TIKRIT, Iraq – Attackers riding in a four-door sedan, fired automatic weapons at a logistics convoy that was traveling north on the Samarra bypass during the morning of Jan. 14. Soldiers in the convoy returned fire and destroyed the vehicle. A quick reaction force from a nearby forward operating base responded as the convoy continued toward its destination. No Coalition soldiers were injured in the attack. The vehicle was completely engulfed by fire so the soldiers from the quick reaction force could not determine whether or not the attackers sustained casualties.

If you want on or off the Pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me, Calpernia or xzins. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days. (Most days are good days).

The soldiers searched the vehicle and found the second wounded attacker in the trunk. He was taken under guard to a nearby hospital for treatment.

It's too bad that the SOB isn't dead; but then ... I'm reminded of the tale about Androcles and the lion.

Will it work?

It should ...
