#2 An unmanned observation aircraft identified three individuals loitering approximately 15 kilometers north of Baâqubah in a palm grove previously used by the enemy to fire mortars at Forward Operating Base Warhorse. The three individuals were joined by seven other men and began to emplace what appeared to be a rocket or mortar. An AH-64 Apache helicopter sent to investigate at approximately 8:50 p.m. observed the individuals attempting to flee. 2 Brigade Combat Team artillery fired at the location, killing at least one enemy. Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment went to the site and found one complete 120 mm mortar system, one mortar base plate and one 120 mm mortar round. The remains of the attacker were turned over to Iraqi police. Soldiers are assessing whether there were additional casualties.

I vigorously protest the issuance of clearly inferior materiel to our boys in Iraq. That UAV clearly should have been armed.
