FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers have killed at least four Iraqi civilians in the centre of the Iraqi town of Falluja, when they opened fire after coming under rocket attack, witnesses say.

They said the troops were patrolling the town west of Baghdad on Tuesday after a noisy anti-U.S. protest when two rockets were fired at them. An elderly woman in a nearby house and three men in a car were killed when the soldiers returned fire, the witnesses said.
