Casualties Mounting; Fallujah Offensive Continues

[Tab]

A total of 14 Americans have been killed in the past two days across Iraq -- including three killed in Fallujah on Tuesday and 11 others who died Monday, most of them as guerrillas launched a wave of attacks in Baghdad and southwest of Fallujah, a senior Pentagon official said.

The 11 deaths were the highest one-day U.S. toll in more than six months.

As fighting raged in Fallujah, Prime Minister Ayad Allawi declared a nighttime curfew in Baghdad and its surroundings -- the first curfew in the capital for a year -- a day after a string of insurgent attacks in the city killed nine Iraqis and wounded more than 80.
