FALLUJAH, Iraq, Sept 21, 2006 (AFP) - Seven Iraqi soldiers were killed on
Thursday in two separate attacks in the former rebel bastion town of
Fallujah in mainly Sunni Al-Anbar province, security officials said.

Iraqi army captain Mohammed Fayad from Fallujah said four soldiers were
killed and three wounded when a missile hit their camp northeast of the
town.

Police captain Ahmad Faisal said three soldiers were killed in clashes with
unknown gunmen in the centre of the town.

A bullet-riddled corpse was also found in Fallujah.

Iraq's Anbar province continues to be a battlefield for security forces,
especially US troops. The bulk of US military losses in Iraq have been in
the province located west of Baghdad.
