U S plans payroll based Fallujah force led by ex general
A proposed Iraqi military unit of about 1000, led by a Saddam-era general, would be funded by the United States and could include some gunmen who have fought U S Marines. The plan aims to end Fallujah’s siege by co opting former foes under the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, while hardcore militants would be excluded. US airstrikes continued as negotiations remained tentative and Marines eyed possible joint patrols.
