- Story Text: 12 wounded in U.S. attack on Falluja.
American forces attacked Falluja late on Friday (27
August).
Some civilian cars and at least one house caught fire
in a raid the U.S said was aimed at anti-U.S. insurgents.
The Falluja General Hospital, received at least 12
wounded people.
"We received some dead and wounded people from the
American attack, including some children and elderly
people. Too much blood was shed" (Question: "how many
injured?) "So far we have 12 injured," said a doctor.
The mainly Sunni town of Falluja, about 90km west of
Baghdad, has seen intense resistance to U.S. forces since
they toppled Saddam Hussein in April 2003.
