1. A gas turbine engine comprising: a fuel circuit, including a first part, multiple fuel circuit branches of a second part and multiple valves respectively associated with each of the multiple fuel circuit branches;a combustor having a first interior in which a first fuel supplied thereto by the first part is combustible;a turbine, including rotating turbine blades, into which products of at least the combustion of the first fuel are receivable to power the rotation of the turbine blades;a transition zone, including a second interior in which a second fuel supplied thereto by any one of the multiple fuel circuit branches, the second fuel including gas receivable by the fuel circuit from an external source, and the products of the combustion of the first fuel are combustible, the transition zone being disposed to fluidly couple the combustor and the turbine to one another; anda plurality of late lean fuel injectors, which are structurally supported by the transition zone and coupled to any one of each of the multiple valves of each of the multiple fuel circuit branches, which are respectively configured to deliver the second fuel and air to the plurality of fuel injectors, the plurality of fuel injectors being configured to supply the second fuel to the second interior in any one of a single axial stage, multiple axial stages, a single axial circumferential stage and multiple axial circumferential stages, the fuel circuit connected to two different sources of fuel comprising a first source and an alternate source of fuel, the first source and alternate source of fuel each being fluidly connectable to the first part and second part of the fuel circuit, and a blend of the first and alternate sources of fuel being fluidly connectable to the first part and second part of the fuel circuit. 2. The gas turbine engine according to claim 1, further comprising a catalytic partial oxidation reactor, disposed along any one of the multiple fuel circuit branches by which the second fuel is supplied to the second interior, to at least partially oxidize the second fuel. 3. The gas turbine engine according to claim 1, wherein the fuel circuit comprises a valve to control an amount of fuel transmittable from the first part to the multiple fuel circuit branches of the second part. 4. The gas turbine engine according to claim 1, wherein each of the multiple valves is coupled to the multiple fuel circuit branches of the second part and to a supply of the air.
