U.S. troops pounded Fallujah with airstrikes and artillery fire, softening up militants ahead of the expected assault. Loudspeakers at Fallujah mosques blared out Koranic verses and shouts of "Allahu Akbar," or "God is great," during the assault, residents said. The three British soldiers killed were from the Black Watch Regiment, which was moved last month from southern Iraq to the dangerous area just south of Baghdad. An Iraqi interpreter also was killed in the attack, British officials said. Britain's armed forces minister, Adam Ingram, said in London that the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber in a vehicle and that the British checkpoint also came under mortar fire. A suicide car bomber targeted a U.S. Marine convoy near Ramadi, 60 miles west of Baghdad, but only the attacker died in the explosion, U.S. officials said. © 2004 The Washington Post Company
