U.S., Iraqi forces launch new raids

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8512374/

BAQOUBA, Iraq - Hundreds of U.S. Marines and Iraqi soldiers have launched new raids against insurgent strongholds in a volatile Sunni province, officials said Saturday.

Iraqi soldiers and Marines began the operation on Thursday with raids in the village of Zaidan, 20 miles southeast of Fallujah, the military said. So far, 22 suspected insurgents had been detained.

Fallujah, a western Anbar province city 40 miles west of Baghdad, was a major insurgent bastion until U.S. forces overran the city in November.
