The Marines attacked Nasiriyah PRIOR to the rescue operation for Jessica. From the
Wash Post:
U.S. Marines sent a large force led by tanks and armored personnel carriers to hit targets in the center of the city and to seize a key bridge over the Euphrates while the hospital raid was underway," a military source told the news agency. "The operation was timed so that U.S. forces rolled over the highway . . . bridge 15 minutes before the raid."
The Marine attack drew enemy forces away from the hospital where she was held.
