Iraq
Ambulance 'used in attack'
2003-03-31
THREE US troops were wounded, one seriously, after Iraqi soldiers used a Red Crescent ambulance to stage an attack in southern Iraq, a US Air Force source has said. The Iraqi troops opened fire on a group of American soldiers who had approached the ambulance at a town north of Nasiriyah, the source said. The seriously injured soldier would be evacuated, while two others were undergoing surgery at a captured air base, the source added. The Red Crescent, the Muslim equivalent of the Red Cross, has been delivering aid to impoverished locals in territory in southern Iraq which has been captured by the US-led coalition.
Sounds like pure Paleotactics, doesn't it?

#1  Paleotactics? Sounds like they're getting pretty creative to me. Although, the end result may not work to their favor if we start treating ambulances as combat vehicles and hospitals as bunkers. But by playing us for the sweethearts or saps that we are, they're getting the last laugh (before we kill them, of course).
