David Connolly told the Associated Press. Connolly did not say where the report came from and said he could not confirm its veracity nor whether the military convoy was the target. Sgt. 1st Class David Dismukes, a US military spokesman, said that, according to an initial report, the shots were fired from a car, adding that no injuries have been reported. No further details, including information on who fired the reported shots, were immediately available.Just passing Islamists, saying "hello" on their way to a picnic...
