USAF F-16s on Aug. 30 struck an anti-Iraqi forces meeting place in the vicinity of Al Qa’im, in northwest Iraq near the border with Syria. The fighters fired one GBU-38, destroying the building. It was the second time, coalition forces had struck in the area. Other F-16s provided CAS to coalition ground troops in the area who were battling anti-Iraqi forces.
