6 Said Killed in Fallujah Target Bombing

A U.S. Marine warplane bombed suspected militants trying to rebuild a command post in the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah on Sunday, and witnesses said six people were killed.

The F-18 Hornet struck the post that was gutted in an earlier bombing run, causing "significant" explosions in a northern district of Fallujah, said Lt. Lyle Gilbert, a Marine spokesman.

"Every time we see them attempting to rebuild, we'll destroy it. It's simple," Gilbert said.

Witnesses said six people died in the airstrike, and at least one corpse was taken to the Fallujah General Hospital. Gilbert had no information on casualties.
