Dec. 22, 2004 — New evidence shows the bombing of a U.S. military mess tent in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Tuesday — which killed 22 people and wounded 70 others — was a suicide attack, ABC News has learned.

Investigators at the base have found remnants of a torso and a suicide vest that was probably a backpack, sources told ABC News, indicating that the attack was a suicide bombing.

1. So it takes the military ...

roughly a day to figure out that it was a planted bomb rather than a Rocket ?

I heard this morning that the reason it was such a devistating attack, was that it exploded at the top of the tent.

Hmmm ... so why didn't anyone stop the guy with the backpack who was apparently climbing the tent pole.

I smell a coverup.

2. Damn, I was afraid that was the case....

...dangerous time to be a soldier in the "Allied" forces.
I wish our soldiers safety...and that they get home SOON!
