US-Iraqi troops wage offensive against insurgents in Ramadi

BAGHDAD, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Hundreds of US and Iraqi soldiers launched
on Saturday a new offensive against insurgents in the flashpoint city of
Ramadi, the US military said.
"Approximately 550 Iraqi army soldiers and US soldiers from the 2nd
Brigade Combat Team attached to the 2nd Marine Division, kicked off
Operation Tigers (Nimur) this morning in the Ma'Laab District of eastern
Ramadi," the military said in a statement.
The Operation Tigers consists of approximately 150 Iraqi soldiers and
400 marines. They are conducting cordon and searches, blocking off known
terrorist escape routes, and searching for weapons caches in the targeted
areas, according to the statement.
The new offensive is the forth in a series of "disruption operations" by
the US marines and Iraqi army in the volatile province of Anbar.

Sound pretty good.
