Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt also said a number of Iraqis were being questioned in connection with the attack, including the mayor of Fallujah who had submitted his resignation a few days before the Saturday assault.
Kimmitt acknowledged that initial reports spoke of foreigners having taken part in the Saturday attack, in which 25 people were killed in simultaneous attacks on the police station and the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps compound.
Iraqi authorities said two attackers were captured and at least four were killed.
