BBC News - Iraq conflict: Sunni fighters 'control all of Fallujah'
Iraqi Government has lost control of the strategic town of Fallujah. Local tribesmen allied with al-Qaeda and now hold the town. Sadly its going to be upto the people of Iraq now to fight back against these terrorist groups, the prime minister vowing
"We will not back down until we end all terrorist groups and save our people in Anbar."
However he withdrew troops from the area and late on Saturday, eyewitnesses said al-Qaeda militants were in evidence on the streets of Fallujah, riding pick-up trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns.
