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.
Let's Roll
Fox news just reported they will have a pentagon report by Brett Baer shortly.
Looks like the strategy of getting solid leads before attacking continues. Much more effective than house-to-house.
Our President told them."You Can Run But You Cannot Hide".
Loftus said last night this might happen, that we might be closing the loop on Zarqawi.
Must be more women and children exploding.
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.
not large enough, until Faluja is obliterated.
South Central Fallujah strike on another safe house with precision weapons !
Time to get as many of these cultists/terrorists as possible, as quickly as possible.
FoxNews reporting these were caused by air strikes!
More! More! Wipe the cockroaches out!!!!
bttt!
Good explosion or bad?
I hope it was good and we leveled another terrorist house or two.
mc
Glass 'em.
Another safe house.
Great news! :)
Makes me feel warm and fuzzy
**closing the loop on Zarqawi**
Let's hope so!
Definitely a wedding.
