Preparing for what is expected to be a massive offensive, more than 10-thousand U-S troops are circled around the war-torn city of Fallujah. More than 3-thousand insurgents are believed to be holed up in the city, possibly weakened by intense bombing over the last few days. Charlie D'Agata has the story.

WE WERE JUST RIDING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE WERE LOOKING TO THE FLANKS AND WE JUST PASSED THIS IED AND IT BLEW UP IN OUR FACE. An IED...improvised explosive device...detonated as the military convoy passed. MEDIC: I THINK HE MAY HAVE A BLAST INJURY TO THE CHEST. GONNA CHECK HIS LUNGS REAL QUICK. Troops say attacks like these just strengthen their resolve. JUST ANGER. I WANT TO FIND THE PERSON WHO DID IT, THAT'S ALL I WANT. But as American and Iraqi forces prepared for an all-out assault...insurgents opened up another front. Samarra, north of Fallujah, was a city under siege. Insurgents launched a series of ferocious coordinated attacks -- detonating a number of suicide car bombs...launching a mortar attack on a market...and storming a police station. Hospital officials say dozens of Iraqis have been killed. The carnage, in a city that US troops had supposedly recaptured from the insurgents. D'AGATA BRIDGE: WHEN MARINES AND IRAQI FORCES STORMED SAMARRA LAST MONTH, IT WAS SEEN AS A TOTAL SUCCESS. OVERWHELMING FORCE, FOLLOWED QUICKLY BY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN AID, HAD SUPPOSEDLY WON OVER THE POPULATION. IT BECAME KNOWN AS THE "SAMARRA MODEL" AND ONE THAT MILITARY COMMANDERS HAD HOPED TO APPLY TO FALLUJAH. Retaking the town will rely heavily on Iraqi forces...and there are signs the Iraqis may not be up for the fight. Charlie D'Agata, CBS News, Baghdad.))

The Virginia National Guard has created a force of 500 specially trained soldiers to assist law enforcement authorities in the event of a terrorist attack in Virginia. The Guard says the soldiers are on-call to respond within four hours if needed. The agreement is one of the first in the nation because U-S law usually bans federal military forces from direct involvement in law enforcement, except in certain emergencies.
