The attack came from a jet aircraft at a high angle to minimize the impact, the officer said.
Fox news is reporting that the attack was accomplished with a rocket from a helicopter. Who is right?

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) U.S. forces battling Sunni insurgents in this violent city apparently hit a mosque filled with people Wednesday, and witnesses said as many as 40 people were killed.
It was unclear what hit the mosque. Until that incident, reports showed at least 30 Americans and more than 150 Iraqis were dead in the fighting for the city.
Anti-American violence intensified and spread to cities in northern Iraq on Wednesday as a U.S. helicopter went down and a Marine commander confirmed 12 of his men had been killed in fighting west of Baghdad.

Who cares how it was done. Let the rats know they have no place to hide anymore.

The officer, obviously. The reporters just also saw helos supporting Marines on the ground during other parts of the fight, probably, and jumped to a conclusion about where the shot came from.
