Gun battle leaves 3 insurgents dead
 Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldiers battled with insurgents in the Doura neighborhood of Baghdad Aug. 20 leaving three suspected terrorists dead. Troops from Company D, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, attached to the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Inf. Div, heard gunfire near a bridge and went to investigate. When the “Warriors” saw a checkpoint taking fire, they engaged one insurgent with small arms fire, killing him. Twenty minutes later, the troops began taking small arms fire and noticed numerous suspected insurgents armed with AK-47s and PKC machine guns preparing fighting positions. The troops once again opened fire killing two more insurgents. Combat aviation elements were called in for support but did not fire. There were no Coalition casualties from either incident.
