U.S. Forces Kill 20 Insurgents in Iraq
2005-10-23
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - U.S. troops and warplanes killed 20 insurgents Saturday while destroying safehouses for foreign militants near the Syrian border, and four more American military deaths edged the war's U.S. death toll closer to 2,000.

The day's heaviest fighting came when U.S.-led forces raided five houses suspected of sheltering foreign fighters in Husaybah, a town near Iraq's border with Syria, the military said. The troops reportedly killed 20 insurgents and captured one. The raiders found two caches of small arms, ammunition, rocket-propelled grenades, mortar rounds and bomb-making materials, the military said. Troops set off a car bomb found near one of the buildings, and the Air Force then used precision-guided munitions to destroy the houses.

#1  Bravely reported by AP's Lee Keath from the Green Zone which will finally be free when the 2000th MSM journalist dies. It may be from alcoholism, it may come from being kidnapped - mistaken for an infidel enemy, it may be from "friendly fire". Doesn't matter. Iraq won't be able to buy a break from assholes such as Keath until they are gone.
