MNF-I Strikes Foreign Terrorists
FALLUJAH, Iraq -- Coalition forces struck two Abu Musab al Zarqawi sites, a weapons transload and storage site in southern Fallujah, and a Zarqawi terrorist network safe house located in the Jolan district of Fallujah.
Reliable intelligence sources confirmed that several Zarqawi terrorists were operating in the facilities at the time of the strike
These precision strikes occurred at 1:05 p.m. local time. Intelligence sources reported that numerous weapons were being stored at the transload and storage site, and that personnel operating from the safe house were involved in kidnappings and executions of innocent Iraqis.
These sites were being used by the group to plan and facilitate attacks against innocent Iraqi civilians, Iraqi security forces, and their coalition partners.
Informants in the area reported that several uninjured individuals from one of the targeted locations fled to the Fallujah General Hospital. Some of the individuals are suspected of carrying weapons.
