WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is looking into a report that U.S. missiles hit a mosque in the restive Iraqi city of Falluja, killing about 40 people, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.

"We've seen those reports and are looking into it," a senior Bush administration official said of The Associated Press report, which quoted witnesses in the city.

At the Pentagon, defense officials said they had received no report on such an attack. But one of the officials, who asked not to be identified, said insurgents in Falluja had used mosques in the area to fire on U.S.-led troops and that the troops had at times returned the fire.

I hope we simply say it is unfortunate that mosques are used to hide in and attack our troops and we regret that we had to bomb it to kill the attackers.Is that PC enough?
