US declares ceasefire in Falluja - BBC

Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 04:11 AM by Spider Jerusalem

US administrator in Iraq Paul Bremer says US forces have suspended offensive operations in the town of Fallujah.

Mr Bremer said the aim was to try to initiate talks with local insurgents and allow aid deliveries.

Mr Bremer told reporters in Baghdad: "As of noon today, coalition forces have initiated a unilateral suspension of offensive operations in Falluja to allow for a meeting between members of the Governing Council, local Muslim leadership and the leadership of anti-coalition forces."

He did not say how long the suspension would last, but a member of the US-appointed Governing Council said it would be for 24 hours.
