U.S. planes bomb Fallujah in major strike
U.S. forces dropped two tons of bombs on a claimed militant safehouse in Fallujah, killing at least 10 and leaving a 30 foot deep sand and rubble pit. Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi said intelligence aided the strike as insurgents faced new security measures. Separately, an Iraqi militant group denied beheading Marine Cpl. Hassoun amid conflicting Internet postings. Oil exports halved due to a key pipeline shutdown, as repairs began and rescue crews retrieved body parts from the blast site.
