BAGHDAD, Iraq - A posting on an Islamist Web site warned Iraqis to stay at home Wednesday in Baghdad and other cities or they would be "putting their lives in danger."



The statement, in the name of eight known militant groups, said the unified "Islamic resistance" would step up operations against the "American enemy" in retaliation for the U.S.-led attack on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah.


The statement urged Iraqis to stay at home Wednesday "to avoid putting their lives in danger."


In Tikrit, Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s hometown, insurgents distributed leaflets warning shopkeepers to close their stores indefinitely starting Wednesday to protest the attack on Fallujah.
