BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two U.S. convoys were attacked less than a mile apart in Baghdad on Sunday, and U.S. soldiers in one of the attacks opened fire, killing an Iraqi driving nearby and wounding six others, witnesses and hospital officials said.



The violence in the capital came as Iraqi security officials investigated who was behind one of the most sophisticated guerrilla attacks yet in Iraq (news - web sites) — a bold daylight assault by dozens of fighters on a police station in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, in which 25 people were killed, most of them policemen.


One U.S. Military Police officer was among those wounded in Saturday's assault, said Col. William Darley, a military spokesman.


There were conflicting reports of who may have been behind the attacks.


Police said foreign fighters, either Arabs or Iranians, were involved and that two of four attackers killed in the battle had Lebanese identification papers. Rumors spread in the city that an Iraqi Shiite Muslim militia with links to Iran, the Badr Brigade, was responsible.

4. You are not alone in this

There are a lot of people sending positive thoughts your way to keep your stepson safe.

My fifteen year old is typing up a term paper as I write this about the IraqNam disaster and will hand it in to his RW english teacher tomorrow. He has a 4.0 grade average right now and he knows this will bust his average because his teacher will penalize him for his position. He says he doesn't care because someone has to stop this madness before more people are hurt. :-) proud of that boy.

I cannot even imagine him being drafted and sent to one of the moron's wars.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. We will toss out the tyrant in the WH and elect someone who can end the madness, hopefully sooner rather than later.
