Iraq Conflict: Sunni Fighters 'Control All Of Fallujah' -- BBC
The Iraq government has lost control of the strategic city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, say officials and witnesses.
Al-Qaeda-linked militants now control the south of the city, a security source told the BBC. An Iraqi reporter there says tribesmen allied with al-Qaeda hold the rest of Fallujah.
Fighting there erupted after troops broke up a protest camp by Sunni Arabs in the city of Ramadi on Monday.
They have been accusing the Shia-led government of marginalising the Sunnis.
The recent fighting in Fallujah and Ramadi has pitted government troops against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), which is affiliated with al-Qaeda, and Sunni tribesmen.
