Iraq: 25 Civilians Killed? No, says Central Command
October 8, 2007
Cent Com figured they’d nip this story in the bud…but you all know the MSM - our military will be accused of murder anyway! LibNOT.com will bring you the truth.
STATEMENT FROM MULTI-NATIONAL FORCE – IRAQ: COALITION FORCES ENGAGED TERRORISTS NEAR BAQUBAHBAGHDAD, Iraq – Media have been reporting that the 25 individuals killed in an operation early Friday morning at a location near Baqubah were innocent civilians. This is not true.
During an operation to locate a Special Groups leader believed to be associated with members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps – Quds Force, ground forces came under heavy fire from a large number of individuals. Air support was requested to suppress the threat, resulting in 25 terrorists killed.
In this instance, we have confirmed that the 25 criminals who were killed were responsible for the attack on our forces and in fact were members of an extremist group operating in the Baqubah region.
Coalition forces respond to unprovoked attacks in self-defense, taking all possible measures to preclude the loss of innocent civilian lives.
