"Bombardment targeted the Fadhiyya district at 1:00 am," Sheikh Mohammad al-Janabi, a tribal chief from Jurf al-Sakhr, a town 60 kilometers (40 miles) from Baghdad, told AFP.

12 others were also wounded and some of them were transferred to the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah in the neighboring province of Anbar.

A lieutenant in the Iraqi army said "the Iraqi forces used a variety of weapons to target insurgent bases in Jurf al-Sakhr overnight".
