FALLUJAH, Iraq -- An estimated four insurgents were killed by aviation fire after precision munitions were employed to destroy a bongo truck used to transport improvised explosive devices Friday south of Fallujah.

Marines assigned to Regimental Combat Team 5 observed insurgents excavating IED-making material from the side of a road and loading it into a bongo truck. The truck then proceeded to another location where the insurgents began emplacing the IEDs.

The Marines established positive identification of the insurgents, ensured no civilians were in the vicinity and destroyed the truck with precision munitions. The insurgents were killed by direct fire.

Approximately 20 minutes later, secondary explosions from the vehicle were observed.

There were no reports of civilian casualties and no Coalition casualties.

A lot of people care. There's a good chance those IEDs could have killed U.S. forces.

"Insurgents killed attempting to emplace IEDs"

I'm sorry, but didn't they mean "Terrorists" instead of Insurgents. Isn't that what these pieces of human debris are . . . Terrorists. What's with the term "Insurgents"? Why do we tippytoe around these murderers?
