The daughter was carrying the baby on the road near the LSA when she was chased by wild dogs and left the baby so she could run faster, according to reports given to Capt. Lance Awbrey, commander, Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery.And the dogs didn't take the 'bait'?
Thankfully, our guys didn't recon the potential IED with a round or two and checked the box out. That takes some stones, and they not only saved the baby, but avoided what could well have been a 'baby killer' set-up.
Well done, gentlemen, well done.

Bingo. Bet the bad guys had a video camera...no...bet the bad guys had alerted the news media to watch that box.

I've gotta love these guys for their bravery in recovering the box and their instincts in saving the baby's life.
We do have a superior culture of life.

Yes! I think that you are probably right in your suggestion that this was a "baby-killer" set-up. The intent was to have nervous troops shoot the box, and then there would be a news item on troops killing baby, &c.
If they had had the technology, the perps would have fashioned a suicide diaper onto the poor child.
