Newly built hospital destroyed (Fallujah, missiles)
Newly-built hospital destroyed
06/11/2004 20:05 - (SA)

Fallujah - A newly-built hospital, which was about to be inaugurated, was destroyed on Saturday morning in the flashpoint Iraqi city of Fallujah by two missiles, its director said.

The Nazzal general hospital had been built with funds from Saudi donors who belonged to an Islamic-Saudi relief agency, Doctor Ali Hayad told AFP.

The building had been ready for two weeks, fully furnished with vital medical equipment and medicine. It also housed an analytical laboratory.

Fallujah, a Sunni Muslim bastion 50km west of Baghdad, has come under an increasing storm of US aerial bombardments in recent weeks as US troops turn up the heat of insurgents who are believed to be holed up inside.

NOTE: I have not seen any other news account of this newly built hospital or its destruction.

5. Thanks. Nice to know Reuters still has a reporter in Fallujah
gutsy reporter. Fadel al-Badrani. I can't imagine any place in that city would be safe to hole up.

4. And why would you expect the corporate media
to cover this? They are all whores for the administration. There you go again: thinking logically. This is precisely what the Fascists don't want. The only thing I can see is that now our Coward in Chief won't be able to blame anyone else, even though he will try to do so. Keep the faith. Nixon was impeached after his "mandate win" of 1972.
