AP; Allawi Threatens Military Action Iraq’s interim prime minister on Wednesday threatened military action against the main insurgent stronghold of Fallujah if residents don’t hand over Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Fallujah, in Iraq’s Sunni Muslim heartland, is believed to be a stronghold of al-Zarqawi’s feared Tawhid and Jihad group, which has kidnapped and beheaded numerous foreigners and has carried out a number of bloody bombing attacks. “If they do not turn in al-Zarqawi and his group, we will carry out operations in Fallujah,” Prime Minister Ayad Allawi told a meeting of the interim National Council on Wednesday. “We will not be lenient.” Allawi urged anxious council members, who expressed concern about a wave of bombings, kidnappings and other attacks, to “have faith in yourself and in Iraq.” However, he conceded: “The more we crack down on terrorist havens, the more these strikes are going to increase.”
