#1 From CentCom this morning (keep in mind when reading MSM accounts of atrocities against civilians, which will undoubtedly morph this into wanton murder of dozens of women and children):

AR RAMADI, Iraq Four civilians were evacuated to Camp Taqqadum for medical treatment of injuries sustained from mortar fire in northern Sofia directed against insurgent forces Nov. 26.

After establishing positive identification, Coalition Forces engaged insurgents who were gathering in preparation to attack an Albu Soda tribal check point.

One of the injured, a 64-year-old man, stated that several boys ran toward the area of impacts and he then chased them in an effort to move them to safety. The gentlemen and three boys ages 16, 13 and 6 were injured.

All the injured civilians went to a check point and were taken to Camp Taqqadum by Coalition Forces for treatment. None of the injuries is life threatening.
