Some media reports suggest the death toll might be higher.
The U.S. military says the air strike was aimed at a suspected hideout of Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi, an alleged mastermind of the anti-U.S. insurgency in Iraq.
Also in Iraq, a senior Iraqi Finance Ministry official was injured and two of his staff members were killed when an explosion struck their convoy in Baghdad.
One soldier from the U.S.-led coalition was also reported killed today and two others wounded after a roadside bomb struck their convoy near the northern city of Mosul. A coalition spokesman declined to give the nationalities of the victims.
