Gunship wins hands down, but where is the beef? Why not set up an ambush for the terrorists if their meeting place was known and catch them?
Clip from Associated Press report:
Hours after the bombing, U.S. forces destroyed a dye factory in southern Baghdad, setting off explosions that reverberated through the capital after nightfall Wednesday.
A Pentagon (news - web sites) spokesman said the facility was a "known meeting, planning, storage and rendezvous point for belligerent elements" attacking coalition forces.
Workers at the plant said the Americans visited them Wednesday afternoon and warned them the plant would be destroyed. One of them, Yahyeh Najim, said the factory was occupied by Saddam's Republican Guard during the war.
A resident, Jasim Naseef, said insurgents had fired 18 mortar shells from an area near the factory the day before.
