Iraqis call for holy war against U.S. after fatal explosion at Mosque.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Tom Lasseter and Natalie Pompilio
FALLUJAH, Iraq _ An explosion late Monday in a mosque compound in Fallujah that killed 10 Iraqis, including the mosque's spiritual leader, has enraged the city's residents and prompted calls for a holy war against the United States.
People in Fallujah said Tuesday that American forces launched a missile into the mosque, a charge the U.S. military denied.
While Fallujah, about an hour west of Baghdad, has been a hot spot of fighting between residents and U.S. troops for months, the anti-American rhetoric and threats of violent response are reaching a new peak, with calls for Islamic jihad, or holy war.
Elsewhere in Iraq, violence continued. In Baghdad, two rocket-propelled grenade attacks on American troops in Humvee patrols injured a total of six soldiers and killed one Iraqi interpreter.
