As a result of findings during a review commissioned by Gen. David Petraeus, it has been made clear that troops are allowed to request airstrikes and artillary strikes against insurgents hiding in dilapidated buildings or other abandoned structures.
Looks to me like the whole country is pretty much dilapidated.
