Free Iraq

Awaiting report from CNN and FOX on the number of those that the Americans are concerned about :"without causing collateral damage to other Iraqi civilians and personnel in the area".

Updates:

"U.S. Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said at the time that the American airstrike targeted "an identified, isolated safe house." (emphasis added. Comment: See the video of the bombing run mentioned above).

Four other people, including a woman and a child, were killed with al-Zarqawi and Abu Abdul-Rahman al-Iraqi, the terrorist's spiritual consultant.
Caldwell said it now appears there was no child among those killed. He cautioned that some facts were still being sorted out but said that three women and three men, (emphasis added. Comment: and the 50 destroyed houses were all empty?) including al-Zarqawi, were killed." U.S. Troops Hunt al-Qaida in Raids in Iraq June 9, 2006

"Khalilzad says he was informed yesterday by General George Casey that the military was getting close to al-Zarqawi and that there was no plan to move in troops for a possible capture.
"That was not brought up," he said "The only means that could be applied in a timely fashion was the attack by air power and that was decided by General Casey as the right thing to do."
U.S. jet fighters dropped two 500 pound bombs on a house in a field (emphasis added) about five miles north of Baqubah." No Thought Given to Taking Zarqawi Alive June 8, 2006

Some photographs did show the rubble of a house in a field.

Islam Memo (Translation, June 9, 2006): " Ahmad Mohammed, a farmer of Hibhib, who was a neighbour to the house in which Zarqawi was martyred, claimed that the house in which Zarqawi had moved in has been offered for sale for some time, along with an attached one acre farm that was planted with date and citrus trees. The house and farm were sold to somebody called Abu Omar from Baghdad for 70 million Iraqi Dinars just 12 days before the death of Zarqawi. The source informed Islam Memo correspondent: "At ten minutes to six on Wednesday afternoon, two rockets hit that house and the farm. The house was completely demolished and the farm was destroyed, as well as my house which was 50% damaged. Ten minutes after the bombardment, and after the smoke cleared up, my brother, my cousin and I ran to the scene and found several dead bodies, a severed leg among the trees, a burned up corpse of a man and the bodies of two dead women. Then my brother shouted: "There is a sound from somebody who is still alive." We searched the area and found Zarqawi whom I recognized from his TV pictures. His eyes were open and he kept repeating the Shahada (a prayer that is uttered before death). We pulled him from under the rubble as an ambulance arrived at the scene. We told the ambulance driver that there is a wounded man that needed assistance, without mentioning that he was Zarqawi. As we were trying to lift Zarqawi to put him in the ambulance, about 20 American soldiers rushed in and grabbed Zarqawi from our hands and started beating him with their hands and riffle butts for five minutes. He started to bleed profusely from his mouth and nose. He then died in their hands and a helicopter took him away. ... Only later did the Iraqi police and soldiers arrive to the scene."

And as recounted by the Corporate Media:

"Ahmed Mohammed, a local resident who said he rushed to the scene shortly after the bombs struck at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, said on Friday that he and others helped pull a bearded man he now believes was Zarqawi from the rubble.
When U.S. forces arrived, they took the man aside, Mohammed said, and kept asking him his name. When he did not respond, the soldiers kicked him and hit him, Mohammed said, until his nose began to bleed.
The account provided by Mohammed, who said he and others at the bombing site were detained and interrogated for several hours by American forces, could not be independently confirmed. Caldwell described no interactions, spoken or physical, between U.S. soldiers and Zarqawi." Zarqawi Lived After Airstrike June 10, 2006

So, what/where was the bombing run video mentioned above on a residential area in which tens of houses were demolished? How many 'collateral damages' were inflicted?
