BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military said Wednesday a deadly explosion in a mosque that enraged the Iraqi town of Falluja was triggered by a bomb-making class inside the building.
"The explosion was apparently related to a bomb manufacturing class that was being taught inside the mosque," the U.S. Central Command said in a statement. Falluja residents had accused U.S. forces of attacking the mosque late Monday.
Residents said the blast killed nine people, including the mosque's imam, or prayer leader.
They had blamed it on an American air strike -- an accusation U.S. military officials flatly denied.
Two rocket-propelled grenades were fired at U.S. military vehicles in the town Tuesday night. The U.S. military in Falluja said nobody was hurt.

They are horrified if infidels defile the mosques...It's OK to store arms in and fight from a mosque if your're Islamic,it seems.The Rule is..infidels can't fire back!

I've wondered that for many years. It was giving our enemy the rope to hang us with......

Hey Squantos,
Sounds like a possibility for a class you could teach. Explosives 101, 08:30-09:30 M,W,F Instructor: "The Panhandle Kid". Stay Safe Bro.

Does anyone not see the 500 lb gorilla in this story. If they are storing and making WD in mosques (and hospitals, preschools, and private homes), which the U.S. does NOT search, then why would not the (Sunni) mosques be a logical place for Saddam to hide WMD or his own sorry a$$.
Until we check the mosques and many, many private homes, tell WMD-whiners to SHUT-UP.

BOOM!

Let me guess - an unqualified student, who gained admission to the Bomb-making school through an aggressive affirmative action program, screwed up on the lab portion of the class.

We need to send some infiltrators over to Iraq, and sell them a lot of defective detonators.

But if we gave them the bombs we'd have to deliver it somehow, and delivery out there is best made by aircraft.
And teh best method of delivery is to drop the parcel.
Unfortunately, dropped bombs usually explode.
So we have a huge market and no way to utilize it.

That's what I believe too. The WMD's are not going to be at industrial sites or government buildings. It's probably in the mosques, schools, and underground. It's entirely in keeping on how they waged the war.
To: Trace21230
As an afterthought, at least I'm not dancing in the streets of Baltimore, as would probably happen in Syria/Iran/Jordan/etc. if 9 Americans were killed.
