| Iraq declares martial law |
|
IRAQ'S interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi declared martial law today and said a US-led military offensive against the rebel-held city of Fallujah could not be delayed much longer.
Insurgents have intensified violence in Iraq to show their muscle before the US offensive on Fallujah begins, and police said gunmen killed 23 policemen in three attacks today.*skip* Moments after the announcement, a car bomb exploded near the house of Iraqi Finance Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi in central Baghdad's Karrada district, killing two people.
