barely controlled chaos -Mosul

http://slate.msn.com/id/2109964/

Nobody fronts Iraq, where the NYT says a "wave of assaults continued" in the center and north of the country. Insurgents mortared the governor's compound in Mosul, killing one of his bodyguards and wounding four. A GI was also killed in town. The Boston Globe's Thanassis Cambanis seems to be the only Western reporter filing from Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city, and has been giving a strong sense of the barely controlled chaos there.

Elsewhere, six Iraqis were killed by bombings in the north; a bomb in Baghdad killed two civilians; there was heavy fighting Ramadi; and another GI was killed in Fallujah, where there are still some holdouts. The Post details one family's escape from town and stay at an ill-equipped refugee camp.

1. Your link is not to an article

with this headline but a compilation of news stories. If you want to find the original story you can post that.
