Yessss! It hasn't been a good day for al Qaeda in Iraq, this 20th day of March, 2009. Nope. Just 45 miles north of Baghdad, a bunch of the bad guys were hiding out near some bunkers and a nice little old American air strike turned 'em into dust....yesssss! The story is pretty brief here at Fox News, so I'll excerpt all of it here:
U.S.: Airstrike in Iraq Kills 11 Insurgents
BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says an airstrike on a militant hideout north of Baghdad has killed at least 11 insurgents.
Military spokesman Maj. Derrick Cheng told The Associated Press on Friday that ground forces searched the site after the strike and found a cache of weapons, munitions and parts to build improvised explosive devices.
It's not immediately known whether any civilians were killed in the strike that an Iraqi security official said occurred Thursday morning.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
Cheng says the suspected insurgents were hiding near several bunkers south of Balad Ruz in Diyala province. That's about 45 miles northeast of Baghdad.
It's been too long since we've seen this many dead al Qaeda in Iraq in one fell swoop - don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for more action necessarily but we know there's still plenty of 'em left in the country of Iraq and I do want to see each and every one of them deader than door nails.
