U.S.-Led Offensive Continues in Iraq

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Insurgents armed with Kalashnikov rifles and rocket-propelled grenades battled about 3,500 U.S. and Iraqi troops Sunday in the gritty streets of Husaybah in the second day of an offensive to rout al-Qaida from its stronghold along the Syrian border.

Dozens of insurgents were killed by coalition forces on Saturday, said Cable News Network, which had a reporter embedded with the U.S. forces. A New York Times reporter on the scene said at least two American service members were wounded.

Two Sunni Arab politicians sharply criticized the Husaybag offensive.'
