SAQLAWIYA, Iraq — The message Monday was about mosques, and it appeared to be a tough sell.

Marines and soldiers distributed leaflets in this farming village outside the encircled city of Fallouja asking residents to keep insurgents from using the local mosque for meetings or to store weapons.

Included in the message was a warning: If insurgents shoot at U.S. forces from mosques, the buildings will lose their protected status and will be fired on.
