A doctor at a hospital in Al-Fallujah, Ahmad Thair, said one man was killed in the attack today.
U.S. and Iraqi government forces are trying to reestablish control over Al-Fallujah, which has been a hotbed of unrest and anti-U.S. sentiment.
In the Shi'a holy city of Al-Najaf, another restive area, some 1,000 protesters marched through the old quarter demanding that radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his supporters leave.
The crowd chanted, "Muqtada, the trash, is a leader of looters."
U.S. and Iraqi troops were also continuing operations against insurgent strongholds at Tal Afar near the border with Syria and Samarra, north of Baghdad.
