Baghdad Targets Under Fire March 26, 2003 Coalition forces struck Baghdad again Wednesday, hitting targets associated with Iraq's intelligence service and state television . and killing 14 people in a residential area, Iraq claimed. U.S. Central Command said it had no information on the Iraqi claim, but asserted again that it was using precision weapons aimed only at regime targets. "We have a very, very deliberate process for targets. It takes into account all science. It takes into account all possibilities," Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks said at a press conference at Central Command headquarters in Doha, Qatar. "We only target things that have military significance." Meanwhile, some intelligence sources said a large contingent of Iraq's elite Republican Guard, including 1,000 vehicles, was headed toward U.S. troops in central Iraq. But U.S. Central Command denied any movement was seen. The area in question already has seen the heaviest fighting of the war. U.S. officials say American troops with the 7th Cavalry killed up to 500 Iraqi fighters Tuesday and Wednesday in fighting around the central Iraq city of Najaf. > ...from the Leg-HERFing department... > > Cheers, > RAH > Who expects it was just a bomb-bomb, Jim.
