U.S. Increases Military Strength in Fallujah

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Marines have moved a third battalion near Fallujah to join siege of the city, where two battalions of about 1,200 Marines are already in place, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt (search) said Saturday.



Kimmitt said Marines would end their 24-hour-old pause in offensive operations in Fallujah if discussions between Iraqi politicians and Fallujah (search) city officials do not produce results. He said the insurgents continued to fire at U.S. forces.

"There is a new battalion, third battalion of Marines," Kimmitt said.

"Were we not at this point observing suspension of offensive operations, I think we would have been much further along, and it could well have been that we would have had the entire the city by this point," he told reporters in Baghdad.
