- Story Text: Further air strikes on Falluja kill at least six,
according to doctors.
U.S. aircraft have again attacked targets in Falluja
on Friday (September 17) night.
Doctors at Falluja's hospital said at least six people
were killed. Residents said four houses were destroyed.
The U.S. military said an air strike on Thursday
(September 16) night near Falluja had killed around 60
foreign fighters loyal to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian
with a $25 million price on his head.
Early on Friday, U.S. warplanes destroyed a compound in
south central Falluja that the U.S. military said was also
used by Zarqawi's militants.
Iraq's Health Ministry said at least 45 civilians had
been killed in the air strikes. Reuters television images
showed bloodied bodies, including women and children, on
hospital beds.
