FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MNF-I STRIKES IN FALLUJAH
FALLUJAH, Iraq -- Multi-National Force-Iraq struck an Abu Musab al-Zarqawi safe house in southwest Fallujah this morning. Credible intelligence sources confirmed Zarqawi leaders were meeting at the safe house at the time of the strike. The precision strike occurred at 2:31 a.m. Central Baghdad Time.
Intelligence sources confirmed that the safe house was being used by the group to meet and plan attacks against Iraqi civilians, Iraqi Security Forces, and Multi-National Forces.
Removing these criminals from Iraq and active service to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, diminishes the capabilities of the terrorist network to conduct attacks, and strengthens the safety and security of the sovereign country of Iraq.
