Bomb Making ***Class*** Caused Iraq Mosque Blast -US Military

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.

That's nice - they already have a sort of "community college" set up to help people find jobs.

The Bosnian muslims and the Albanian muslims used mosques as firing towers and places to hide troops and weapons (plus explosives).

Sounds like the religion of peace ISN'T!!

And, to think... klintoon supported both of those basturd groups.

And, h he only shot up osama's camel in Afganistan.... never fought the muslims at all.

Wondering why, how about you???
