U.S forces dropped two tons (two tonnes) of bombs on a purported militant safehouse in Fallujah, 48 kilometres (30 miles) west of Baghdad, killing at least 10 people, according to officials, and turning the building into a 30-foot (9-metre) deep pit of sand and rubble. The attack was the fifth airstrike in the past two weeks in the area where the U.S. military says Zarqawi's network has safehouses. Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi issued an unprecedented statement saying his government provided intelligence to the U.S. military for the strike. The interim government has been trying to figure out how to deal with the rebels, and the air strike came just hours after it postponed an announcement of new security laws to deal with them. In a separate incident in Baghdad, a blast went off at 0600am (0200gmt) in Al-Shurta street in southern Baghdad. No casualties were reported.
