U.S. forces have started an all-out offensive to regain control of Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad, using overwhelming force.
About 80 percent of Fallujah's estimated 250,000 residents already have already fled. U.S. jet bombers and helicopters are launching nightly air raids on alleged militant positions, while insurgents attack American positions on the edge of the city.

"If a ground offensive on Fallujah takes place, then thousands of people will be killed," Brig. Gen. Sabbar al-Janabi, Fallujah's chief of police, told an Iraqi journalist. "If the U.S. keeps insisting on the principle of the stick, there will be an inevitable war in Fallujah, with regrettable consequences."

Fighting in the city in April left hundreds of residents dead and Fallujah in ruins before U.S. forces pulled back and allowed an Iraqi military unit staffed by city residents to take over.

Iyad Allawi has imposed a curfew on the town which will take effect from 1500 GMT on Monday 8th November.
