FALLUJAH, Iraq — U.S.
Marines battled insurgents for
control of tliis Sunni Muslim
stronghold Wednesday, calling
in airstrikes against a mosque
compound where witnesses said
dozens were killed in six hours
of fighting. An anti-U.S. upris
ing led by a radical Shiite cleric
raged for the fourth day in
southern cities.
The Abdel-Aziz al-Samarrai
mosque was hit by U.S. aircraft
that launched a Hellfire missile
at its minaret and dropped a
500-pound bomb on a wall sur
rounding the compound.
The U.S. military said insur
gents were using the mosque for
a military tire base. Iraqi wit
nesses estimated 40 people were
killed as they gathered for after
noon prayers. U.S. officials said
no civilians died.
An Associated Press reporter
who went to the mosque said the
minaret was standing, but dam
aged. apparently by shrapnel. The
bomb blew away part of a wall,
opening an entry for the Marine
assault. The reporter saw at least
three cars leaving, each with a
