Guess that means the cease-fire is off, right?
2004-03-22
Al Qaeda fighters attacked army camp today just hours after the military called a ceasefire for tribal elders to try and negotiate the militants' surrender. Residents said rockets were fired at the army camp in the western town of Wana today. Militants and troops then exchanged fire for about two hours. There was no immediate word on casualties, though gunfire could also be heard from the area to the west of the town where troops and militants have been battling.
This is kinda like Groundhog Day, isn't it? Every time there's a ceasefire, they use it as an opportunity to mount a surprise attack. They're been doing it since Og and Oop were fighting over who got the cave.

#1  Obviously a diversionary attack intended to facilitate the escape of Usama bin Laden. With luck, US forces are tracking the bastard as it wonders into an ambush.
