2. I think it's the same grenade attack reported earlier

In Baghdad, military officials said the soldier was killed when insurgents dropped a grenade on his convoy as it drove below an overpass, the military said. Three soldiers were wounded.

It took the military hours to confirm the details of the attack Monday. Witnesses had given reporters varying accounts earlier in the day, saying at least three U.S. soldiers were wounded or killed in the attack.

The witnesses said the victims were in a canvas-top Humvee moving along Palestine Street in central Baghdad.

3. CBSNews had it

CBS interviewed an Iraqi eyewitness.

What he described was horrific....

said the soldier's head was blown off, and the brains of the
one (soldier?) behind too.


damn you Mr.Bush,
May you rot in hell.

on edit:

a grenade? was dropped from an above highway.
Looked like an elevated highway, and from that 'bridge'
some explosive(grenade?) was dropped onto the US military
vehicle , which killed & wounded.....

We better get control of that place and do it fast. The window of opportunity is closing.
