Marines engaging Hezbollah & PLO in eastern Baghdad
From The Command Post.
The strongest resistance to U.S. troops in the eastern half of Baghdad is coming from foreign fighters, including a few hundred members of the Palestine Liberation Army, MSNBC reported Tuesday, citing reporting by one of its reporters embedded with the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Force. MSNBC cited Israeli sources as saying some of the foreigners were probably recruited in Lebanon and then sent to Baghdad via Syria. There are members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization among them, and some may be members of Hezbollah, MSNBC said.
Go get 'em, Marines!
