FALLUJAH, Iraq - Three Iraqis were killed and two US troops wounded in the restive town of Fallujah overnight when the soldiers came under attack, residents and military officials said Wednesday.

"The bodies of three people were brought into our establishment and three others with injuries were admitted," said Muthanna Khodair, a doctor at the main hospital in Fallujah, 50 kilometres (35 miles) west of Baghdad.

According to a US military spokesman, two coalition soldiers were also wounded and a vehicle destroyed when roadside bombs and small arms fire hit the troops in an ambush at about 1:30 am (2230 GMT).

"The wounded were medically evacuated by air," he said. The spokesman was unable to say whether any attackers had been hurt or arrested.

A coalition vehicle was also reported to have been destroyed.
