BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. Consulate on Friday urged Americans to take precautions amid rumors of a "day of resistance" this weekend in the Iraqi capital.

Attacks against U.S. forces and Iraqi police have escalated recently, with the most dramatic and bloodiest day coming Monday. More than 30 people were killed then in four suicide bombings in Baghdad, including an assault on the International Committee of the Red Cross headquarters.

In the latest violence, an Iraqi policeman was killed Friday in a riot near Baghdad International Airport. U.S. troops and armed Iraqis exchanged fire.

A witness said residents were protesting the imprisonment of Iraqis in nearby Abu Grieb prison when a U.S. military vehicle pulled up on a curb near the demonstration. Stones were thrown at the American troops, and the witness said a riot broke out.

1. "DAY" of resistance?

No mention of the past few months of resistance then? Or the more-than-likely upcoming huhdreds of days of resistance?

3. I was going to point out the same.

Just ONE DAY of resistance is planned??? I suppose the 8.5 minute TV-driven attention spans are not capable of focusing on much more than one day.

Wait till the middle of Nov. when all these folks are in really bad moods from having to fast everyday.

How much more success can we take?
