Another Two Airstrikes in Fallujah: "
From The Australian :
Nine people were killed in two pre-dawn raids by United States planes on suspected rebel targets in Fallujah, west of the capital of Baghdad today, according to a local hospital."Doctor Adel Khamis of Fallujah general hospital said the second of the two strikes killed nine people, three of them women and two children.
He said 14 people were wounded in the strike, while no casualties were reported in the first raid.
Death tolls provided by one side or the other cannot be verified independently.
A military statement said US forces â??conducted a precision strike against a building where approximately 25 anti-Iraqi forces network members were moving weapons on the outskirts of Fallujahâ??.
In a second raid, â??multinational Force-Iraq once again struck members of the Abu Musab al-Zarqawi terrorist network operating in central Fallujahâ??, the military said.
â??In the last month, multinational Forces have successfully conducted ten offensive strikes on the Abu Musab al-Zarqawi terrorist network. Each action removed foreign fighters from the streets of Fallujah and strengthens the safety of Iraq,â?? the US statement said.
A senior US military source claimed last week that more than 100 Zarqawi operatives had been killed in recent weeks in strikes on Fallujah, a no-go zone for ground troops.
