Mosque Targeted In Fallouja Fighting

By Tony Perry and Rick Loomis, Times Staff Writers

FALLOUJA, Iraq â ” A fierce battle Monday in a rubble-strewn neighborhood of this Sunni Muslim stronghold left one Marine and at least eight insurgents dead, casting a new shadow over prospects for a peaceful solution to the military standoff here.

During the two-hour midday fight, in which at least eight U.S. troops were wounded, a Marine tank demolished the 150-foot-tall minaret of a mosque, from which machine-gun fire had been raining onto Marines 200 yards away.

At one point, the combatants exchanged rifle fire 30 yards apart.

The insurgents were close enough to hurl grenades on top of a building where Marines were briefly pinned down.

Farther back, on the roof of a U.S. military compound, Marine snipers cranked up the volume on their CD player so they could listen to the music of Metallica as they fired at their foes.

heh. the PC world isn‘t gonna like that

a fellow private (prepping for Afghanistan now, good luck) told me a couple weeks ago that since old armies marched to battle with drum music, that we should be followed into battle by electric guitarists playing metallica songs, to reflect the times

Sadly the islamic world will just look at this as an attack on a mosque irregardless of whether it was used as a fortified position where Marines were being MG‘s from.

They‘ll turn it into a propaganda tool, and it will be used as another US attrocity throughout the islamic world.

Cheers,

...keeping with modern times, it would be during a section attack, since you don‘t march to time in the field
