Fallujah - At least 13 Iraqis were killed and a dozen wounded in overnight clashes between US troops and insurgents in the flashpoint of Fallujah, west of the capital, hospital sources and police said on Friday.
"We have 13 killed and 13 wounded," said doctor Bilal Jassem at Fallujah's main hospital without indicating if the casualties were civilians or fighters.
The US military said earlier that it targeted insurgents in Fallujah on Thursday night with artillery and air fire after they attacked a marine position in the city with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire.
