A coalition air strike exploded the plans of two insurgents attempting to set up an improvised explosive device on a street north of Baghdad, reports the Multi-National Corps-Iraq. The strike killed the two insurgents, leaving little collateral damage and no civilian injuries.
The Air Force is spending heavily on F-22 improvements through the end of the decade, suggesting it may not retire the jet in 2030 as it previously planned. New sensors, fuel tanks, communications, and electronic warfare systems are among the upgrades that comprise the package.
