Reply #22: There were two attacks [View All]

[IndianaGreen]

The first one is the one involving the Humvee and the truck that were shown burning by CNN. Initial reports is that there were 2 killed in that incident.

Here is the second incident, as reported by MSNBC in its usual way of burying it within another story:

Shortly afterward a huge explosion rocked the area, and there were unconfirmed reports from residents that U.S. Humvees had come under attack a few miles away.

Locals said the vehicles had hit landmines on the main highway between Khaldiya and Habbaniya, west of Baghdad.

If the Iraqi resistance is now attacking convoys in order to atract US troops to the scene and then attacking the rescuers in force, then they are more organized than we were led to believe.
