30 Iraqis Killed by US
Marines Near Falluja

CAMP FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) -

U.S. Marines killed around 30 Iraqis overnight
in a firefight near the flashpoint town of
Falluja, Colonel John Coleman said on Saturday.

Marines spotted a small group of armed men,
one with a mortar, and shot at them near a
small village on the banks of the Euphrates,
he said at the U.S. base of Camp Falluja, just
outside the town.

The Iraqis were joined by about 30 others
and the Marines called in air support, Coleman,
the chief of staff of the Marine Expeditionary
Force, told reporters.

He said all the Iraqis were killed in the action,
but gave no other details.

Marines have been ordered to suspend
offensive operations for nearly two weeks
to allow talks with Falluja civic leaders aimed
at restoring peace to the town, but are allowed
to shoot back if fired on.
