RoP Humanitarian Mission in Sadr City
BAGHDAD Iraqi Army soldiers and innocent Iraq civilians were attacked by small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades during a humanitarian mission in the Sadr City district of Baghdad at approximately 10 a.m. April 5.Iraqi Army soldiers were handing out water and food to local residents when the attack from criminals occurred. Two innocent civilians were wounded in the attack. A military transition team with Multi-National Division Baghdad was supporting the Iraqi Army soldiers prior to the attack. The IA soldiers immediately returned fire. No killed or wounded from the criminal attackers has been confirmed. Better get these soldiers some more range time. These criminals have terrorized the civilians of Sadr City, preventing them from working or providing for their families, said Lt. Col. John Digiambattista, operations officer for the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. This was a humanitarian aid mission trying to make life better for innocent Iraqi citizens. If their lives are made better then their would-be 'leaders' will have more trouble inciting them to bitch at & attack the current government. This mission was attacked by dishonorable criminals who are ignoring al-Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadrs ceasefire." Posted by: Glenmore 2008-04-06 |
