The intensity seems to be growing all of a sudden. Could it be we're getting too close to whatever/whomever the loyalists are trying to protect?

The Marines recieved a tip that there was a leadership target in the north of the city by a mosque. The Marines arrived on the scene and a huge firefight erupted. One marine was killed and 22 were injured in the fighting. All of the Iraqis were captured or killed. The leadership caravan escaped. That's how it was reported on Fox/CNN. This occurred today.
