WASHINGTON - A Raytheon Co. satellite-guided artillery shell, the first weapon of its kind, killed a top al- Qaeda leader in Iraq, the U.S. military said. The firing of two new 155mm “Excalibur” shells was part of a combined Army and Air Force assault July 14 on a meeting house in Arab Jabour south of Baghdad directed against the leader, Abu Jurah, and 14 associates, U.S. forces said today.

Interesting... I read a technothriller about 3 months ago where just such an artillery shell was featured, described, and used in the plot. The name of this "smart artillery shell" was, oddly enough, "Excalibur"...
