BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Insurgents attacked a U.S. military patrol west of Baghdad early Wednesday and an ensuing fight left three civilians dead and two U.S. soldiers injured, the U.S. military and Iraqi hospital officials said.

Associated Press Television News footage of the aftermath of the fighting in the town of Fallujah, 32 miles west of Baghdad, showed two civilian cars burned, blood stains on the ground and bullet holes in walls, as well as two wounded Iraqis being taken into a hospital.

''American troops came under attack while they were patrolling in the main street,'' Fallujah resident Ahmed Ali said.

The U.S. military said two ''coalition personnel'' were injured. The pair were airlifted from Fallujah to a combat hospital after ambushers detonated a roadside bomb and raked their vehicle with gunfire, a U.S. official said.
