All Hell Breaks Loose in Iraq (Caution. Grisly photo at link)

BAGHDAD, 10 April 2004 — On the first anniversary of Saddam Hussein’s fall, all hell broke loose in Iraq, with Sunni and Shiite resistance fighters battling US-led forces while continuing to hold three Japanese and several other foreign hostages.

Fierce fighting that has convulsed the Sunni cities of Fallujah and Ramadi reached the western fringe of Baghdad, where Iraqis killed nine in an attack on a US fuel convoy, and said they had seized four Italians and two Americans. A Reuters journalist saw two captive foreigners in a mosque in a village in the Abu Gharib district.

At the scene of the convoy attack, a dead foreigner lay on the road bleeding from the head as an Iraqi beat him.

Teenage fighters with rocket-propelled grenades and rifles lurked on bridges or in derelict lots near the main highway leading west toward the embattled town of Fallujah.
