The U.S. military says it carried out an airstrike in the city of Al-Fallujah today targeting suspected militants linked to alleged Al-Qaeda operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. A statement said the attack targeted 10 to 12 militants and was conducted in coordination with the Iraqi authorities. The U.S. military reported no casualties.
