Iraq-Jordan
U.S. Guns for al-Zarqawi in Fallujah
2004-07-01
The U.S. military launched another airstrike early Thursday against a suspected hideout of terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Fallujah. It was the fourth attack in a month against insurgency targets in the city. The raid came hours after rebels fired mortar rounds at a U.S. base on the outskirts of Baghdad's airport, wounding 11 soldiers and starting a fire that burned for over an hour. That attack, along with a car bomb that exploded outside a police headquarters in Samawah, 150 miles south of the capital, added to the evidence that insurgents have no plans of letting up attacks - even after U.S. coalition authorities handed over sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government on Monday.

Fallujah residents contacted by telephone said U.S. jets fired missiles at a house on the eastern side of the city. Dr. Loai Ali of the Fallujah General Hospital said four people were killed and 10 injured. Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, deputy operations director for the multinational force, said the attack was launched after "multiple confirmations of Iraqi and multinational intelligence. This operation employed precision weapons to attack the safe house and underscores the resolve of multinational and Iraqi security forces to jointly destroy terrorist networks within Iraq." Kimmitt did not mention casualties or provide other details in his statement.
Sooner or later we get lucky. No, not OUR Lucky.
I haven't seen any claims that all the victims were women and children and fluffy bunnies this time. Jihadi propaganda office falling down on the job? Or did they hit the jihadi propaganda office?
