[edit] Summary

Original Caption: As the sun begins to set in western Al Anbar Province, Iraq, U.S. Marines from the Hawaii-based Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment patrol through back alleys in Haqlaniyah, Iraq, June, 1, 2006. The Marines were searching for insurgents and contraband in the city of 30,000, which is nestled along the Euphrates River northwest of Baghdad. Marines and Iraqi soldiers frequently patrol Haqlaniyah, where arguably some of the fiercest violence by insurgents against Coalition Forces occurs. Since their arrival more than two months ago, the Marines have engaged insurgents frequently. Most recently, the Marines fought insurgents hiding in an abandoned hotel, which was later bombed by U.S. military aircraft.
