| 2005-11-04 | |
| Task Force Baghdad dispatched elements to the scene where two terrorists attempting to build a car bomb were killed when the device prematurely detonated in central Baghdad Nov. 2. Elements dispatched included an explosives ordnance disposal team and a patrol from 6th Squadron, 8th Calvary Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team. The explosion also killed an Iraqi civilian and set a nearby house on fire. Iraqi firefighters responded to douse the flames. The EOD team determined the terrorists had been building the vehicle-carried improvised explosive device using a 122 mm projectile, ball bearings and about 80 pounds of homemade explosives. During a sweep of the house, the 6-8 Cav. Soldiers found another 122 mm projectile, five hand grenades, three A-47 assault rifles, an RPK machine gun and AK-47 magazines.

| #16 one hopes that this is a result of the recent captures and deaths of several leading AQ types at the hands of Coalition forces, leading to more amateurish bombmakers. |

| #15 tipper, if you are using two different computers, try changing the cookies to tipper(@home) and tipper(@work) to fix the problem. If you're using a laptop at two different locations, though, I've no clever advice. |

| #13 Verlaine in Iraq. I think it was my post, although I didn't make any comment. My problem is that I commute between my small farm full of kangaroos and rabbits and sheep and my city property. I think the cookie gets confused between the two. |

| #5 Verlaine, it's a cookie problem; if your cookies don't "stick", you have to comment first with your nick, and then post the article, it should be ok (works for me anyway). |
