US strike 'on Zarqawi safe house'

The United States tonight launched an airstrike in Fallujah on a safe house used by followers of Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi – the second strike against the terror network in three days.

Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, the US-led coalition’s deputy chief of operations, said the strike involved precision weapons to “target and destroy” the safe house and was based on “multiple confirmations of actionable intelligence”.
