  • Story Text: An Iraqi citizen has been killed in clashes which took
    place between Iraqis and American soldiers in the restive town
    of Falluja west of Baghdad on Friday night.



    The Iraqi town of Falluja was the scene of chaos
    following clashes with local residents and U.S. soldiers late
    on Friday (June 6).

    Earlier, 16 people were killed when the residents of
    Falluja
    clashed with U.S. troops in May.

    More U.S. troops had been sent to Falluja, 60km west of
    Baghdad to seek those who were launching attacks against the
    American forces.

    The 3rd Infantry Division distributed pamphlets on Friday
    in the town, warning the citizens that they (the American
    soldiers) "would detain any curfew violators and anyone
    working counter to the coalition and free people of Iraq."
    The pamphlet said the curfew was to start at 11:00 pm and
    go on to 04:00 am local time.

    The American troops issued warnings on loudspeakers on
    Thursday (June 6), calling upon the Iraqi citizens in the town
    to go indoors.
