The U.S. military says it carried out an airstrike in the city of Al-Fallujah today targeting suspected militants linked to alleged Al-Qaeda operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. A statement said the attack targeted 10 to 12 militants and was conducted in coordination with the Iraqi authorities. The U.S. military reported no casualties.

#2 I haven't heard whether the local non terrorist population is giving the US intel in Sammara or Ramadi. I have heard that this is happening in Fallujah. |

#1 long article in the WaPo the other day, indicating an imminent coalition attack on Sammara, where the town is more or less controlled by 100 to 300 insurgents, a mix of ex Spec Rep Guards, a local tribe that we've alienated, foreigners, etc. The different factions are not getting along, and are alienating the locals, who are fleeing - though WaPo says theyre fleeing in anticipation of the attack. Apparently the attempt is to do this jointly 1st ID and Iraqi forces, trying to make sure we've got good and reliable Iraqi forces this time - so time is being spent on preparation. Looks like this will be first big attack for Iraqi forces outside Baghdad (meanwhile of course USMC is apparently fighting hard in Ramadi) |
