  • Story Text: Three killed in U.S. air attack on Falluja.




    U.S. aircraft attacked targets in the Iraqi city of
    Falluja early on Wednesday (August 25), killing three
    people and wounding four others, a hospital official said.

    Ahmad Ali, a doctor at the Falluja General Hospital,
    said the toll could rise. The attacks, in the east of the
    volatile city west of Baghdad, sent large plumes of smoke
    high into the air.

    U.S. forces have launched several air strikes in recent
    months on buildings in Falluja that it said were being used
    by fighters linked to al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
