UPI:

BAGHDAD, Jan. 7 (UPI) — There is no sense of order in the
restive western Iraqi city of Fallujah apart from that imposed by
al-Qaida, a spokesman for the Iraqi military said.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite, said Monday

spokesman Gen. Mohammad al-Askari said Fallujah, one of the largest
cities in the province, is in the hands of fighters loyal to
al-Qaida.
