Coalition forces destroyed a terrorist safe house Oct. 18 in Karabilah where two al Qaeda in Iraq terror cells were attempting to meet and reorganize following successful Coalition operations.
At 11:21 p.m., Coalition air forces delivered precision-guided munitions that destroyed the terrorist safe house. The type of munitions used and the timing of the air strike mitigated the risk to civilians in the local area.
Multiple intelligence sources identified the terrorist safe house, which was used as both an operational base and safe haven.

I hope the place was full, when we hit it.

This story can't possibly be true. My friends on the Left insist that there are no Al Quada operatives in Iraq. Bush is just there for the Oil.
I'm sure this is a military oversight.

Those concrete bombs are a 8itch, kills the targets and doesn't harm the house next door.

Being an Al Quada member is defiantly becoming a health risk.

I can assure you this one had a little more than concrete in it.

Precision guided concrete munitions are in rather common usage for avoiding collateral damage.

Yes, I know, I've dropped them (GBU-12 with cement instead of the good stuff poured into the MK-82 bomb body) and I am familiar with when and where they are using them. But I saw the videos of this particular strike, and I can assure you, they were not filled with concrete.

Congrats to our guys for the Roach Motel. Better they are killed in Iraq, than in a US city.

Not many insurgent attacks recently (Iraq, Afghanistan)...
...not any word from Bin Ladin or Zarqawi, either.
Hmmm...

Find the bodies and burn them. Then kill more and burn em again.
