Special Groups Attacked in Sadr City

And no doubt we will soon hear of the carnage in the baby duck and fluffy bunny community.
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces conducted a precision airstrike in Sadr City against a known Iranian-sponsored senior Special Groups leader at 2:17 p.m. today.

Acting on intelligence information, Coalition forces targeted a known Special Groups leader responsible for criminal acts against Iraqi citizens and Coalition forces.

“Coalition forces will continue to seek out suspected criminals such as this individual who threaten the security of Iraqi citizens and who undermine the sovereignty of Iraq,” said Cmdr. Scott Rye, MNF-I spokesman.
