U.S. jets attacked a house in the turbulent city of Fallujah on Monday, witnesses and police said. As many as 15 people were killed in the blast, an Arab television station reported.
Ambulances headed to the eastern side of the city, where U.S. airstrikes have frequently targeted safehouses used by members of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's network.

So say all of us. The residents say they aren't. In fact, I can't imagine that they would be. Even if they had been at one time, with all the U.S. airstrikes, it's much too unsafe in Falluja to have a safe house in that city.
The most likely story is that Falluja has become the city of punishment for its defiance - it never accepted the American "liberation" - and our inability to make the Fallujans bend to our will. And because they have embarassed us time and again in repelling our attempts to take the city.
