US hits suspected hideout of terrorist

THE US military struck a suspected terror network for the third time in a week in Iraq yesterday.

They were targeting an alleged safe house of the group believed to be behind co-ordinated attacks that killed more than 100 people this week.

The air strike was directed at a Fallujah hideout of Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, blamed for a series of bombs and beheadings that have shaken confidence as Iraq moves toward self-rule next week.
