The US military says seven people, including three women, have been killed in an air strike in Iraq.
The US said it was targetting insurgents in the village of al-Dawr, near Tikrit north of Baghdad, where Saddam Hussein was captured in 2003.
Witnesses are quoted as saying the attack happened after US troops had surrounded a compound in the village.
The village is home of a former leader of the Baath party, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who is still a fugitive.
