CNN: Pentagon captures 170 soldiers at hospital
CNN's Jamie McIntyre reports that the Pentagon is again charging Iraq with breaking the Geneva Convention. American forces have captured 170 paramilitary fighters in civilian clothing, holed up in a Red Cross hospital in Nasiriya. In addition, they found 200 weapons, 3,000 chemical suits and masks, and various Iraqi military uniforms. The Pentagon says Iraq was using the hospital as a staging area, from which they would launch "terrorist" attacks in Nasiriya. There were no civilians in the hospital at the time of seizure.

There were no civilians in the hospital at the time of seizure.I wonder where the patients went? My guess is that if Iraq held the hospital, they'd drag a couple of the patients back to the hospital and tell them to tell the cameras that they were injured by those Zionist Anglo-Americans.
