U.S.  planes, tanks and artillery units launched new air strikes in the rebel-held city of Falluja on Saturday aimed at killing supporters of a Jordanian militant who has led a campaign of suicide bombings and kidnappings in IraqIn one attack, the U.S. military said it targeted supporters of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and that no innocent civilians were in the area. In a second operation, U.S. forces responded with a "precision air strike" against a house after American troops came under small arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire. Doctors at Falluja's main hospital said at least seven civilians were killed and 13 wounded, including women and children. Reuters television pictures showed a crowd of Iraqis digging through the ruins of a destroyed building, and pulling out survivors including two women and two children.
