In Washington Post on 3/31/03: Navy Lt. Cdr. Charles Owens... said Iraqi paramilitary forces known as Fedayeen were involved in the attack on the 507th Maintenance Company that left two of the 507th soldiers dead, four wounded, five captured and eight missing.

Among the 507th's wounded are Spc James Grubb of El Paso, and Cpl. Damien Luten of Indianapolis. Luten was shown in ... photographs last week with a teddy bear tied to his stretcher as he was being taken to Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C.

He told his mother...that a group of Marines saved him and some other members of the 507th. "A couple of guys got shot up pretty bad," he told her.
