U.S. Military Targets Suspected Militants In Al-Fallujah


(file photo) 23 July 2004 -- The U.S. military says it carried out an airstrike in the city of Al-Fallujah today targeting suspected militants linked to alleged Al-Qaeda operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

A statement said the attack targeted 10 to 12 militants and was conducted in coordination with the Iraqi authorities. The U.S. military reported no casualties.

But residents and doctors in a Al-Fallujah hospital said at least five civilians, some of them children, were wounded.

In another incident, the U.S. military said two American soldiers were killed and one injured in a roadside bomb attack on their convoy yesterday near the town of Samarra north of Baghdad.
