| EFL: A U.S. aircraft fired six missiles into a farm north of Fallujah on Tuesday, killing three men and wounding three others. The U.S. military said its forces were pursuing guerrillas who attacked soldiers and that it knew of only one person killed. Two young boys were among the wounded in the attack, and their father and two neighbors were killed, witnesses and neighbors said. No kittens or baby ducks? U.S. Spec. Nicole Thompson said soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division were attacked and the assailants ran into a building in the village of al-Sajr, 9 miles north of Fallujah. American ground troops called in air support and one guerrilla fighter was killed, she said. Fallujah is one of the most dangerous cities in the so-called ``Sunni Triangle,’’ the region north and west of Baghdad where support for Saddam Hussein runs strongest and where U.S. troops have met stiffest resistance. Place needs some serious urban renewal, Gen. Sherman style. At the Fallujah hospital, Abed Rasheed, 50, one of the wounded, said he was sleeping with his family on the roof of his house when he heard small arms fire. He ran downstairs just as the American aircraft raced overhead, firing what he believed were rockets. He was hospitalized with wounds in the chest and left foot. ``There never was any trouble in our village and the Americans have never been inside it,’’ said Rasheed, a Three years wide? That’s right, it’s the al-Guardian.
Note that they are all army age, assuming they are dead, or even exist. Also Monday, the U.S. military denied its soldiers fired on a wedding party in Fallujah Sept. 17, killing a 14-year-old boy and wounding six others. Witnesses to the alleged incident said the soldiers opened fire, apparently believing they were under attack when guests at the wedding fired their guns in celebration. ``There was no (U.S. military) unit where this supposedly occurred,’’ military spokesman Lt. Col. George Krivo said. If somebody in Fallujah said the sun came up this morning, I’d go outside to check. | |
