<"I explained that I hoped that the peaceful citizens of the areas where the terrorists are based will help the government to arrest them," he said. "They assured me that they would work with my government to achieve this."

Allawi also said authorities have arrested 167 Arab foreign fighters, who are in Iraqi custody.

U.S. officials say the final order for an all-out attack on Fallujah will come from Allawi. Commanders have estimated that up to 5,000 Islamic militants, Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) loyalists and common criminals are holed up in the insurgent bastion.>

Here are some comments by Allawi. I don't see the situation in Fallujah being that different from the fate of al Sadr supporters a few weeks ago. The resistance will be broken by whatever force is necessary. Many of the Islamic militia is being supported by foreign fighters by whatever name you want to apply - Al Quaeda serves me just fine.
