A Fallujah delegation today offered to resume peace talks with the interim Iraqi government if the US ceases attacks against the city and releases the chief negotiator.

US warplanes pounded the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah yesterday, a day after the city’s leaders suspended peace talks and rejected the Iraqi government’s demands to turn over terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
