HADITHA, Iraq ? A Marine with Company L, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment uses his bayonet to comb through loose dirt piles looking for weapons caches during operations to clear the city here Oct. 5. Met with little resistance, the Marines and Iraqi security force soldiers are clearing the city of the remains of insurgent activities in the area. In only a few days, they have rid the city of many landmines, weapons caches and improvised explosive devices in an effort to take back the town that in the recent past has killed over a dozen U.S. Marines.
