| U.S. Strikes Zarqawi Network, Killing 16 |
| 2004-09-25 |
| U.S. warplanes, tanks and artillery repeatedly hit at Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terror network in the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah on Saturday, while two British Muslim leaders came to Baghdad to try to convince his followers to release a British hostage. The strikes in Fallujah targeted two buildings where militants were allegedly meeting and a cluster of rebel-built fortifications used to mount attacks on nearby Marine positions, the U.S. military said. Doctors said 16 people were killed and 37 wounded. |

| #5 I noticed the black shirt he was wearing compared to all the others in the picture. Don't I remember something about a bunch of Iranians attacking the Marines up north and they were all dressed in black? |

| #4 "The beheading of the two Americans was our first signal that we will continue and will not be deterred," said the statement, which was posted on a Web site known for carrying communiques from Islamic militants They don't get it we are not trying to "deter" them we are going to kill them. You note the "victim" in the photo has no mustache, look at pictures of Iraqi men they all have mustaches. He is a forigner I bet. |
