15 killed in US strike on Iraqi hotspot of Fallujah

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFP) - Fifteen people died when US jets spearheaded yet another assault on alleged Al-Qaeda fighters in Fallujah while Iraq's premier warned that key elections may be delayed in areas of unrest.

Amid the country's relentless hostage crisis and desperate efforts by Paris and Rome to secure the release of four kidnapped nationals, militants said they had seized two Australian and two East Asian security contractors.

"So far we received 15 bodies. Among them is an ambulance driver and two nurses, plus five wounded who were in the ambulance when it was bombed," said undertaker Falah Abdullah. <snip>

"They target peaceful families every day and every night. Then they say it's Zarqawi, weapons of mass destruction or terrorists they are after. Stop this destruction," said Sheikh Hamid Jaddoua.
