Tracer fire STORYLINE: The skies over Fallujah lit up from the flashes of air and artillery barrages as US troops launched an offensive to destroy key rebel strongholds in the beleaguered Iraqi city. In the latest video from the area, shot by embedded reporters with US Army Task Force 22, the north of the city could be seen coming under heavy artillery fire on Monday night. Heavy firing continued into the pre-dawn hours Tuesday. Residents reached by satellite telephone reported the constant drone of American warplanes overhead. The offensive is considered by the US as the most important military effort to establish government control over Sunni strongholds west of Baghdad before elections in January. About three thousand fighters were barricaded in Fallujah, US commanders have estimated. US commanders have avoided any public estimate on how long it may take to capture the city, where insurgents fought US Marines to a standstill last April in a three-week siege.
