Falluja - An Iraqi gunman was killed and a United States soldier was wounded in an exchange of fire during riots in a restive town west of Baghdad, US military sources said on Tuesday.

Witnesses said hundreds of residents protesting the arrest of Saddam Hussein rioted in the town of Falluja on Monday night, overrunning the office of the US-appointed mayor.

Military sources said that during the mêlée, gunmen fired at US forces in the city, wounding one soldier. Soldiers returned fire, killing one gunman and wounding two.

Saddam was captured on Saturday.
