Iraq Mortar Attack Wounds 35 U.S. Soldiers
By MICHELLE FAUL
Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq --
Anti-American insurgents fired mortar rounds at a U.S. military camp
Wednesday night, wounding 35 U.S. soldiers, the U.S. command said.
Six mortar rounds exploded about 6:45 p.m. at Logistical Base Seitz
west of Baghdad, a U.S. military spokesman said in a statement.
The camp is located in the so-called Sunni Muslim triangle that is a
stronghold of resistance to the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
"The wounded soldiers were given first aid and have been evacuated
from the site for further medical treatment," the statement said.
The Pentagon added that the soldiers were from the Army's 541st
Maintenance Battalion, based in Fort Riley, Kan., and part of the 3rd
Corps Support Command.
The mortars hit "a living area where they have their sleeping
quarters," the spokesman said.
A Pentagon spokesman said that some of those wounded returned to duty
shortly after the attack, while others were hospitalized.
The spokesman, Lt. Col. James Cassella, said he did not know how many
were seriously or lightly wounded.

wounding 35 U.S. soldiers
Such a vague word. It can mean a cut finger or the loss of a leg, or
permanent brain damage.
