FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IED SAFE HAVEN DESTROYED
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces destroyed a house in Baghdad August 6 after confirmation that the structure was being used by terrorists as a storage site for improvised explosive devices.
A detainee, captured earlier this week, provided credible information that the house was purchased as a safe haven for terrorists as well as for storage of weapons and explosives. Coalition Forces discovered that the house contained timing devices, detonation systems and improvised explosive devices.
Before conducting the operation, Coalition Forces cleared all civilians and temporarily moved personal property to a safe distance as a precautionary measure. Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) technicians then destroyed the house. Several secondary explosions resulted.
“Those who recruit, encourage and send suicide bombers on their missions have no interest in improving the lives of the Iraqi people,” said Col. Bill Buckner, spokesperson for the Multi-National Corps-Iraq. “Their only interest is to instill fear among the population and to create unrest as the country works towards self-government.”
In a related operation prior to the destruction of the house, EOD troops destroyed a vehicle after discovering it was rigged for use as a suicide bomb. Coalition forces inspected the vehicle and realized that the trigger could only be activated by the driver while inside the car.
One terrorist was detained at the location of the car bomb. His name is being withheld for operational security.
No civilians were harmed in either operation.

The panties worked again, I see.
They showed the detainee a pic of Hillary.
He cracked and gouged out his own eyes.
yes
Too bad they didn't put the terrorist in the house before detonation.
America is still playing by rules that pussyfoot around the problem.
they should have blown up everything and everyone,whats with moving people and property to a safe distance?blow it all in place!!!!!!!!!
Or maybe it was the Christina Aguilera records.
Blowing up stuff ~ Bump!
Unngh!
I'd box my own ears deaf if someone questioned me with her playing in the background.
THAT would have been fireworks.
(I'd have stuck a bunch of bacon on the hoof in there as well.. but I am evil.)
Now, I'm no terrorist sympathyzer, I think that they ought to be strapped in their IED vehicles and blown up, but man, you are getting to the point where I can't support you any more. Buddy, you have crossed the line from just punishment to sadism ;^)
I like it, one MOAB and screw what other countries say. We can say that's just payback for the hostages. Now on to the next payback...
They had footage on F&F this morning of a Predator watching a mortar team of three terrorists firing mortars, then tracking them to a house, then blowing the house. I was really surprised to see that going out on the open cable. It was a really cool video.
It looks like this offensive is making some progress. I do like seeing this... it doesn't make the losses hurt any less, but it makes it easier to maintain full support for the war effort when we have some picture of how we're taking the fight to the enemy.
LOL!
Well, at least they weren't strapped into the vIED vehicle with the bomb, and two stereos.
One playing Christina Aquilera, speakers at max distortion, and one playing selected quotes from Hillary with her pic taped to the front of the stereo.
But even I have limits on what I'd put someone through.
*shuddering*
The Libs will be sadden by this news
We're saving our ultimate torture for Bin Ladin...that picture of Helen Thomas. He'll be begging for mercy.
Playing good-cop/bad-cop with the dueling stereos (remember, while Hitlery quotes is considered cruel and unusual punishment here, they'd welkcome them over there)?
