...might slip away if they waited too long. A knowledgeable Pentagon official says the Delta team "saw one group come into the house and one group exit." Al-Zarqawi was not in the departing group, but the commandos were afraid he might be in the next one. The recon unit's leader radioed his superiors to request an air strike. Two Air Force F-16s on another mission miles away were given the assignment. At 6:12 p.m., the first of two precision-guided 500-lb. bombs fell on the farmhouse. For anyone still inside, there was nowhere left...
Active Houses November 2, 1955 One of President Lowell’s main reasons for building seven upper-class Houses was to provide a social and recreational unit for the large and scattered student body. Today, although College students are no longer spread throughout Cambridge rooming houses, the enrollment is larger than Lowell ever could have guessed in 1930. The enlarged College of 1955 demands that each House take on an increasingly important job: to provide new activities for its members and to help organize existing College-wide activities on a House level.

As the IED exploded, a taxi carrying five men rolled past the Marine convoy. The taxi stopped, and the men inside got out. The Marines, who suspected that the men were spotters for the IED, ordered them to lie on the ground. When they ran instead, the Marines shot and killed them. The unit then swept through four nearby houses, and in the space of the next few hours, killed 19 more people, only one of whom...
...Khaled Raseef, a spokesman for the victims' relatives and an uncle of some of the children who were killed, says the NCIS agents have visited the houses attacked by the Marines 15 times, taken survivors to one of the homes and performed a re-enactment of the unit's movements. A U.S. military source in Iraq told TIME that investigators have placed the noncommissioned officer in charge of the unit that day, Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, 26, in at least two of the houses where the Marines killed Iraqis. Wuterich, who is based at California's Camp Pendleton, the vast...
