Fighting between US Marines and guerrillas has erupted in the Iraqi town of Fallujah on Saturday evening, threatening a month-long truce under which US troops left security to an Iraqi force.
Locals said US armoured vehicles had entered northern Fallujah in breach of an agreement to stay out of the area, and that at least one vehicle had been hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.
There was no word on casualties and the US military had no immediate comment.
