Fallujah Districts are Now Open
2005-01-17
FALLUJAH, Iraq(Jan. 17, 2005) -- The Interim Iraqi Government (IIG) directed that Fallujah be reopened on a district by district basis, to citizens on Dec. 23. Assisted by Iraqi and U.S. forces, the city successfully opened all 18 districts on Jan 14. Security was paramount as five entry control points and curfews were established to ensure safety of its citizens. As of Jan. 16, more than 140,000 residents returned.

#4  We killed a lot of the trouble makers. I bet that we will continue to do so.

#3  And all citizens are being fingerprinted, ID carded, and retinal scanned. It will be interesting to see if such measures are effective in preventing the return of bad boyz.

#1  But, but... that's impossible! Fallujah was utterly destroyed and the "citizens" were far too fearful to return! I read it in the NYT, WaPo, Boston Probe, BBC - all of the reliable sources! This must be a hoax!
