British troops may be sent to Baghad for a few weeks.

Extract from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3748360.stm

British soldiers could be sent to support American forces in some of Iraq's most volatile areas. Senior British military sources say the US has asked British troops to fill in behind American soldiers, who are being sent elsewhere.

It is believed UK forces could be sent from Basra, in southern Iraq, to an area south of Baghdad.

News just in on Sky News via AP:


"Fallujah offers to resume talks if attacks stop"

Didn't catch the audio, but that's what the strap says. There'll doubtless be more from Sky's website in the fullness of time when they update it.
