AIR STRIKE DESTROYS EXPLOSIVES FACTORIES IN ARAB JABOUR AIR STRIKE DESTROYS EXPLOSIVES FACTORIES IN ARAB JABOUR


BAGHDAD, Iraq – A Coalition Forces air strike destroyed two buildings housing  large caches of explosives materials in Arab Jabour Monday afternoon.

While searching the targeted building, ground forces discovered large amounts of chemicals and improvised explosive device-making materials.

Coalition Forces called in for air support to destroy the buildings to prevent the material from being used against Iraqi citizens, Iraqi military and Coalition Forces in the future.

“No civilians were hurt during the demolition of these buildings,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.  “A careful analysis was conducted prior to the strike, and every possible precaution to avoid unnecessary collateral damage was taken.”
