"FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. warplanes bombed houses in the Iraqi city of Falluja for a third successive night, killing at least eight people, four of them children, doctors and residents said on Thursday.

A statement from the U.S. military said the air assault was part of a "precision strike" on an operating base for Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a man Washington says is allied to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.

A doctor at Falluja's main hospital, Rafi Hayad, said four of those killed were children and two women. He said at least 16 people had been wounded, eight of them children.

Bloodied bodies lay on hospital beds while residents with flashlights searched for more victims in the rubble.

The strike was launched shortly after 2 a.m. (6 p.m. EDT) on a northern district of Falluja, a city of around 250,000 people which has been a focus of anti-American activity since the U.S.-led invasion and is largely under guerrilla control."
