FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. Marines were conducting painstaking
weapons searches in the Iraqi city of Falluja on Monday when they
spotted a man with an AK-47 rifle on a nearby rooftop.
Armed only with a light weapon, he could never stand up to what they
were about to unleash. But he was enough to distract Marines from a
task that is key to stabilizing Falluja after a U.S.-led offensive
crushed rebels controlling the Sunni Muslim city.
The angle of the rooftop could not quite accommodate the trajectory of
a shoulder-launched Javelin missile so Marines fired the more direct,
wire-guided TOW missile after a debate.
Then they fired hefty .50 caliber machinegun rounds at the rooftop,
blew up a door and stormed a living room. It was an impressive display
of firepower but they raided the wrong house.
