11 US troops and an Iraqi interpreter were wounded Wednesday when two car bombs went off in Samarra. An Iraqi child was killed and a civilian was wounded, the US Army said.
Earlier, American troops launched rockets to central Fallujah early Wednesday, hitting a teacher's college and destroying a house, killing six people, police and locals said.
A family of six was killed when U.S. jets fired two rockets at their home in the central Wahda area, said neighbor Saeed Mohammed Bassem, 40. The couple and their four children had just returned to their home overnight after having fled the city a week earlier, he said, according to The AP.
Shortly later, a U.S. aircraft fired a rocket that hit the Female Teachers' Preparation Institute in the Jumhuriya area but it did not detonate, said police officer Mohsen Adnan.
Meanwhile, a suicide car bomb went off on the road to Baghdad's international airport but killed only the driver.
A few kilometres away, a roadside bomb detonated, damaging a tyre on a passing army vehicle but causing no casualties, an American spokesman said, according to AFP. (Albawaba.com)
