NEAR FALLUJAH, Nov. 18 -- U.S. soldiers discovered a house in southern Fallujah on Thursday believed to be a main headquarters for Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab Zarqawi, the leader of an insurgent network responsible for bombings, kidnappings and beheadings across Iraq.
The soldiers found letters reportedly written by Zarqawi to his lieutenants, medical supplies from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the International Red Cross and boxes of ammunition from the Chinese and Jordanian armies.
The house, a simple cement structure, was on a block that Army Maj. David Johnson described as a "one-stop-shop for terrorists."
"That part of town is the most dangerous place on earth," said Johnson, a historian attached to 1st Infantry Divison's Task Force 2-2, which conducted the raid.
U.S. military officials have said they do not know where Zarqawi is or whether he remained in the city when American and Iraqi ground forces swept in the night of Nov. 8.

Very. And I'll bet the ammo from the Chinese and Jordanian armies was not received indirectly.
"rambo" knive
should be knife..........
The mental picture of a Marine doing the deed in full-on hand to hand got my blood up!
Cheers,
It wouldn't suprise me!
"We found 'em alive on Tuesday!"
"I hope the marine who captures this pos has a big ol rambo knife on him. If he's quick enough it would be all over before anyone could react. I would be proud to stand guilty before a war crime tribunal.
Along with your "wish", might I add mine, that in the "aftermath" of the marine's deed, that the headless bodies of a "certain" free-lance reporter and his cameraman, would also be found, who had perrished minutes before the marine did his job.

Tighten that noose!!!
And people in this country don't understand why it is so important to knock the dictatorships and terrorists in these countries down one by one. (and sounded like this morning Powell's statement is intended to prepare people for action in Iran)
First Afganistan, then Iraq. Bless our brave troops for going into this viper's den of terrorists from all over the world.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
In warehouse buildings not far from the house, soldiers found a classroom with drawings of U.S. F-16 and F-18 fighter planes, a repair shop for anti-tank rounds and a factory for making car bombs that had a Ford Explorer inside with Texas license plates. A garage with a roll-up door had been turned into a make-shift mosque.
The people of Iran are remarkably pro American.
"What in the world would explain that???"
Zarqawi needs it for his trips to an Austin Kinkos so Dan can get the 'real' important news.
Dan Rather is missing an SUV?
bttt
Yes, I'm aware of that. I know they want help. The nukes seem to be the problem.
My question:
WHAT'S THE PLATE NUMBER?????
They're probably tracking it down. I hope....
Yeah, I bet someone's house is getting raided today.
It's rather likely those plates were issued in Travis County, TX.
HF
Yeah, I bet someone's house, in Texas, is getting raided today.
