US forces bombed again a site in Fallujah early Tuesday where several men loyal to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi were believed to be holed up, the American Army said.
"Intelligence indicated that the militants targeted were rising associates of al-Zarqawi and planning attacks using foreign suicide bombers in vehicles rigged with explosives," the military said in statement.
At least four people were killed in the latest US attack on the city, AlJazeera reported. Ten others were wounded.
Meanwhile, king Abdullah of Jordan said in an interview published Tuesday that elections in Iraq are impossible in the current chaos and that he sees no chances of improvement in the short term.
The Jordanian monarch, who was paying a brief visit to France, told Le Figaro newspapaer that, in his view, it is the "extremists" who would gain the upper hand in the current conditions in Iraq.
"It seems impossible to organize indisputable elections in the chaos of Iraq today," he was quoted as saying.
"The situation is very, very difficult and in the immediate I don't see any chance of improvement." (albawaba.com)
