U.S. strike kills 11 at wedding in Iraq's Falluja FALLUJA, Iraq, Oct 8 (Reuters) - A U.S. air strike on the rebel-held city of Falluja in western Iraq killed 11 people and wounded 17 at a wedding party, with women and children among the casualties, a hospital doctor said on Friday.
Of course the military says we got some "bad guys".
The U.S. military said the "precision strike" had hit a safe-house being used by the network of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi at 1:15 a.m. on Friday.
"Credible intelligence sources confirmed Zarqawi leaders were meeting at the safe-house at the time of the strike," an unusually detailed statement said.
Of course the history of the last few years has shown us that it is doubtful they know what a "credible intelligence source" is. They reality is that nearly everyone in Falluja is a rebel and an enemy of the U.S. and the Allawi "government". How long will it be before they simply level all the Falluja because it was necessary to
"destroy it to bring it freedom"?
