Falluja raid 'hits wedding party'
At least 12 people have been killed and 17 others wounded in a US air strike on the rebel-held city of Falluja in Iraq.
Friday morning's raid on the house in north-west Falluja happened shortly after 0100 local time (2200 GMT).
Reuters news agency reported rescuers clawing through the rubble with their bare hands, chanting "There is no God but God" as the body of a man was pulled out.
Doctors at the main city hospital said a father and his seven sons, as well as other wedding guests, were among the dead.
Thursday is traditionally the day for holding weddings in Iraq, says the BBC's Karen Allen in Baghdad.

The BBC's Jennifer Glasse, with US marines outside Falluja, says Iraqi special forces are being trained to accompany the US in an anticipated ground offensive into the city.
