Falluja under sustained US attack

US aircraft have attacked parts of the Iraqi city of Falluja, killing at least three people and wounding four others. A doctor at Falluja general hospital, Ahmad Ali, said early on Wednesday the toll from the attacks on Falluja could rise. The attacks in the east of the volatile city 65km west of Baghdad sent large plumes of smoke high into the air, witnesses said. US forces have launched several air strikes in recent months on buildings in Falluja it said were being used by fighters linked to al-Qaida ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. [ more ]
