US forces have carried out another air strike on the rebellious Iraqi city of Falluja, the third in 24 hours.
They bombed a building which they said was being used by insurgents as a weapons store.
The attack is said to have happened as up to 15 suspected militants were moving ammunition and weapons, probably killing most of those present.
Elsewhere, the city of Samarra is now largely under the control of US and Iraqi forces after days of fighting.
The operation there is part of a broader move to wrest control of insurgent strongholds.
The Americans and Iraq's interim government say they are determined to retake rebel-held areas ahead of January's scheduled elections.
