Fallujah's mosques hid arms, militants

[Moloch]

The U.S. military captured at least 15 portable surface-to-air missiles capable of shooting down aircraft, dozens of mortar tubes and sophisticated anti-tank weapons among hundreds of weapons caches found in the Iraqi militant stronghold of Fallujah, according to a classified military report.

The report said that one out of every two mosques in Fallujah were used to hide fighters or weapons during a recent offensive. Fallujah is called the "city of mosques" because it has at least 100 such houses of worship.

The report was presented Friday to senior U.S. military officers, who were also briefed on the capture of a high-ranking Iraqi insurgent in Fallujah on Thursday. The insurgent was carrying a lengthy list of targets planned against coalition facilities and officials, according to three officers briefed on the report.
