Intense fighting in several Iraqi cities

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. forces have been engaged in intense fighting after insurgents launched simultaneous attacks in several Iraqi cities, including Fallujah and Baqubah.

U.S. troops faced fierce resistance when they tried to enter an eastern industrial section of Fallujah around 8 a.m. (0400 GMT) Thursday.

Details of causalities were not immediately available.

The Associated Press reported witnesses hearing multiple explosions in the city, which lies in the restive Sunni triangle region -- loyal to the old Baathist regime of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Update - CNNI is reporting explosions in several Iraqi cities - many casualties...

Cripes! Sounds like a coordinated offensive on the part of the "insurgents"...:scared:
