Fallujah delegation offers peace talks

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.

“We are ready to resume talks,” delegation member Khaled Fakhri al-Jumeili told reporters. “We suspended the talks because we felt that the Iraqi government, especially Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, was meeting the demands of the Americans.”
