Iraq's U.S administrator Paul Bremer said U.S. forces had unilaterally suspended operations in the Sunni town of Falluja at midday after this week's crackdown on guerrillas.

He said the U.S. cease-fire would allow humanitarian access and what would be unprecedented talks with insurgents.

About 10 bodies lay in the streets of the town west of Baghdad after heavy overnight fighting, witnesses said. A rocket hit a house before the truce came into force, killing all five family members inside, including three children.

This week's bloodshed, engulfing the hitherto quiescent Shi'ite south as well as the bastions of Sunni insurgency in central Iraq, has shown how far the United States is from securing the country whose dictator it toppled on April 9, 2003.

I don't think it is.

as soon as it was released the guy in charge of the troops said there was no cease fire and the planes started bombing the city..hundreds of people are fleeing the city across open fields to the closest town..
