Renewed fighting shakes embattled Falluja


Wednesday 28 April 2004, 20:05 Makka Time, 17:05 GMT


US fire has targeted fighters mainly in the Golan district


Gunfire and explosions have rattled Falluja as President Bush insists his forces will do what it takes to control the city.



Shelling and fierce exchanges of gunfire broke out mid-afternoon on Wednesday in three districts of Falluja, which had already been pounded by airborne gunships overnight.

Local hospital staff said at least 10 residents had been wounded in the latest bout of fighting.

"Two US helicopters bombed the Golan and Askari districts in Falluja, just a short period after the Martyrs district was bombed by a jet fighter," Aljazeera's correspondent in Falluja said.

Aljazeera footage showed plumes of black smoke rising from several buildings that had been hit by US airborne gunships. The bombardment came hours after the US forces allowed some families to return to Falluja.
