BAGHDAD, Iraq - A U.S. airstrike killed eight suspected terrorists and destroyed
a building south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said Friday.

The attack occurred Thursday night in Arab Jabour, a mostly Sunni Muslim suburb
south of Baghdad.

American troops came under "heavy enemy fire during a raid targeting al-Qaida
in Iraq terrorists and foreign fighter facilitators," the U.S. military said
in a statement.

Coalition aircraft swooped in, dropping precision bombs on a building where eight
suspects had barricaded themselves, the statement said.
