Palestinian, Jordanian gunnies fighting in Baghdad
The US Army's 3rd infantry division, 2-7 Mechanized Infantry Brigade, is involved in a fierce battle with Palestinian and Jordanian gunmen in the industrial area of southern Baghdad. The people shooting at US forces are using coordinated attacks using RPG's, suicide trucks, artillery, and sniper fire. Two journalists and two military personnel were killed in the coordinated attack by the Palestinian and Jordanian fighters. Military sources are saying that they know from prisoners of war that the Palestinian and Jordanian fighters are attempting to reorganize Iraqi resistance in Baghdad. The military sources called the gunmen "thugs". There are some US casualties, but many more enemy casualties.I'd call their presence an unfriendly act, myself. Perhaps someone would like to do some 'splainin'? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-07 |
