FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RESPONSE: AL JAZEERA STORY, "HOSPITAL HIT AS FIGHTING RAGES IN FALLUJA."
Al Jazeera released a story today alleging US-led forces bombed an unspecified hospital clinic in Fallujah. This allegation is unsubstantiated.
Insurgents have used allegations of civilian deaths as part of disinformation efforts in the past.
This same Al Jazeera story also reported a US helicopter shot down in Fallujah, which is false. No coalition helicopter has been shot down over Fallujah during "Operation al-Fajr."
