WASHINGTON, April 8, 2008 – An Army Apache helicopter and an Air Force F-16 took out a mortar-launching team and their launch site yesterday after an observation team saw them emplacing mortars in the New Baghdad district, military officials reported.
A joint security station reported a mortar attack near its location in the New Baghdad district. After a second 82 mm round exploded near the station, an aerial surveillance team pinpointed the two mortars' point of origin.
Iraqi security forces called in a U.S. Army Apache air weapons team that killed the mortar crew with a Hellfire missile. An F-16 then dropped a low-yield bomb on the mortar site.
Also yesterday, an Apache team destroyed a storage site for rails used to launch rocket attacks. Forces observed insurgents recovering rails after a rocket attack. An aerial weapons team was called in for support. The crew destroyed the structure and the rails with a Hellfire missile.
In other news in Iraq, coalition forces seized a weapons cache yesterday in eastern Baghdad. Soldiers found a small cache of armor-piercing explosively formed penetrators while patrolling. The cache was recovered.

They were trying to get Allegra. Heh, good luck. We know how to find you.
yay!
Bad move on the “TANGOs” part! Trying to Get Allegra; Bad Tangos, Very Bad!
9th century mentality against 21st century technology … gee, who will win. ;-)
They didn't kill the mortar team - they pureed 'em.
And we like it that way.

Don’t ya’ just love that ‘surgical strike’ sh*t!?
Hoooraah!
Jointness done right!
I work on an Army post, as a contractor, and am a former Air Force officer.
I love it.
I LOVE it when this happens. :-D
LOL! I made it to Kuwait yesterday. I'm on my way home to take a breather before plunging back into it.
I'll be watching for the REAL NEWS while I'm away. Several friends in Baghdad and things like these threads should be good to keep the truth flowing.
Enjoy your break,...spend some time on a beach...you’ve earned it!
I hung out by the Persian Gulf for a while today. Does that count? ;-)
