One Terrorist is claiming to have gotten ahold of more information on the Mosul attack. He claims that the attack was carried out by a young martyr, approximately 24 years of age. This young man had worked in the Mosul base before and was able to gather intelligence about the base and important details regarding when and what would be the best target for an attack. The Terrorist then goes on to say that he is not positive, but he believes that the attack was more then likely carried out by using C4 Explosives attached to the marytr's body. As the young man entered the tent he set off the explosives.

Washington - The powerful blast on Tuesday at a US military dining tent in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul which killed 26 people was a suicide attack, ABC News reported on Wednesday.
"A backpack found by investigators at the site and remnants of a torso indicate that the attack was caused by a suicide bombing," the US television station quoted unidentified sources as saying.
US President George W Bush on Tuesday referred to a "rocket attack" on the mess tent at the US military base in Mosul.
A top US commander in Iraq, Lieutenant-General Thomas Metz, said on Wednesday that experts were investigating what caused the blast, which left at least 14 US soldiers among the dead.
Asked by CNN television whether a bomb may have been planted in the dining hall, Metz said: "Well, it's certainly a possibility. And that's the reason we have our experts up there.
"They will be able to figure out exactly what calibre munition and type of indirect fire, if it was indirect," he said.
"If it was a bomb, I think they'll be able to figure out the size, the kinds of materials that were put into it.
"But our experts are there right now doing that investigation."
The al-Qaeda linked Army of Ansar al-Sunna on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the Mosul attack in a statement attributed to the group on an Islamist website.

The right answer for this one is for Syria's Assad to buy the farm. A MOAB right on the palace. |
Wow, a Homicide Bomber... that's scary.
Right inside or next to the mess tent... not good.
Troops should avoid massing together as much as possible. Remember Lebanon.
Still sorting it out...

Friend of mine stationed in Mosul emailed me this morning, they think it was one of the Iraqi National Guardsmen who was the suicide bomber. They are in among the US troops everywhere. They seem to think this guy infiltrated the Iraqi guard and went in with a suicide belt on.
They've only got to get lucky once, we've got to be right 100% of the time. Damned shame. I hope we get them and "bring them to justice"
