Coalition Aircraft Strike Zarqawi Stronghold

When You Care Enough To (Keep) Sending The Very Best!

Coalition aircraft hit a stronghold of fugitive terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi outside Fallujah, Iraq, Sunday.

Forces attacked the site using precision-guided munitions.

News reports indicate 14 people were killed and three injured, but a coalition statement did not include casualty figures.

Zarqawi, a Jordanian extremist, has claimed responsibility for many of the terrorist strikes in Iraq, including the explosions that destroyed the U.N. headquarters in the country and strikes against Kurdish targets. Zarqawi hopes to incite civil war in Iraq, U.S. officials said, citing a letter he wrote to al Qaeda leaders that was intercepted last year.

Military officials said Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi approved the strike. The strike destroyed a house and fighting positions around it, according to a written statement from coalition deputy operations chief Army Brig. Gen. Erv Lessel. The release said about 25 foreign fighters were in the house before the strike. [ANN Thanks the American Forces Press Service]
