U.S. jets attack Falluja safehouse - At least ten dead in air raid: reports


BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S military launched a co-ordinated air strike today on a safehouse in the turbulent city of Falluja, the military said. At least 10 people were killed, officials and witnesses said.


Ambulances raced to the eastern side of the city, where U.S. air strikes have frequently targeted safehouses used by members of Jordanian militant Abu Musab Zarqawi's network. Rescue workers picked up human remains, witnesses said.

Four 225-kilogram bombs and two 450-kilogram bombs were dropped, the military said.

It said the operation employed precision weapons and underscored the resolve of coalition and Iraqi forces "to jointly destroy terrorist networks within Iraq."

Dr. Diaa Jumaili of Falluja Hospital said 10 bodies had arrived there, most of them dismembered.

U.S. forces have hit the area with four air strikes since June 19, killing dozens. Al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant said to be connected to Al Qaeda, is believed to be behind a series of co-ordinated attacks on police and security forces that killed 100 people only days before U.S. forces handed over power to an Iraqi interim government.

The attacks have led to fears that religious fanatics and Saddam Hussein loyalists may be joining forces to fight both the multinational force and the new Iraqi government.

Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi has promised tough measures against the insurgents. He also said today that he wouldn't interfere with an Iraqi tribunal's right to decide whether Saddam and his top lieutenants should be executed on war crimes charges, the Arab language television station Al-Arabiya reported.
