| #4 US troops are surrounding the Sadrites at all points north of the UK occupation zone. Its time for Iraqi nationalists to show what they can do. Check out this map: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7155/257/1600/baghdad_situation_oct_28.jpg |

| #3 This sounds like a "Use it or Lose it" strike : the bombs were in place and had to be used before they were discovered by Allied forces. Expect several more of these over the next week, as the terrorists assemble and use everything that they have in place, rather than lose it to the coming sweep. |

| #2 Just because Sadr City is sealed doesn't mean there weren't explosives already present there. We've scarcely gone house to house and / or probed for all the buried stuff in that sector. |

| #1 Supposedly US & Iarqi forces had Sadr City sealed off. See companion piece in this Rantburg section: Twofold Operation Seals Sadr City :Locals Up in Arms I guess not. Makes one wonder if the bomb trucks were given an Iraqi Army 'escort' into Sadr City. |
