| The fire is everything...  | Post; Operation Phantom Fury, The Attack on FallujahOperation Phantom Fury Just starting a thread of it's own about news from the attack on Falluja. Here's a couple of articles about the attack: http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...s§ion=news http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/me...ain/index.html Reuters did also report that a US helicopter (unknown type) has been shot down, but this has been rejected by the US forces. About 40 "terrorists" and 15 civilians have been killed so far, but I've heard nothing about and US casualties. I did however hear on the radio this morning that two US Marines that were a part of this operation did drown in an accident on the Euphrates river. This has not been confirmed yet. Edit: found some more info here: http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/33746.htm Quote:
This is not confirmed either, since the US forces have not been able to reach that hospital yet.. Please post any news you see/read/hear about operation Phantom Fury in here (with sources please). | |

| Primus Pilus | One thing of interest is I keep seeing people say "elite Iraqis" or "Iraqi commandos". I wonder if these are the guys that American SF trained? |

Anyways, it seems a large portion of the terrorist are dispersing around Iraq. At least the "Alamo" will be gone...
