Steve Centanni:

Attacks were highly coordinated and well planned.

Two different US convoys ~ one on the East and one on West were attacked at about the same time. Iraqis were well-armed, attacked with RPGs, mortars, rifle fire, and grenades ~ all at the same time.

One of the American convoys approached an enemy roadblock, attackers hit our troops from rooftops. Both US convoys responded from their locations.

US responded with cannon fire, tanks, rifle fire...killing 46 Iraqis, injuring 18 others...destroying 3 buildings.

About an hour later, convoy of US engineers came under fire, returned fire and hit the attackers.

Bad day for the bad guys. (^;

Strike one ~~Steve Centanni~~.

No more coffee for me.

FN: Lt. Col. Tim Eads: "US forces were incredibly well prepared for this...We are able to secure our convoys very well, and pity be to the guy who decides to go after one of our convoys."
