BAGHDAD Sunni militants fighting under the banner of Al Qaeda appeared to
make gains across Anbar Province on Saturday, using snipers and
rocket-propelled grenades in heavy street fighting as they secured nearly
full control of Falluja and captured the strategic town Karma. Government
forces and the tribal militias fighting with them seemed unable to resist
the militants advances.
.
One senior police official in Anbar said Saturday that Falluja is
completely under the control of Al Qaeda. Other reports suggested that
some areas on the citys outskirts were still being contested, while
government forces positioned themselves outside Falluja. They shelled the
city throughout Friday night and into Saturday morning, killing at least
19 civilians and wounding dozens more, according to a hospital official in
Falluja. Civilians, terrified and running low on food, were fleeing the
major cities to desert villages and, in some cases, to the homes of
relatives in Baghdad.
.
The fighting that has been going on for days has proved to be a crucial
test for Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Malikis Shiite-led government, which
is facing an escalating Sunni-led insurgency that threatens to tear the
country apart. The unrest and the seeming inability of the Iraqi
government forces, who were trained and equipped by the United States at a
cost of billions of dollars, to quell it underscores the steady
deterioration of Iraqs security since the last American troops left two
years ago.
.
Over that time, Iraqs Sunnis have become increasingly disenchanted with
the policies of Mr. Malikis government, which has alienated Sunni leaders
and carried out mass arrests of Sunni citizens in an effort to find
insurgents. Such actions have made it harder for the government to halt
the resurgence of Al Qaeda here.
.
While many Sunnis may not be sympathetic to the militants, they are also
reluctant to support the central government in ways that could help
improve security, such as providing intelligence.
