In the Bush-created quagmire, Sunday, November 23 |
Bahaa Jassim, a teenager, said the soldiers' vehicle crashed into a
wall after the shooting.
Several dozen passers-by then descended on the wreckage, looting the
car of weapons and the soldiers' backpacks.
After the soldiers' bodies fell into the street, the crowd pummeled
them with concrete blocks, Jassim said.

MOSUL, Iraq -
Gunmen killed two American soldiers driving through this northern
Iraqi city Sunday, and then a crowd swarmed the scene, looting the
soldiers' vehicle and pummeling their bodies, witnesses said.
Another soldier was killed in a roadside bombing north of Baghdad.
Elsewhere, three American civilian contractors were wounded in an
explosion in the northern oil center of Kirkuk.
First reports said the blast was from a mortar, but U.S. Lt. Col. Matt
Croke said officials later concluded it was from a bomb.
The 101st Airborne Division said its soldiers in Mosul were shot while
driving between U.S. garrisons.
Several witnesses also said the soldiers were shot during the attack
in the Ras al-Jadda district, though earlier reports by witnesses said
assailants slit the soldiers' throats.
Bahaa Jassim, a teenager, said the soldiers' vehicle crashed into a
wall after the shooting.
Several dozen passers-by then descended on the wreckage, looting the
car of weapons and the soldiers' backpacks.
After the soldiers' bodies fell into the street, the crowd pummeled
them with concrete blocks, Jassim said.
A U.S. patrol then arrived and cordoned off the area, he said.
At a Sunday news conference, a U.S. military official would not
discuss the circumstances surrounding the Mosul deaths.
"It is our policy that we do not go into specific details on injuries
sustained by soldiers," said Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the U.S.
military deputy director for operations.
"We're not going to get ghoulish about this."
Mosul has seen increasing anti-occupation violence after months of
relative quiet.
Iraq's third-largest city, it lies between the so-called "Sunni
Triangle" where attacks on American forces have been intense and the
northern Kurdish-dominated areas where support of the U.S. is higher.
A 4th Infantry Division soldier was killed Sunday and two others were
wounded when a roadside bomb exploded in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast
of Baghdad, the military said.
Kimmitt also said the Iraqi chief of police in Latifiyah, about 20
miles south of Baghdad, and two officers were killed Sunday when the
car they were riding in was attacked by small-arms fire.
U.S. officials have warned of more attacks against coalition forces as
the Islamic holy month of Ramadan nears its end Tuesday.
In political developments, an Iraqi-American woman and veteran
lobbyist, Rend Rahim Francke, was chosen as Iraq's ambassador to the
United States.
U.S. officials have warned of more attacks against coalition forces as
the Islamic holy month of Ramadan nears its end Tuesday.
The blast in Kirkuk, 150 miles north of Baghdad, occurred overnight on
the compound of the National Oil Co.
Three American employees of the U.S. firm Kellogg Brown & Root
suffered facial cuts from flying glass, Croke said.

I'd love to see South Park do up an Iraqi occupation episode and have
Kenny go out the same way. It's too, too comical.

Golly, these ungratful "liberated" Iraqis sure don't know how to say
"thank you."

Perhaps they said - "Thank you Mr. American terrorist for allowing me to
crush your head with this cinder block." before expressing their love of the
ongoing campaign of BushTerror in Iraq.
