11/5/2004 - FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFPN) -- U.S. Air Force aircraft launched precision munitions to destroy preplanned targets here Nov. 4.

As part of Multinational Force-Iraq, the Airmen joined coalition partners and U.S. Marines in the offensive.

Shortly after midnight, an Air Force aircraft supported a Marine element and struck a preplanned target with precision weapons. The strike was against known anti-Iraqi fighting barricaded positions in the northeastern part of the city, officials said.

About 30 minutes later, Air Force aircraft also supported a Marine element and destroyed several known barricaded fighting positions. This preplanned mission occurred in the southeast, officials said.

Later in the afternoon, an Air Force aircraft destroyed two fortified buildings in the southeastern part of the city being occupied by armed insurgents. This strike on the preplanned target also supported a Marine element.

That evening, an Air Force aircraft destroyed barricaded fighting positions in the northern part of the city. The strike on the preplanned target supported a Marine element.

Since Nov. 1, multinational forces recovered and destroyed 129 mortars, 42 artillery shells, 38 rocket-propelled grenades, 12 rockets, seven mines, 126 detonators, 350 electronic timers, 16 blasting caps, 14 grenades, three sticks of dynamite, eight AK-47 semi-automatic rifles and more than a thousand rounds of ammunition.
