A US war plane bombed a suspected weapons site on Friday in the restive Iraqi city of Fallujah, where hospital sources said six people were killed and four wounded.
"A US navy jet in support of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force dropped precision ordnance on a weapons cache site," said Major Francis Piccoli.
"We destroyed the site and there was a large secondary explosion," said the marine spokesman, adding that this indicated there had been munitions in the area. The raid took place at 5:19pm.
Doctor Nabil Nuri, from the Fallujah general hospital, said six people were killed and four wounded in the strike that rocked a residential area in Al-Askari towards the end of the daily fast during the Ramazan. Witnesses had earlier said casualties were pulled out from under the rubble of a house in Al-Askari.
