from the article(not that you can't read....lol..but it seems important)
"Falcon is located in a former commercial trucking depot in a sprawling industrial area at the southern entrance of Baghdad, near the violence-torn district of Dora, where U.S. troops have been focusing in a two-month-old sweep of the capital neighborhood-by-neighborhood aimed at rooting out militants and weapons."

I agree completely. The object of war is not to occupy land, but to kill the enemy as fast as possible.

Fire at Ammo Depot will be the top story on the Fox Report, according to Shep.

I have a front-row seat to it. Loud and pretty. Hopefully we don't have to use ammo any time soon, lol. Would hate to be the guys cleaning it up.

good thing its a new fiscal year. I fear if the Dems get control of the house - they won't authorize funds to pay for it... Hope our guys are safe and sound...

Mushroom like cloud is seen over Baghdad as huge explosions rocked the Iraqi capital early
Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2006. A fire broke out at an ammunition depot at a U.S. base in southern
Baghdad on Tuesday night, setting off a series of explosions from detonating tank and artillery
shells that shook buildings miles away. The U.S. military said there were no immediate reports
of casualties. (AP Photo/Dusan Vranic)

What would be in an ammo depot that would cause the massive fire before the explosions?

From DOD:Fire Breaks Out at Baghdad Ammunition Holding Area
American Forces Press ServiceBAGHDAD, Oct. 10, 2006 – An ammunition holding area caught fire today at a Multinational Division Baghdad forward operating base in the central Rasheed district of Baghdad, igniting tank and artillery ordnance as well as small-arms ammunition, military officials here reported.
Emergency first responders contained the fire within the base, officials said, adding that all coalition forces and workers at the base were safely evacuated.
No injuries have been reported.
The Baghdad Joint Coordination Center alerted Iraqi authorities, who notified Iraqi citizens in the area of the fire and subsequent detonations.
The damage to the area will not degrade the division’s operational capability, officials said.
