U.S. Planes Strike Falluja, Zarqawi Arrest Denied

U.S. warplanes struck suspected rebel targets in the western city of Falluja late on Saturday, killing three people, but officials denied a report that Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been captured there. A Reuters witness said tanks could be seen moving on a highway just outside Falluja and were shelling suspected guerrilla positions. Hospital officials in the city said three peope were killed by the U.S. air strikes. Iraq's U.S.-backed interim government has said it will launch a major offensive in Falluja unless the city hands over Zarqawi and his militant followers.
