Hek-trained jihadis in Basrah attack?
2004-07-05
Insurgents fired rockets at a government building in southern Iraq early Monday, but instead struck nearby homes, wounding eight people, police said. The attacks that occurred shortly after midnight were directed at the province's main offices near the center of the city. The insurgents "missed and hit nearby homes instead," said Capt. Mushtaq Khaled of the Basra Police. The condition of the wounded was not immediately known.

#1  Sounds like the same situation as the Captain and the recruits in Stripes.

"Fire that mortar, son, your government has spent plenty on it."
"But we are not set up yet."
"Fire it, now."

Seargent Hulka: "Incoming!!!!"
