Coalition air strike destroys building, kills insurgents
A Coalition Forces aircraft bombed a building today killing six insurgents near Salman Pak, Iraq, southeast of Baghdad. A British Royal Air Force GR-4 Tornado dropped the 2,000-pound bomb after insurgents attacked an Iraqi National Police station and checkpoint destroying a guard tower and four vehicles. After attacking the checkpoint, the insurgents entered a mosque and began firing on the checkpoint from the mosqueÂ’s rooftop. The insurgents fled the mosque and entered the building which was later bombed. Two OH-58D helicopters responded to the attack engaging about 30 anti-Iraqi forces with .50 caliber rounds and rockets.

#1 What happened? Missed the mosque but got lucky with the other building?

Now the Imam is going to have to go through the arduous process of decontaminating the mosque from having been touched by infidel terrorists. They are infidels, are they not?

#2 I wonder why they left the 'safe haven' of the mosque? I also wonder if we'd have dropped a bomb on the safe haven. Not a wonder so much as a hope....
