Iraq’s new prime minister Iyad Allawi said Tuesday, July 6, 2004, that his government cooperated in a US air strike on the town of Fallujah that killed at least 13 people and wounded 5 others. He added that his interim government had provided intelligence for the attack. A US military spokesman alleged that the target was a house suspected of being used by supporters of an alleged Al-Qaeda leader, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, who has been frequently blamed by US forces for organizing anti-US resistance in Fallujah.
