FALLUJAH Iraqi Army Forces discovered and destroyed an al Qaeda improvised explosive device factory during an early morning operation northeast of Fallujah July 2.
Iraqi Soldiers located the factory, which contained homemade explosives, nitric acid containers and numerous other hidden explosives, on a remote compound in the vicinity of Karmah. Ground forces destroyed the homemade explosives in place and, after clearing the area, utilized close air support to destroy the complex.
The destruction of the terrorist IED factory will greatly inhibit al Qaeda in Iraq attacks in the Fallujah and Karmah areas leading into Baghdad.
Coalition Forces were present as advisors. No Iraqi or Coalition Forces were injured during this operation.
Now THAT’s some bad karmah!
DUUUDES!!! YEAH!!
But even more important, did they destroy the IED factory workers?
Maybe they were baby milk factory workers. (Old joke. Even I'm sick of it.)
Good for the Iraqis’ ... as they stand up ... we’ll stand down.
That’s encouraging. Good for the Iraqis!
Does the fact that they are now setting up factories to make substitute explosives mean that the Coalition efforts to destroy caches of military ordnance and disrupt supply lines is actually having an effect?
