The doctor, Seifeddin Taha, said six people were also injured in the attack on Al-Fallujah, some 65 kilometers west of Baghdad.
The U.S. military has not commented on the casualties, but said in a statement that the strike was a "precision attack" targeting two safe houses used by associates of Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi, who U.S. officials say is linked with the Al-Qaeda terrorist network.
The U.S. statement said al-Zarqawi associates were earlier yesterday seen executing someone in southern Al-Fallujah.
