Experts have warned that militants are spilling out of the city, past coalition troops and into an area near Baghdad known as "the triangle of death".
Eight-hundred and fifty British Black Watch soldiers have moved into the area to free up US troops for the assault. The US military said it expected about 5000 insurgents in Falluja but revised its estimate to 1200 at the weekend.
Insurgents stepped up their assaults on coalition forces on Saturday with attacks in Baghdad, the rebel-held city of Ramadi and Samarra, where they killed about 37 people.
Yesterday rebels executed 21 policemen in Haditha, a small town just outside Falluja, in an armed raid on a police station.
Police also bore the brunt of the rebels' wrath in Samarra, with insurgents attacking four police stations, one of which was rammed by a suicide car bomber. Three other car bombs were also set off in the city. Police said the onslaught killed 34 people - 19 police officers, four security officers and 11 civilians - and wounded 43 people.

No highlights here? Why?
These are murderers, fanatical zealots who kill innocents every day. Now it's time to put down the insurgency. Best of luck to my brothers and sisters on the ground, hopefully their stories of heroism in combat won't get buried behind the partisan garbage this war generates daily.
