Coalition responds to enemy attack in Fallujah Published April 28, 2004 By Donna Miles American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- A U.S. military AC-130H Spectre gunship fired on suspected insurgent positions in Fallujah, Iraq, on April 27, attacking weapons storage sites used by anti-coalition forces.News reports said the coalition launched the attack on targets in Fallujah at about 11 p.m. Iraq time after anti-coalition forces fired on Marine defensive positions. U.S. pool reporter Karl Penhaus said a gunship circled twice, launching as many as 25 rounds on each target. Televised video showed secondary explosions from the ground following the attack.The aerial attack came one day after Marines in Fallujah repulsed a sustained enemy attack. Marine Capt. Douglas Zembiec, commander for Company E, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, said his outnumbered Marines "fought like lions" to fend off that attack.The 1st Marine Expeditionary Force's unilateral cease-fire, declared April 9, has produced less-than-hoped-for results, Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said, with three violations of the cease-fire within the past 24 hours alone. Marines in Fallujah suspended their offensive operations in the city for almost 17 days, General Kimmitt said. General Kimmitt stressed that while the coalition seeks a peaceful resolution in Fallujah, "We are prepared to use force, and we have more than sufficient force (to do that.)"
