Coalition Forces Kill Samarra IED Guys (& wimmen, kids & baby ducks)
Coalition Forces engage enemy (Samarra) October 23, 2007 SAMARRA, Iraq A suspected insurgent and improvised explosive device cell member was identified among the killed in an engagement between Coalition Forces and suspected IED emplacers just north of Samarra Oct 23. During the engagement, insurgents used a nearby house as a safe haven to re-engage coalition aircraft. A known member of an IED cell was among the 11 killed during the multiple engagements. Re-engaging US aircraft in Iraq should about qualify one for a Darwin Award. According to local nationals, four other military-age males, five women and one child were among the dead, and five military-age males were wounded. Local nationals evacuated the wounded to Tikrit National Hospital. Good chance this collateral damage is even real - it's gonna happen when bad guys shoot at our air assets from your roof. Circumstances regarding the engagement are under review. Posted by: Glenmore 2007-10-23 |
