US gunships kill 30 Iraqi militants in Babylon
2008-03-27
(KUNA) -- Around 30 Iraqi militants were killed Wednesday when Israeli warplanes bombarded groups of gunmen in babylon south of Baghdad, an Iraqi security source told KUNA. He added that US helicopter gunships bombed militants gathering in neighborhoods of Al-Askari and Nader in the city of Hella, Babylon's largest cities. He said at least 30 militants were killed and a number of houses were destroyed in the bombardment.

Babylon was a scene of sporadic clashes between the security forces and Al-Mahdi army militias yesterday.

#7  Note to myself: At the next meeting of the Elders

Nobody ever invites me to the manipulating-the-world parties! g(r)omgoru, I'll be fifty in a bit -- do you think I might get an invitation then?

#6  At 7:45 p.m., an MND-B air weapons team positively indentified 20 to 30 terrorists moving north of Baghdad. They received clearance to fire and killed four terrorists.

Wrong direction from KUNA, but...

#3  Note to myself: At the next meeting of the Elders rise the issue of tightening our control of the Media---leaks like this one can and should be prevented!
