Prayers for your son. Sounds like the troops at the com. center are handling things professionally:

FN: Ben Johnson, FOX satellite engineer:  The attack came between 1 and 2 am. EST, sounded like very low flying jet...turned out that it has been a misiled attack...first thought of the troops...taking peple out of the burning building...regroup ...get ops back on line...the tactical ops center is nerve center of brigade ops...coordinating efforts of brigade's assets...don't know whether it was ff or Iraqi missile..."best we can tell it was an enemy missile attack on our location"...2 journalists killed, one from Spain, one from Germany..tactical operation center is a collection of armored vehicles that can operate essentially anywhere...the situation inside the building now is charred ruins...soldiers are in there recovering...sensitive documents, equipment....they are in contact with the people they need to be in contact w/ to conduct battle in Baghdad.
