Wretchard is keeping up with events in Fallujah, and is the place to go for accurate information and reasoned analysis. He knows what he’s talking about.
The photo he linked to doesn’t give as close a view of the city as I would like, so I’ve included a linke to a photograph with higher resolution.
The railroad tracks and station are on the north edge of town. and the two bridges are pretty clear to the west. The northwest corner of the town has been the central focus of jihadist activity from the start, and is the oldest part of town with narrow streets and alleys.
That place looks familiar. Probably because I have been there before.

Stupid me. I went to place the hyperlink in and left it blank. Should work fine now, and he has an update.
