Fallujah News

Probably won't make the Big Media, but a decent little story. A shame about the murdered policeman though (probably). Nobody to interrogate, but also nobody to get released in a few days either.

COALITION FORCES KILL ASSASSINATION TEAM

CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq- An Al Qaeda assassination team was killed by Coalition Forces in Fallujah Tuesday.

Coalition snipers heard gunshots and quickly responded to the murder of an off-duty Fallujah policeman by gunmen in civilian clothes. The Marines from 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 5 immediately engaged the armed gunmen and killed two of them.

The third gunman was killed as he attempted to flee in a vehicle.

“We honor the service of the Fallujah policeman Hamed Mohammed Jassim,” said Coalition spokesperson Marine Lt. Col. Bryan Salas. “He stood against the murder and intimidation campaign of the terrorists to help bring security and prosperity to his neighbors in Fallujah. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.”

Assault rifles and other items were recovered from the gunmen.

#2  It's amazing how professional, not to mention brave, are those uneducated, not-so-smart guys who didn't do their homework (according to Horseface John FN Kerry) are in situations that would cause most of "smarty-pants" to pee in our pants.

John Kerry ... what a horse's ass!
