38 US soldiers killed, 275 wounded during Fallujah assault: military

BAGHDAD, Nov 15 (AFP) - Thirty-eight US soldiers have been killed and 275 wounded during a week-long assault on Iraq's rebel city of Fallujah, where troops continue to hunt down die-hard pockets of resistance, the US military said Monday.
Three of the deaths were not related to the fighting that has raged in the city since the battle was launched last Monday evening, while 60 of the injured have returned to duty, it said in a statement released overnight.
In a separate statement released on Monday, the US army said that most of Fallujah had been placed under control but that operations were not over.
