U.S. Airstrike Kills Four in Iraqi Town of Falluja
Tue Jun 22, 2004 04:25 PM ET

FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - A U.S. airstrike in the Iraqi flash-point town of Falluja killed four people Tuesday night, witnesses and a hospital official said.
The witnesses said the airstrike hit a garage. Iraqi police and U.S. troops sealed off roads leading to the scene of the attack, the witnesses said.

"There was an airstrike that hit a car garage near my home," said witness Muhawmish Hammadi. "A warplane was in the area for 10 minutes and then it fired a rocket at the garage."

Ahmed Ghalib, a doctor at Falluja Hospital, said four people were killed and six wounded in the attack.

A Reuters photographer in the Falluja area said U.S. warplanes could be seen during the day.

A U.S. airstrike on a house in Falluja killed 22 people Saturday. The U.S. military said the building was a safe house for fighters loyal to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who they say is the top al Qaeda operative in Iraq.

Iraqis at the scene of that attack and local security officials said civilians were killed and the house was not linked to Zarqawi.

#7 It's always a missle... never a guided boom.
I wonder tho... maybe this time it was a missle, prehaps a Maverick of some flavor. Which implies a real good target.

#8 We really need some space based weapons. Imagine how much more entertaining it would be to have a giant blue/green beam reach down from the sky to vaporize the Jihadis in their hideouts. Or if lasers are too much trouble, microwave beam weapons. Watching Achmed Camelsniffer explode as he catches some rays might prove mighty demoralizing. Especially since most of these guys have no idea what a microwave is.

#9 Fallujah is starting to take on a distinctly Gazan look. Whatever works, guys. Give'em Hell.
