U.S. warplanes struck suspected rebel targets in
the western city of Falluja late on Saturday, killing three people, but
officials denied a report that Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
had been captured there. A Reuters witness said tanks could be seen
moving on a highway just outside Falluja and were shelling suspected
guerrilla positions. Hospital officials in the city said three peope
were killed by the U.S. air strikes. Iraq's U.S.-backed interim
government has said it will launch a major offensive in Falluja unless
the city hands over Zarqawi and his militant followers. Explosions
