By MARIAM FAM, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Iraqi government Sunday declared a state of emergency for 60 days throughout the country except for Kurdish-run areas of the north as U.S. and Iraqi forces prepare for an expected all-out assault on rebels in Fallujah.


The announcement was made by government spokesman Thair Hassan al-Naqeeb at a press conference.


Al-Naqeeb did not give any details about how the emergency rules would be applied but said they would be announced Monday.


He also declined to say whether the announcement signaled an imminent attack on the insurgent stronghold Fallujah.
