FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRECISION STRIKE IN FALLUJAH
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- At 4:57 am Baghdad time, September 30, Multi-National Forces conducted a successful strike in north-east Fallujah, inflicting yet another blow to the Abu Musab al Zarqawi terrorist network on a known terrorist safe house. Several intelligence sources reported that Zarqawi terrorists were using the safe house at the time of the strike to plan attacks against Iraqi citizens and Multi-National Forces.
Significant secondary explosions were observed during the impact indicating a large cache of illegal ordinance was stored in the safe house. Multi-National forces take great care to minimize collateral damage and civilian casualties. Terrorists' placement of weapons caches in homes, schools, hospitals and mosques continue to put innocent civilians at risk.
The Iraqi government, with the support of Multi-National Forces, are committed to a safe and stable Iraq.
