Reports from Iraq say U.S. forces have hit part of a holy Shiite shrine in Najaf where rebels have been locked in a two-week standoff with U.S.-led forces.
Ah, the unattributed report from Iraq. And the assumption that the fire was from US forces, known to spray fire randomly in all directions. It's something everybody knows, but Lloyd leaves no doubt unchurned
Yep, them AC-130's are hard to control, why e'ryone knows that.
The report, carried by the Reuters news agency, was from a senior commander of Shiite militants who said the wall of the Imam Ali Shrine was hit by U.S. fire on Sunday night.
Ah, Rooters. And now it's a Senior Commander of Shi'ite militants. Okay, everyone, pull out your handy-dandy Shi'ite militant Chain of Command...
Sheikh Ahmed al-Sheibani, who is also a top adviser to radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, said it was hit during fighting.
Second sourcing, I'm sold!
