ABSTRACT

The article focuses on the guerilla war in Iraq in December 2005. Two U.S. servicemen were killed by a roadside bomb on December 24, 2005. An attack on an Iraqi army base killed ten people. By Christmas Day the death toll of the U.S. military reached 2,168. In an effort to curtail flagrant abuses of Sunni Arab civilians by "Iraqi" police commando units, the U.S. military announced plans to significantly increase the number of American advisors within their ranks. With the arrival of 2006, thirteen Iraqis were killed and scores injured by 13 car bombs exploded around Iraq.
