At least seven were badly wounded by artillery fire believed to have come from their own lines.

This is very unfortunate. Hopefully they will be able to pause a moment and re-organize to avoid such problems in the future as much as possible.

Under the codename Operation James, Alpha, Bravo and Delta rifle companies, each of more than 120 men, advanced on foot at first light along a wide front to try to trap Iraqi forces up against the Shatt al Arab waterway.

Why first light? Don't they have night vision? (I am probably missing something...)
