US warplanes have bombed the Iraqi city of Falluja for the second day, killing four Iraqis, including two children, witnesses and hospital officials say.


Another four people, including one child, were wounded, said Falluja Hospital director Rafih Iyad on Friday.

The US military said it had no information on the attacks on the city west of Baghdad. The region has been a centre of resistance to US-led occupation forces.

Several people were also killed and injured in US raids on the city on Thursday.

1. How many innocent people will die in Bush's election campaign?

Bush must show that he is tough on the terraists. He only will drag our Nation further down in disgrace before we can finally oust him from office. Sad days to be an American when criminals rule our land.

2. Is there no end to this monster's blood-lust!?

Does Caligula paint little silloettes of babies on the wall of the situation room, every time he kills another one? How many children under 10 years old does this make that Caligula has had his personal army kill? 1000? 10,000? 50,000? We must start a movement to have his ass prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity! This little, bloody, ghoulish, Caligula ass-hole needs to be locked-up in Spandau before the year is out! That's the title of my play, "W in Spandau"

3. Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Thursday, 12 August 2004

Iraqi Resistance forces shot down a US Apache
helicopter before sunset on Thursday according to a report
from the correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam in the city.
The aircraft caught fire and crashed behind the
Agricultural College, burning entirely and leaving nothing but
a twisted metal skeleton. Two American soldiers aboard the
craft were killed.

Resistance destroys two US armored vehicles
in round-the-clock combat in al-Khalidiyah, west of
Baghdad.

Although the American statement, reported by al-
Jazeera satellite TV made no mention of the aircraft
(CH-53) crashing due to Resistance gunfire, the fact that
it crashed in the midst of combat would strongly hint at that.
The US blackout on news of American losses in the war
reduces official American statements to little more
than guessing games however.



The MH-53J's mission is to perform low-level,
long-
range, undetected penetration into denied areas, day or
night,
in adverse weather, for infiltration, exfiltration and
resupply
of special operations
forces.
