I heard it reported much earlier but haven't seen anything on the Internet yet.

Good post. Should be Breaking News. I heard it on MSNBC before I switched to C-SPAN2 to watch the CENTCOM Briefing. For some reason I got the idea it was a Brigade TOC and I heard at least six KIA.

There was a report quite some time ago about an attack on a ?TAC unit of a Marine? group that took a some casualties, maybe two deaths.

Does that make sense to anyone who knows the lingo?

They are probably waiting until they identify all of the casualties, at which point they will scramble to come up with a "helicopter accident" to feed to the media.

I'm only half-kidding about that one.

Three things have happened, as far as I can tell.

An armored personnel carrier was struck, killing some, wounding many

A bridge that we are attempting to take and cross was struck. Killing at least one

A command and control center was hit, wounding 6, with 4-6 missing on "initial count."

All in all a somewhat bloody afternoon.

Sky News in the UK is reporting that 2 Marines and two journalists were killed. The journalists were from Spain and germany.
