The Pentagon says it’s sending Iraq another installment of small arms and ammunition requested by Baghdad as it battles al-Qaida militants for control of Fallujah and other key cities in Anbar province. A Pentagon spokesman said Friday that Iraq will be receiving the extra arms and ammunition “very shortly.” Army Col. Steve Warren declined to say whether Washington is considering using U.S. troops to train Iraqi forces.
