 By 28 June, fighting in at least parts of the town had ceased.US and allied troops were documented moving about in daylight and relaxed poses.On 1 July, three Iraqi soldiers were killed and 3 others wounded during a raid on a town house, but although there is some violence such as murders, this generally seems civil rather than (para) military in nature and as of 4 July, there was little indication that the situation in Baqubah is different from other places in Iraq with significant MNF presence.
