Yahoo! News - Gunmen Kill 22 Iraqi Police, U.S. Hits Falluja
FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - Gunmen captured 21 Iraqi policemen and shot them in cold blood on Sunday, a day after attacks on security forces that killed 34 people, police said.

The weekend attacks were a clear riposte to a planned offensive by U.S. forces on the Sunni Muslim rebel strongholds of Falluja and Ramadi as part of the interim government's drive to cripple Iraq's insurgency before elections in January.

On Saturday, bombings and attacks on police stations killed 34 people, mostly police, in the restive city of Samarra, some 100 km (60 miles) north of Baghdad. Allawi's office said 49 people were also wounded. All the casualties were men. U.S. troops enforced a round-the-clock curfew in Samarra and nearby villages on Sunday, with patrols ordering people by loudspeaker to stay at home or be killed, residents said.

The Samarra violence erupted barely a month after U.S. and Iraqi forces stormed the city to dislodge rebels in what was then seen as a model for similar actions in Falluja and Ramadi.

If Samarra is a "model" then obviously the violence will not end with an assualt on Falluja- I predict it will get worse. And it will move from town to town as we create more insurgents with every Iraqi death.
