Iraq's prime minister said his government would conduct its own investigation into the allegations that U.S. Marines killed unarmed civilians in Haditha in November last year. The announcement by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki came amid mounting anger over reports of the killings of 24 Iraqis, including women and children, in the western city of Haditha, at the hands of US Marines. The killings at Haditha, a city plagued by insurgents, came after a bomb rocked a military convoy on November 19, killing a Marine. US Representative John Murtha, a decorated war veteran who has been briefed by military officials, said Marines then shot and killed civilians in a taxi and went into two homes and shot others. More than 4,000 Iraqis - many of them civilians - have been killed in war-related violence this year, including at least 936 in May, according to an AP count. That makes May the second deadliest month for Iraqis in the past year, after March. The figures show that civilians, not security forces, are increasingly the casualties of violence. Eighty-two percent of war-related deaths recorded in May were civilians, compared with 61 percent in May 2005, when 746 were killed.
