There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military.
Al-Fallujah was the scene of a monthlong insurrection this year that killed 10 U.S. soldiers and many more Iraqis. The U.S. agreed to withdraw in April and handed control over to a local Iraqi unit.
In the south, a Portuguese national and two Iraqis working for Iraq's oil company were killed by a roadside bomb near the city of Al-Basrah. The blast appeared aimed at disrupting Iraq's oil industry.
Near the town of Baqabu, north of Baghdad, fighting was reportedly continuing between the U.S. military and Iraqi insurgents.
In Baghdad, attackers today fired three mortar shells, injuring one policeman and two civilians.
