BBC NEWS | Middle East | Falluja raid 'hits wedding party'

"The US military said what it called a 'precision strike' targeted a hideout used by associates of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

But local hospital doctors reported that the raid had struck a house shortly after a wedding party.

The groom is said to have been killed, while his bride was injured. Women and children were also among the wounded.

[I]n a statement the US military insisted: "Credible intelligence sources confirmed Zarqawi leaders were meeting at the safe-house at the time of the strike."


Hearts and minds, Bubba, hearts and minds.
