The group is led by Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, the second most-wanted terrorist on the U.S. list after Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden. "Iraqi citizens reported that approximately 50 terrorists were in the building at the time of the airstrike" which occurred at 4:40 p.m., the statement said. The "known terrorist safe house" was destroyed by Marine F-18D Hornets using a combination of precision-guided bombs and rockets, it said. There were no immediate reports of the number of casualties inflicted by the attack.</p>
