From IWPR's Iraqi Press Monitor:
(Al-Taakhi) – Prime Minister Iyad Allawi last Monday said the crime rate had fallen after the last offensive launched by US and Iraqi forces on Fallujah. "The crime rate is still decreasing. Although cleaning up the city continues, we are taking steps to bring Fallujans back," he added. Large parts of Fallujah have been described as an arsenal and an underground camp where explosives were hidden.
(Al-Taakhi is issued daily by the Kurdistan Democratic Party.)
Actually, I assume Allawi is referring (tre euphemistically) to insurgent attacks. But who knows.
