BAGHDAD — The top target for al Qaeda in Iraq south of Baghdad was killed July 14 in Arab Jabour by precision-guided munitions, the Excalibur.
Shortly after 12 p.m., 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, received a call that Abu Jurah and 14 anti-Iraqi forces were meeting at a house in Arab Jabour.
Abu Jurah was an AQI cell leader and was responsible for improvised explosive devices, vehicle-borne IED and indirect fire attacks on Coalition Forces in Arab Jabour.
At approximately 1:12 p.m., the house was positively identified allowing 1st Battalion, 9th Field Artillery Regiment to fire two Excalibur rounds destroying the meeting house.
An unmanned aerial vehicle observed persons leaving the house, loading injured individuals into a sedan and fleeing the scene.
An AH-64 Apache helicopter engaged the sedan destroying it.
Three people were observed running from the meeting house to a nearby house.
A U.S. Air Force F16 Fighting Falcon dropped two 500-pound GPS-guided bombs on the second house.
That’s good and it is a great gif for the future too!
GRRRRRREAT!
Music to go with a great bedtime story...

Intel from the locals? And THAT would be good news, too, that the locals are providing intel.
Not a good argument. The government wastes more of our money on a whole lot of other things which are purely useless, pointless, stupid, and unnecessary.
Dunno. He sure as hell wasn’t killed......and sure as hell was released after being captured.
I have no intention of arguing that point; all I try to state is that a bunch of sh*theads can continue fighting the mighties and most trained force in the world because the war costs them very little in men and equipment.
The weaponry is paid for by rogue nations and the personnel is expendable in that they all welcome martyrdom. There will never be a shortage of recruits - during the time that you read this, future terrorists are being born in our country.
All I am saying is that the war against terrorism will last indefinitely as long as there are jihadists. It is not enough to kill terrorists but what is more important is that their ideology be destroyed.
