CNN just gave more info - think I posted it here (working 2 threads) but newest info is 8 injured, six seriously. Someone penetrated the tent section and lobbed hand grenades into two tents, hitting the highest leadership positions of that unit. Said they have trucks in and out all the time for supplies. Bad security - they simply need to work on this in all our locations.

So that might explain the report of an Italian intelligence officer in control of the scene?

One of the bad aspects about advertising so broadly and so constantly that we are attempting to avoid civilian casualties (and that our societies get so upset about civilian casualties) is that we open ourselves to assymetrical or guerrilla warfare conducted by those who pass as civilian -- I thought this the other day when Diogenesis posted a photo of Iraqi prisoners being taken who had civilian clothes on over their uniforms.
We are inviting these tactics, and that won't be lost on our enemies.
