Car Bomb Near Fallujah Kills 7 Marines

By JIM KRANE, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A massive car bomb exploded Monday on the outskirts of Fallujah, killing seven U.S. Marines and wounding several others, a U.S. military official said, in the deadliest attack on Americans since May.

The attack nine miles north of Fallujah _ a stronghold for Sunni insurgents _ destroyed two Humvees, witnesses said. Medical teams in helicopters swept into the dusty, barren site to ferry away the injured, and troops sealed off the surrounding area.
