| Spanish Base In Iraq’s Najaf Comes Under Mortar Fire |
| 2004-04-21 |
| A Spanish base in south-central Iraq came under mortar fire twice overnight but suffered no casualties or damage, a multinational force spokesman said Wednesday. Coalition forces were unable to find the attackers, who fired several mortar rounds at the Najaf base of the Spanish-led Plus Ultra brigade, which also includes troops from El Salvador, Dominican Republic and Honduras. The radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who has waged an insurgency against the U.S.-led occupation in the area around Najaf with his large militia, has announced he won’t attack troops from countries planning to withdraw and it wasn’t clear who staged the attack. |

| #7 I guess the Spainards aren't pulling out fast enough to appease the jihadi-fascists. Vaya con Allah, Senor Zapatero. The word 'machismo' should be stricken from the Spainish language. Next up: motar fire on the Honduran contingent. |

| #6 Man, if only Montazuma has shown a little pluck we'd all be speaking Aztec now. |

| #4 Of course it wasn't Sadr. Appeasement always works -- just ask Chamberland! Peace in our time! |
