Latif, an intelligence officer, trained in Britain, was exiled and may also have spent time in prison, a U.S. military source said.
But unlike Saleh who is a local man, Latif hails from Baghdad, 50 km (30 miles) to the east, which may not endear him so easily to local people.
Whatever Latif's credentials, it remains to be seen whether the Falluja Brigade can deliver on U.S. demands that it crush some 2,000 rebels and root out perhaps 200 foreign militants.
