The following are events related to the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) that took place on this day.

2005

• Iraqi insurgents carried out the deadliest attack against U.S. female service members to date when a suicide car bomber rammed a convoy in Fallujah. Five Marines (three male and two female) and one female sailor were killed in the attack and 13 others wounded, 11 of who were female. Although female service members are prohibited from combat units by law, cultural sensitivity prohibited males from searching female Iraqis and forced the inclusion of female troops in the combat zones to perform such tasks. The Marines were assigned to 2d MEF and were on their way back to their forward base.
