Sat Sep 29, 6:32 AM ET

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military confirmed on Saturday it carried out an air strike in the Doura district of southern Baghdad on Friday, saying it had targeted men firing mortars into a neighboring area.


"Coalition forces surveillance elements observed a group of men setting up and firing mortars in the Doura neighborhood of southern Baghdad. After they fired the mortars, the men hid the mortar tube nearby," a U.S. military statement said.

"Responding to this hostile action, coalition forces called for air support and engaged the men."

Reuters television footage from Yarmouk Hospital in Baghdad showed three men and two boys who had been wounded in the attack. Doctors had amputated the left leg of one of the boys.

3. I thought Baghdad was perfectly safe?

Isn't that what General Betrayus (R-Fantasyland) told Congress? You know, like any Farmer's Market in Indiana and stuff? Do they routinely call in air strikes on Farmer's Markets in Indiana? :shrug: I haven't been there in a while. Maybe things have changed. :eyes:
