F-16s Turn Iraqi Family Against Americans Mon November 10, 2003 08:25 AM ET (Page 1 of 2) By Michael Georgy FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - The Jawal family was one of the few in this flashpoint town who liked the Americans -- until U.S. F-16 jets dropped 500-pound bombs near their home. "We used to have hopes of the Americans after they removed Saddam (Hussein). We thought they would deliver on their promises," said Khatoun Jawal. "We liked them until this weekend. Why did they drop bombs near us? Some of my children were so scared they fainted." A U.S. military source said F-16 fighter-bombers dropped three 500-pound bombs near Falluja, west of Baghdad, on Sunday after unspecified attacks on U.S. troops. U.S. forces resumed air strikes at the weekend for the first time since the end of the war to topple Saddam, after guerrillas shot down three U.S. helicopters, killing 22 soldiers. The Jawals and other families clustered in a score of cement hovels on the edge of Falluja, a hotbed of anti-U.S. fury, said they had heard no shooting before the jets roared overhead. Their account underscores how the U.S. military is enraging some Iraqi civilians, instead of winning them over, as it hunts down guerrillas who have killed 151 U.S. soldiers since President Bush declared major combat over on May 1. Khaled Jawal said the family were fast asleep when they were jolted awake by thunderous bombing that scattered heavy pieces of shrapnel as close as three yards from their door. HYSTERIA AS BOMBS EXPLODE "It was so loud. The children were hysterical," he said. A neighbor, Maha, fainted. "I was terrified. They took me to the hospital to calm me down," she said, pulling up her sleeve to show part of an intravenous drip still taped on. Continued reuters.com
