Witnesses said the first attack was a bomb in a fuel truck
that was detonated at a house in Mosul that has been
occupied by US troops since last
month.

-Notice after the Mosul messhall bombing
we start seeing copycat fuel trucks used as bombs.

Now, imagine someone detonating a fuel tanker
next to your home. Can you imagine surviving
that?

a second human bomb attack targeted a US patrol
responding to the first blast.

_So, you think you would survive the second bomb
-Do you think you would still be sane?

The patrol also had to negotiate several roadside bombs
and when it reached the combat outpost, it came under
attack from around 50 fighters firing assault rifles, mortars
and rocket-propelled grenades.

I like that-had to negotiate-like a ransom was paid
to the IED's not to go off.
