U.S. troops kill 60 in Iraq Qaeda offensive
"BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Monday it had killed 60 militants during a week-long, U.S.-led offensive in northern Iraq against al Qaeda, a resilient foe that has resisted previous attempts to drive it from the region.
The U.S. military, which has declared al Qaeda the single greatest threat to Iraq's security and blamed it for an upsurge in suicide bombings, launched the offensive on January 8, focusing on four northern provinces and Baghdad's southern suburbs."
