Fallujah: Flash town Fallujah’s residents angry at US forces
But the US military said in a statement, "US forces had no involvement with an explosion, which destroyed a building in a mosque courtyard. US troops in the area responded to the scene after notification from a US aircraft that spotted the explosion. The incident is being investigated by the Fallujah police and coalition forces."
Several witnesses said the mosque had been the target of a US airstrike, as an aircraft was heard overflying the town before the shrine was hit by what they said was a missile.
