US forces have defended their overnight bombardment of insurgent positions in the rebellious Iraqi city of Falluja.
In one of their most intensive uses of firepower, artillery barrages were accompanied by the deployment of a heavily armed AC-130 gunship.

There is no word yet on casualties in the city.

Commanders of US marines besieging the predominantly Sunni Muslim city said the assault was in response to several breaches of the local ceasefire.

In a statement, they said the fighting began with an insurgent attack on marine positions.
