Bombers Turned from Murder to Suicide By US Forces

Major General Bergner - "The following video clip is an example of that tough fight our soldiers are engaged in. Before showing it, I want to note that no Coalition Forces were killed or injured as a result of the suicide blast you will see.

"During a recent operation, Coalition Forces targeted an al-Qaeda Iraq leader associated with a terrorist group north of Baghdad. During that operation, a terrorist emerged from the building and appeared to be holding something in his hands . . . when he continued to move toward our forces he was engaged with small arms fire which detonated a suicide vest he was wearing.

"The second video shows the ground force which was then engaged from inside the building. Another terrorist who was armed with explosives caused a second explosion on the other side of the building.

"Again, none of our forces were killed or injured in these engagements..."
