Third day of airstrikes on Falluja

In this round.

U.S. warplanes bombed rebel-held Falluja for a third successive night. The U.S. military said the assault was part of a "precision strike" on an operating base for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant Washington says is allied to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.

"The target was a building frequently used by terrorists at the time of the strike. Three Zarqawi associates were reported to be in the area, no other individuals were present at the time of the strike," the statement said.

Of course not.

Reuters Television pictures showed several bloodied and heavily bandaged children being treated in a Falluja hospital after the air strikes.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
