Al Mansour (upmarket) disctrict & that 4 JDAM 2000lb bombs were dropped in succession.

These JDAMs are *not* bunker busting bombs.

One story is that it was Saddam & other senior Iraqi officials gathering for a meeting and that the house concealed an underground bunker.

Other reports speak of SH being in a restaurant in the district at 2pm on Mon when it was hit.

Of course this is early words - also we keep hearing that US authorities are highly optomistic that the bombing achieved its goal.
