CNN reports that U.S. warplanes destroyed suspected weapons storage sites in Falluja:
In overnight action, troops saw 20 armed people toting crates of ammo and equipment from one storage area to another building in Falluja about 10 p.m. Thursday.
Fifteen minutes later, Marines fired precision-guided bombs at a building and obliterated it, causing secondary explosions. Ten minutes after that assault, warplanes took out the second building, and that caused a number of prolonged secondary explosions.
Such secondary explosions are signs that there could have been explosives stored in the locations.
I'll be very happy when the insurgents are no longer in control of Falluja. The destruction of weapons storage, the redeployment of British forces near Baghdad, and the interim government's warning that there will be a full-scale offensive against the Abu Musab al-Zarqawi network are all steps brining that day closer.
