Precision Air Strike Targets Anti-Iraqi Forces
Bagdad, Iraq - Multi-National Forces conducted a precision air strike in the Al Thawra District at approximately 11:30 p.m., Sept. 28.
The strike targeted an insurgent rocket team. One insurgent vehicle was destroyed igniting four to five secondary explosions. Munitions inside the vehicle likely caused the secondary explosions .
"We waited for the vehicle to leave the area before opening fire on it in order to minimize the risk of civilian casualties and collateral damage. The vehicle was fired on and destroyed in an open area away from buildings and other people," said Capt. Brian O'Malley, spokesman for the 1st Cavalry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team.
