The US military launched air strikes on the restive city of Fallujah overnight, killing two people and injuring one, witnesses said on Thursday.

The strike flattened a house in Jolan neighborhood, and the owner of the house said that the two victims were his brothers, a local resident told Xinhua.

US forces have stormed the city almost daily to hunt Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian-born militant whose Tawhid and Jihad (Unityand Holy War) group has claimed some of the deadliest attacks in the country since the US-led invasion of Iraq last year.
