FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier and two civilians were killed after an American patrol was attacked in the flashpoint Iraqi town of Falluja Monday, the U.S. military and witnesses said.

A U.S. military spokeswoman said a roadside bomb exploded as the patrol was driving past. Attackers then fired assault rifles at the Americans, who returned fire.

Witnesses said two civilians were killed and five wounded, including a woman and a child, in the crossfire.

The casualties included a Syrian national who was killed and another who was wounded. Several civilian vehicles, including a truck with Syrian number plates, were hit in the shootout.
