Although Bremer blamed "outside agitators", attackers were Iraqi
AP:
Yet another AQ story debunked.
[Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt] said Monday it appeared all the attackers wounded or killed in a weekend raid in Fallujah were Iraqis, despite initial reports that foreigners including Lebanese and Iranians were involved.
"There were foreigners apparently involved," Bremer said on ABC's "This Week." "We're still looking into that to try to find out what the implications are."
However, U.S. military officials said privately they doubted the attack was carried out by foreign fighters or al-Qaida terrorists but rather by veterans of Saddam Hussein's army.
