U.S. Warplanes Bomb Iraq's Falluja Again
2004-08-20
FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. warplanes attacked targets in Iraq's Sunni Muslim city of Falluja for a second time on Friday, witnesses said. They said the planes fired three rockets into the industrial zone of the city. There was no immediate word on casualties. A similar raid overnight killed five people and wounded six, hospital sources said.
Don't forget the kittens and baby ducks.

Falluja is a hotbed for anti-U.S. insurgents.

#1  The IslamoBaathist terrorists haven't carried out many suicide bomb attacks lately.

Is it possible that our cordon of Falluja has been tightened?
