Heavy gunfire pierced the night as insurgents fired randomly at US forces using light artillery and small arms. The fighting began Thursday night when American troops sealed off the town in search of several wanted men. By Friday morning, the insurgents had mobilised a counterstrike and a battle raged between the two sides. Numerous civilians were caught in the crossfire, forcing may to flee the town. Several of those who remained were wounded in the battle. The local hospital in the neighbouring town of Baqouba was crowded with injured civilians, including women and children. Military officials said seven insurgents had been killed in the two days of skirmishes. But officials at Baqouba General Hospital said five people had died and 15 were injured. Insurgents often don't bring wounded fighters to the hospital out of fear of arrest.
