BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) A month of U.S. airstrikes on rebel-held Fallujah has killed more than 100 suspected insurgents, taking a heavy toll on the terror network of Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, senior U.S. military officials said on Sunday.

The strikes have stopped attacks elsewhere in Iraq while setting off deadly feuds among insurgent groups holed up in the city west of Baghdad, said Air Force Brig. Gen. Erv Lessel, deputy operations director for U.S.-led forces here.

''We're confident that, through these airstrikes, we have been able to thwart many large-scale attacks and suicide bombings that were in the planning process,'' Lessel said in a briefing with reporters. ''We've gotten some of his associates and emerging leadership in his organization.''

The airstrikes have not, however, halted a record number of car bombings this month, mainly in Baghdad and nearby Sunni Muslim majority cities. With a twin car bombing outside an Iraqi national guard base that wounded U.S. and Iraqi troops Sunday, at least 34 suicide car bombings have been launched in September.

2. As in VietNam, in Iraq

any Iraqi man, woman, child, elederly person or pet is considered a guerrilla suspect.

Each day we are in Iraq our national soul sinks further into Hell.
