Hilla, Mar 26, (VOI)- More than 60 gunmen were killed on Wednesday evening as U.S. choppers fired rockets against buildings used by gunmen in central Hilla, 100 km south of Baghdad, Iraqi security source said.
"U.S. copters bombed sites used by gunmen in Hilla's neighborhoods of al-Askari, Ahmed Nader and Muhaizem, killing more than 60 militants and destroying some houses," the source, who requested anonymity, told Aswat al-Iraq- Voices of Iraq- (VOI).
From his part, Abdellatif Rayan, an MNF-Iraq media adviser told VOI that the operation was carried out as Iraqi forces requested an air support while clashing with gunmen in central Hilla.
Hilla, capital city of Babel, has been a scene of clashes that erupted between security forces and fighters of the Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's militia.
Fire up the “wedding party” condemnation.

60 more ‘good’ dirtbags.
We need to do this to Mookies boys!
If there were no liberal hatred for America,such victories would be reported and honestly commented on widely by the global MSM and thus would discourage others from becoming ignorant terrorist targets for US munitions.
The left and their media are in an ideological war of attrition with America and the Islamists currently provide the lambs to the slaughter.
This is not only evil and cruel,but stupid and self-defeating.America has a never-ending love affair with overwhelming firepower and,at least while it is being used,a never-ending hatred for liberals.
Sounds like just another day of A-10s shooting tanks on a dusty road going to Baghdad.
Interesting that in this story and a thread above the enemy is now called ‘gunmen’. What happened to insurgents?

I thought “Mookies boyz” were in Sadr city, which is in Baghdad. Dese boyz be 100 klicks south of there.
Let Allah sort them out.
We (still) need to do this to Mookie...

Sadr city is Mookie’s gulag.
I believe his center of operations is Basra/Nasariyah.
