Black smoke plumed above western Fallujah yesterday as US and -Iraqi troops battled to secure a hospital and two bridges, while marines entered the northwest of the rebel enclave, embedded reporters said.
US warplanes and artillery shells also pounded the centre of the city during the morning, leaving 12 people dead, according to an official from a local clinic.
Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said yesterday he has authorised US-led military forces and Iraqi forces to enter the rebel-held city of Fallujah.
"I have given my authority to the multinational forces, I have given my authority to the Iraqi forces... we are determined to clear Fallujah from terrorists,’' Allawi said, responding in English to a question at a Baghdad news conference.
Allawi announced yesterday he would impose a curfew and other measures under emergency laws on the rebel cities of Fallujah and Ramadi starting at 6:00 pm (1500 GMT).
"I have decided today (Monday) to implement the security law in Fallujah and Ramadi and the procedure will be carried out after 6:00pm today," Allawi told a news conferencein Baghdad.
He also announced that the international airport would be closed to civilian flights for 48 hours.
l\vo US marines were killed in action overnight in Iraq's restive al-Anbar province, which is home to the rebel cities of Fallujah and Ramadi, the military said yesterday.
The marines were killed sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning, said a spokesman, but did not reveal where the fatalities took place or how.
The latest US deaths bring to 1,126 the number of US troops killed in Iraq since the US-led invasion in March2003.
A suicide bomber, meanwhile, blew up his red Opel car near a US convoy on Baghdad's main airport road yesterday, killing at least three people, witnesses said.
Reuters photographer saw American soldiers taking three bodies from a four-wheel-drive vehicle wrecked in the blast and loading them on stretchers into a military ambulance.
A group led by al-Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said in an Internet statement that it had carried out the attack.
A barrage of rocket, mortar and gunfire rained down on Iraqi troops as they tried to raise the new Iraqi flag at Fallujah's main hospital on the western edge of the city, which was seized during a pre-dawn operation with the US marines, a reporter embedded with the military said.
