US Promises to Punish Those Responsible for Gruesome Iraq Attacks
The top U.S. official in Iraq says Wednesday's gruesome attacks on four American civilians whose burned bodies were put on display in the town of Fallujah will not go unpunished.
"It's going to be deliberate, it will be precise and it will be overwhelming," U.S. General Mark Kimmitt said, speaking to reporters in Baghdad. He warned insurgents in the town of Fallujah to be prepared for U.S. forces to strike back following Wednesday's killing of four American contractors by a frenzied mob that dragged their charred bodies through the streets.
Televised footage of the act has provoked outrage from Americans in the United States and led U.S. administrator in Baghdad Paul Bremer to issue a warning.
"Their deaths will not go unpunished," he promised.
The White House blamed the attacks on supporters of Saddam Hussein. The remains of the four were to be turned over to the U.S. military.
A day after the attack, three American soldiers were injured in another attack near Fallujah, this time when their Humvee struck a roadside bomb.

I would do it but I don't trust my computer skills, or lack there of. I know how to post a regular thread but there is more to it than that for the TM thread. I'm afraid I would mess it up.

Just trying to catch up! Re- timed mines- recall the report (somewhere here) that NK was missing a large number of mines from a storage facility?
Any horrific news tonight? I just came through NYC via rail.

(here is a later version of what I posted last night....a little more info...comments are writers)
CHP BOLO (Be On The Lookout) ISSUED FOR FIVE SEMIS
5 semi trucks travelling south on the I-5 from Medford Oregon. All
5 trucks from different trucking companies (Solis Bros, Swift, DPL,
2 others I cant remember now), travelling TOGETHER. Stopping at
EVERY rest stop between their last known position (Coalinga) and
Medford. Talking on CB channel 25 instead of normal channel 17.
Speaking Arabic to each other. Two of the drivers were seen taking
a large metal box from the cab of one of the rigs at one of the
stops.
All in all just "Acting Suspicious" enough that somebody
(presumabely the Feds., since they issued the BOLO) decided it might
be a good idea to have a chat with them...
At 11:30 pm CHP set up to intercept them at Skirball Cyn Rd. off the
405. Dont know WHY the CHP might think they had gotten OFF the 5 or
why they might be on the 405, ([speculation mode: ON] except maybe
that its a few miles before LAX, and LAX is a known target...
[speculation mode: OFF]) but that's the last I heard...
