Report: Insurgents eye return to Fallujah

FALLUJAH, Iraq (UPI) -- Nine months after being rousted from the Iraqi city of Fallujah, U.S. intelligence indicates insurgents are planning to return for revenge.

U.S. commanders acknowledge the city remains a powerful icon to an insurgency that is keen to stop Sunni Muslim Arabs in western Al Anbar province from participating in an October referendum on Iraq`s proposed constitution.

"This was a resounding defeat for them," said Brig. Gen. Peter Vangjel, who oversees analysis of operations, "and they want it back."

U.S. and Iraqi troops killed an estimated 1,000 insurgents in a battle that also cost more than 70 U.S. lives, the Los Angeles Times said.
