BAGHDAD, July 18 (KUNA) -- US fighter jets launched on Monday air attacks on locations suspected of being hideouts of insurgents in Rawa village, western Iraq.
Both Iraqi and US forces took part in the un-named mission, launched early on Monday.
Eyewitnesses said the US military launched a wide-scale operation in a number of locations in Rawa village, in Al-Anbar constituency.
In another development, Iraqi security forces found a large weapon hideout in Mosul, north of Iraq, an Iraqi official said.
The hideout included a large quantity of missiles, communication devices, military uniforms, knives and swords, the official added.

I hope to see more of this.
As the Iraqi population starts to turn on the terrorists they have to move out of the cities. Once out in the boonies all it takes is a well aimed air strike to send a lot of misguided souls to meet Allah in person.

Just as an aside, why do media always specify that it was fighter "jets"?
Does the USAF, USN, or Marine air field propellor-driven fighters?
Why not just "aircraft"?

Why not just "aircraft"? "Jets" to distinguish them from the vehicles operated by anti-gravity drive ... They're all based at Area 51, but can instantaneously transport themselves anywhere with a clear view of the southern sky.
You heard it first on FR!!!
What are those men in black suits getting out of the big black Lincoln doing ?????
.... no carrier ....
To: jusduat
j,
Ah, forgot about those.
So..do you suppose they use "fighter jets" to convey that Spectres weren't in the fight?
Me either!
