Below you will find a report directly from CNN's own web site. I wonder why you would hear differently elsewhere? Was it on their cable tv coverage.......radio? Thank you for your service to our country. M Marines: U.S. bombed Iraqi mosque wall Wednesday, April 7, 2004 Posted: 2:14 PM EDT (1814 GMT) Sunni insurgents guard the streets of Fallujah Wednesday. BAGHDAD (CNN) -- The U.S. military dropped two 500-pound bombs on a wall surrounding a mosque compound in Fallujah, but the Muslim house of worship was not the target, a U.S. Marine source in Al Anbar province said. "We specifically did not target the mosque as we felt we could engage the enemy in the area with disciplined and well-aimed fire from our Marines without needing to cause extensive damage to the mosque and surrounding structures," the source said. "This mosque was repeatedly used as a base to target Iraqi and coalition forces throughout the day," the source said. "The breach of the wall was a graduated response to the threat." Rest at: cnn.com
