FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NO MNF ORDNANCE DROPPED IN RAMADI FOR MORE THAN A MONTH
CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, Iraq - CNN International erroneously reported yesterday that Multi-National Force aircraft dropped bombs on the Coalition of Iraqi National Unity building in Ramadi.
Multi-National Force aircraft did not drop any ordnance in the city of Ramadi today. Multi-National Force officials in Al Ramadi can confirm that no MNF aircraft have dropped ordnance within the city limits of Ramadi for more than a month.
Anti-Iraqi insurgents have made a concerted effort to place blame on MNF personnel for their recent string of attacks aimed at intimidating innocent civilians.
Multi-National Force Iraq is committed to assisting the interim Iraqi government in stabilizing the country and setting the conditions for a revitalized and prosperous Iraq.
