"The Americans have struck last night and three bodies were brought out from the wreckage," said police chief Colonel Muhammad Fadil on Thursday.

Twenty-one cars were burnt or damaged in the strikes, he added. US forces had sealed off the city, including the crucial bridge over the Tigris.

The US military confirmed fighting around Samarra on Wednesday evening when their troops were ambushed from a mosque.

"A 1st Infantry Division patrol was attacked September 22 by anti-Iraqi forces with small arms fire and mortar fire from a mosque in Samarra at approximately 5:00 pm (1300 GMT)," the military said, using its term for fighters.
