I just find it a little suspicious that the first coordinated and sustained attack from these "insugents" in months was against a convoy loaded with money. If the reports of this fire fight are accurate- the attackers had mustered 70 to 100 men for this ambush. The insurgents thus far have not been able to muster anything like those numbers for such a large and sustained fire fight. But a criminal gang could and could do so without rousing suspicion or be picked up by our intel. I think we would have seen smaller engagements and incremental increases in attacks by the insurgents. This seems like too big of a leap for them. Just my two cents worth. I would like to know how much money the troops were delivering to see if it would be worth it for a large gang of criminals to risk such a large "armed robbery" attempt.
