At least 15 Iraqis were killed in a US airstrike on Fallujah.
The attack occurred at 7:15 pm when US warplanes dropped four 500-pound bombs and two 1,000-pound bombs "against a Mujahideen safe house," said a US military spokesman. It is the deadliest single incident since the US-led coalition handed official power to a caretaker government on June 28. Hospital sources said at least 15 people were killed and many injured in the attack on the house in the Shuhada neighborhood of Fallujah, west of Baghdad. "I saw eight bodies pulled out," said volunteer Amer Hassan as he lifted debris frantically and dozens searched for people buried in the wreckage. "I saw at least three people were injured." The attack is the fifth such raid over the past two weeks in Fallujah. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Iraqis in Fallujah crying for their killed relatives. (April, 2004) (Al-Jazeera)
