It happened in Mosul boxerblues. God be with them.

Blast at U.S. Base in Mosul, Many Casualties - U.S.

MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - An explosion at a U.S. military base in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Tuesday caused many casualties, the U.S. military said in a statement.

"At 12 p.m. today an explosion occurred at a U.S. military installation in Mosul causing multiple casualties," it said, giving no details. "The cause of the explosion is under investigation."

Lieutenant Colonel Paul Hastings, a spokesman for Task Force Olympia in Mosul, said he would release no more details for the time being.

Mosul, Iraq's third biggest city, has seen incessant violence for the past few weeks since Sunni Arab insurgents routed the U.S.-trained police force in November while many U.S. forces were concentrated on storming guerrilla bases in Falluja.

Ethnic tensions have also been inflamed in a city that is home to both Arabs and Kurds.
