Building Destroyed After Gunfire Attacks

Multi-National Corps – West PAO

CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Regimental Combat Team 5 Marines patrolling on foot
Sunday in Hasa, Iraq, were attacked with small arms fire by insurgents positioned in a
residential structure.

The Marines attempted to maneuver on the building but were unable to enter due
to the high volume of insurgent fire.

The Marines then fired a shoulder fired, anti-tank rocket at the building, and when
the fire continued from the insurgents, the Marines employed precision-guided ordnance
to destroy the building.

No additional damage or casualties to civilians or Coalition Forces were reported.
