Large Explosions Rock Fallujah in Iraq
Associated Press ^ | 6/22/04

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Large explosions rocked Fallujah late Tuesday in the same area as a U.S. airstrike last weekend, witnesses said. The Americans said the weekend attack was against a safehouse of Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's movement.

Ambulances raced to the area after the 10:30 p.m. blasts. Wounded and dead were being evacuated, said Col. Mekky Zeidan.

The attack came only days after a strike Saturday that leveled a building U.S. officials said was a suspected safehouse for al-Zarqawi's network.

Al-Zarqawi, a militant thought to have ties to al-Qaida, has been blamed for a string of car bombs across Iraq, including a blast last week that killed 35 people and wounded 145 at an Iraqi military recruiting center in Baghdad.

His Monotheism and Jihad movement carried through its threat to behead South Korean hostage Kim Sun-il after South Korea refused to withdraw its troops from Iraq.

Looks like the strategy of getting solid leads before attacking continues. Much more effective than house-to-house.

Loftus said last night this might happen, that we might be closing the loop on Zarqawi.

I hope this explosion is from our side, and I hope the bombs rain on Fallujah for a thousand days. Make it thousands of Daisycutters for a thousand days.

Good explosion or bad?
