15 hard boyz killed in Mosul
At least 15 militants were killed in Mosul in a US-led effort to root out insurgency in Iraq, but fresh violence broke out in the heart of Baghdad when gunmen attacked police targets. A force of about 400 newly-trained Iraqi commandos staged an overnight raid into the Old City of Mosul, the third largest town in Iraq and the country's northern capital. The target was thought to be a meeting place for insurgents who have wreaked havoc in the city in recent weeks, raiding police stations and precipitating a major US-Iraqi offensive involving thousands of troops. "We are finding the (insurgent) pockets with Iraqis, and going and asking them to come out and fight," said Colonel Robert Brown, a senior US military commander in Mosul. "Every time they fight, we will kill a lot of them." He said 15 rebels had been killed and 45 other suspects detained in joint operations throughout the city over the past 24 hours.
