| 2003-11-23 |
| ISKANDARIYAH, Iraq – Iraqi civilians warned personnel from the Iraqi Railroad of an improvised explosive device placed on the tracks near Iskandariyah early this morning. The Iraqis flagged down the train to show them exactly where it was located. The IED was made from three 155mm artillery rounds, all linked together. An explosive ordnance disposal team, attached to the 82nd Airborne Division, arrived at the scene and disarmed the IED. The rail line reopened at approximately 1:00 p.m. |

| #1 This is good news. Iraqis seem to be starting to come forward in greater numbers to make their voices heard and help end this wave of terrorism. I think a large part of the problem is that for decades they spent their lives to keep their heads below the radar and now we're asking them to come forward and be proactive. It will take a generation to heal the damage that Saddam has done to the Iraqi psyche. |
