A Iraqi woman begs from men leaving Adhamiya, the main Sunni mosque,
after Friday prayerS in Baghdad June 13, 2003. U.S. troops killed 27
Iraqis who ambushed a tank patrol, after killing at least 70 at a
guerrilla camp the day before, in the bloodiest clashes since President
George W. Bush declared major combat over. The U.S. military has
launched two big operations west and north of Baghdad this week to try
to root out what it says are diehard Saddam Hussein loyalists behind a
recent spate of attacks on American troops in mainly Sunni Muslim
areas. REUTERS/Radu Sigheti REUTERS
