U.S. warplanes attacked the city of Fallujah on Wednesday, "hitting at suspected militant hideouts used to plan attacks on American forces," the U.S. military said, according to The AP. At least two people were reported killed, hospital officials said.
Witnesses said a series of blasts rocked the city before dawn and again later in the day.
Wednesday's raids targeted a "command and control headquarters that has recently been coordinating attacks" against "coalition" forces, the military said in a statement.
On Tuesday, U.S. aircraft fired several missiles into Fallujah, killing four people and and wounding 11, Fallujah hospital officials said.
In a statement late Tuesday, Marine spokesman Lt. Col. T.V. Johnson said "significant numbers of enemy fighters are estimated to have been killed" by Tuesday's missiles. (albawaba.com)
