FALLUJAH - Seven Iraqi soldiers were killed on Thursday in two separate attacks in the former rebel bastion town of Fallujah in mainly Sunni Al-Anbar province, security officials said.
Iraqi army captain Mohammed Fayad from Fallujah said four soldiers were killed and three wounded when a missile hit their camp northeast of the town.
Police captain Ahmad Faisal said three soldiers were killed in clashes with unknown gunmen in the centre of the town.
A bullet-riddled corpse was also found in Fallujah.
Iraq's Anbar province continues to be a battlefield for security forces, especially US troops. The bulk of US military losses in Iraq have been in the province located west of Baghdad.
