US forces have attacked what they said was a safehouse belonging to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Fallujah, killing at least six people.
In the fourth strike targeting suspected Zarqawi hideouts in Fallujah in the past two weeks, a US plane fired a missile overnight that witnesses said reduced the building to rubble.
Hospital sources said 15 people were injured in the strike, some of them women and children.
