Violence persists throughout Iraq
By Tom Lasseter

BAGHDAD, Iraq -
While American officials and the U.S.-backed Iraqi government are
touting the retaking of Fallujah and upcoming national elections as
blows to Iraq's insurgents, the guerrilla fighters look as deadly as
ever, carrying out ambushes and bombings seemingly at will.
Since last Friday, dozens of Iraqis, many of them police and national
guardsmen, and 13 Americans have been killed in attacks throughout the
country.
Another 70 Iraqis have died in Mosul during the past two weeks in what
appears to be a campaign to intimidate Iraqi security forces.
There is no comprehensive way to quantify how rebel activity has been
affected nationwide by the Fallujah assault.
American officials no longer make available to reporters a daily tally
of the number of incidents reported around the country.
