Night vision of attack by US troops on Fallujah

(27 Apr 2004) +++AUDIO AS INCOMING+++ Night vision 1. Various of Coalition attack on Fallujah, explosions 2. Wide shot skyline with fire and smoke rising, zooms into flames and smoke STORYLINE: Explosions shook Fallujah after dark and large plumes of smoke rose into the air on Tuesday as fighting erupted for the second straight night. A US AC-130 gunship hammered targets in the city. Blasts and gunfire went on steadily for more than half an hour in sustained fighting, apparently in the northern Jolan district, a poor neighbourhood where Sunni insurgents are concentrated. Flames could be seen rising from building, and mosque loudspeakers in other parts of the city were calling on firefighters to mobilise. The eruption of fighting came as a two-day extension to a cease-fire came to end. Earlier in the day, US aircraft dropped white leaflets over Fallujah, calling on insurgents to surrender. "Surrender, you are surrounded," the leaflets said. "If you are a terrorist, beware, because your last day was yesterday. In order to spare your life end your actions and surrender to coalition forces now. We are coming to arrest you." The US military on Sunday announced the two-day extension to the fragile ceasefire to give political efforts a chance - backing down from threats to launch an all-out assault on the city to root our insurgents. Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt said on Monday and Tuesday there was no ultimatum for a launch of an assault if political efforts are not showing results. Earlier on Tuesday, Marines were pushing ahead with a key part of the political track, the introduction of US-Iraqi patrols into Fallujah. Those patrols are due to begin on Tuesday. Heavy fighting erupted on Monday night in the Jolan neighbourhood, where one Marine and eight insurgents were killed, and tank fire destroyed a mosque minaret that US commanders said insurgents were using as sniper's nest.
