Breaking news in Fallujah..several reports have a US plane firing two missiles into a building in Fallujah. US military commanders have no comment.
AP: Baghdad -- "A U.S. military plane fired missiles Saturday into a residential neighborhood in Fallujah, killing at least 20 people and levelling houses in the restive Sunni Muslim city, police and residents said. It was the first significant U.S. military action in the city since Marines ended a bloody three-week siege against insurgents. Since the U.S. forces left, residents have said that extremist influence in the city, west of Baghdad, has only grown. U.S. Marines declined comment and referred queries to the U.S. command, which said it had no comment. At least two houses were destroyed and six others were damaged in the poor neighborhood."
Maybe the US plane was fired on...maybe we had intel on who was in the building (Zarqawi or associates?)...maybe it was a mistake.
This would be the first US operation in Fallujah since May.
