According to the NYTimes an American warplane flattened Hajji Hussein, Falluja's most popular restaurant famous for its kabobs. 46 Iraqis were killed. The military claimed HH was a gathering place for terrorists. Ali Hussein, the owner, whose father founded the restaurant and who lost his son and his nephew in the attack denied the charges. "This is a well-known restaurant in midtown," said Mr Hussein. "We have a lot of people always going in and out. No one can hide in here. We are on the main street. How could there be any Zarqawi people inside?"
