Teddy-kins' RE:"Jimbo, Debka is not the press or a media company. Its a right wing, Israeli website apparently made up of former Mossad agents. I use it because they often get info first [before the press] as to what's going on in the ME. It's front page Yahoo now. But it was on Debka first; that's where JF got the info.

Different Accounts U.S. Military Denies Wedding Party Attacked May 19, 2004— Arab television networks reported today that a U.S. helicopter had fired on a wedding party in western Iraq, but the U.S. military denied it. Qatar-based Al-Jazeera quoted eyewitnesses as saying that 40 people, including women and children, were killed in a predawn attack on a village near the Syrian border. The Associated Press said Iraqi officials in the nearby city of Ramadi gave the same death toll. Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the chief military spokesman in Iraq, denied that U.S. forces fired on a wedding party but said the military would investigate. Kimmitt said coalition forces did conduct an operation about 15 miles from the Syrian border at 3 a.m., and that ground troops found 40 bodies after the attack. He declined to say whether there were any children among the dead. Kimmitt said coalition ground troops were investigating a suspected "rat line" — a route used by anti-U.S. insurgents and criminals such as smugglers — when they came under fire. The troops called in air support, Kimmitt said, and coalition planes attacked the site. He said the ground troops afterward recovered "numerous weapons, 2 million Iraqi and Syrian dinar, foreign passports, and a SATCOM radio." He said the incident occurred in the desert 50 miles southwest of Husaybah. Al-Arabiya showed pictures of several covered bodies lined up along a dirt road, along with men digging graves and lowering bodies into them — including the body of a child — while families wept. abcnews.go.com
