Description
English: During a patrol in Barwana, Iraq, June 16, 2006, a Marine assigned to Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, signals a vehicle to come to a halt as a local man watches. Despite the stunning blow to Iraq�s insurgency two weeks ago with the death of Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi, Marines and Iraqi soldiers in this Al Anbar Province city are continuing the fight against terrorism by combating insurgent activity nearly daily. But while the Marines and Iraqi soldiers patrol the worn streets lined with pock marks from improvised explosive devices � homemade bombs that have bedeviled Coalition Forces � the Marines are reminded that insurgents are still working behind the scenes and planning attacks in this city of 30,000 located on the Euphrates River northwest of Baghdad. Still, the Marines here say that even though it has been a long and grueling three months, the insurgency is beginning to crumble as local residents are warming up to the Marines� presence and the Iraqi Army is becoming a more solid and independent organization.
