US Marines Foot Patrol Ambushed By Insurgents In Zaidon - Iraq, Video at link
2008-05-09
"The Firefight happened In Zaidon north of the Euphrates River, Marines were been told to keep engaging the enemy until close air support arrived, and at the end the airsupport came and dropped a JDAM 500 lbs bomb on insurgents, and only one marine got shot in his left leg in the firefight while he was reloading his weapon"

If you listen closely you will hear the insurgents screaming Allah Akbar before they start shooting at marines.

You can hear a lot of snapping from the incoming rounds.

#6  That's a roger. I wish I could talk a bit more about what he has passed on. It's not classified of course, but it does violate OPSEC. Suffice it to say there are a lot islamic criminals taking dirt naps because of their efforts.

#1  Allah akhbar? That would make it jihad. Of course, the State Department doesn't use that word. Who were the Marines fighting? North of the Euphrates could mean: Mahdi Army.
