Fallujah Terror Meeting Hit, Car Bombers Target BaghdadAmerican Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 2004 Multinational forces today struck at a terrorist meeting in Fallujah, Iraq, while Baghdad experienced two car bombings. The Fallujah strike was aimed at 10 members of the Abu Musab al Zarqawi terror network who'd gathered near a mosque and school in the central part of the city. No innocent civilians were injured in the attack, nor was damage done to either the mosque or the school. Two car bombings, with one incident reportedly involving a driver and passenger who perished along with their vehicle, occurred today in Baghdad. Pro-Iraqi- government forces fired on a vehicle that was apparently trying to crash through a military checkpoint. The car blew up. Two insurgents in the car were killed in the explosion, while one Iraqi National Guard soldier was wounded. In another part of Baghdad, a car bomb went off near Iraqi police units. The number of Iraqi civilians killed or wounded were unknown. There were no U.S. casualties. Both incidents are under investigation.

Good hunting..
God bless our armed forces and all who wait for them at home.
BUMP!!
Well if you are standing near a group of terrorists you are not an innocent civilian. lol
Can't say that I see the humor in your comment.
And your point in making your comment is?
Ummm, that I can't find any humor in your comment. Sorry I was so indirect before. I'll try harder next time to come out of my shell.
We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
You don't need to be sorry. And if you can't find any humor in my comment is fine. I don't care how you feel or think about something I write one way or the other, or if you even get my point.
But my point was if they standing close enough to the terrorists than they weren't innocent bystanders.
But why take the time and attempt to shame me about my comment because you didn't see the humor?
Which is a rather absurd generalization in and of itself. Then to add mockery to it, just makes me wonder about your sense of humor.
These terrorists often have children with them. They are innocent bystanders.
hte people in the Twin Towers had children at home. And there were day care centers in the Towers, I guess that isn't the same.
If they are so stupid to have their children with them when they know what may happen, there is nothing I can do about that.
As I stated, I don't care how you feel or think about my sense of humor or if it makes makes you do anything or think anything. And why you feel a need to act as if you are on higher moral ground.
The terrorists are killing children in Russia, where is your wonder about that?
You must be a liberal who has been lurking here for some time in hopes of finding newbie's to attack so you can get a feeling of being someone important.
As I said, I don't care what you think about what I wrote.
Waste 'em!!! Waste the terrorists. They kill more Muslims than Americans. Blot them out in a hail of lead.
What do I think about the children killed in Russia? I think they were innocent victims. What a concept. You ought to try it.
Why you would take the time to write back to me about something so unimportant as my statement.
I am not concerned about the children of the terrorists if they are not concerned about them.
My statement did not take into account that they may have their children with them, but if they do I for one don't care. It is sad that they put their own children in harms way, and yes the children are innocent, but my point was not directed at the children.
Get a life.
We in Iraq accepted the sacrifices needed to remove Saddam, in Afghanistan we didnt see any real demonstrations protesting against the American Army for the accidental death of civilians when targeting Taliban fighters and the same applies for Iraq lately. Isnt it amazing that many people in the west and some Americans blame the American army and administration for the life losses and mess in Najaf, while Najafies are strongly blaming Sadr in their latest demonstration without a word to condemn the American army!? Arent people, even seemingly simple people, smarter than what some media elite thinkers and reporters want us to believe!? Its also worth mentioning that the news I heard from inside Fallujah confirm that the bombarded targets we hear about in the news every now and then did belong to Zarqawi followers and those targets were identified and chosen according to reports from the Fallujans most of the times.
This does not, by any means, mean that the military power should be set free without any monitoring or questioning, but we simply should not overestimate the danger because well be underestimating the peoples lust for freedom and how much they are ready to give to have it, and this will be an insult to them. Ive always felt insulted by the anti-war and human shields who came to Iraq before the war telling me that they were here to protect me! That was very insulting to my intelligence, my dignity and humanity. Protect me from what? Freedom and having a dignified and honorable life?! I think there is no other choice but to confront them and this is the choice they want to impose on the government, so this is going to be a tough challenge but unfortunately, theres no other way.

Thanks for the information. It is good to see that the people in Iraq get it when some here at home don't.
