| IRAQI, U.S. SECURITY FORCES ATTACKED FROM MOSQUE KALSU, Iraq – Coalition and Iraqi forces received gunfire and rocket-propelled grenade fire from insurgents inside a mosque near Iskandariyah, Iraq March 26. Company D, 3rd Battalion, 309th Parachute Infantry Regiment and Iraqi security force personnel positively identified that the attack was coming from the Al Wasafa mosque and minaret and requested an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter from the 4th Squadron, 227th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion to engage the insurgents in the mosque. No significant damage was done to the mosque, but bullet holes can be seen in the mosque walls. A War Crime, committed by the Great Satan against the Religion of Peace! Iraqi forces entered the mosque to pursue the insurgents and the U.S. forces secured the area outside. A military transition team from Forward Operating Base Iskan assisted in the pursuit of insurgents following the attack. The Iraqi Security Forces and paratroopers respect the sanctity of mosques by taking precautions to minimize damage to property and disruption of legitimate activities when operating around such sites. Firing RPGs at Americans IS a 'legitimate activity' - it says so in the Koran someplace; I'm sure that's what the imam said. Injured insurgents were given immediate medical care by Iraqi security forces and taken to area hospitals. Where they will receive excellent medical care until succumbing to their injuries? One insurgent was killed and two were wounded. |

| #8 Today there are no officiating Aztec temples in Mexico or Nazi indoctrination camps in Germany. Moslems may profit from these examples. |

| #7 Bulldoze the mosque with everyone inside. There is a limited number of mosques Eventually there will be no more attacks from mosques. |

| #6 No significant damage was done to the mosque They say that like it's a good thing. Do they honestly think that the mosque's imam was held at knife point while those insurgents abused its sacred soil? So long as we leave these known enemy outposts standing, they will serve as fortifications for our foes. |

| #5 Just go ahead and bomb all mosques to prevent future attacks and to destroy enemy amo dumps. Seems like the prudent thing to do. If you bomb both Sunni and Shi'ite mosques it might also help to eliminate that bone of contention between them. They might even forget about jihad if they don't have the clerics preaching it to them. |

| #4 2000lb JDAM should have mosque homing sensors built right in. Just to save time you understand. |

| #3 Really. What needs to happen here is every time that there is fire from a mosque, we film it, then hit it with a 2000lb JDAM. You wanna keep your mosque? Keep people from firing from it. Thatisall. |

| #2 "Injured insurgents were given immediate medical care by Iraqi security forces and taken to area hospitals." You know, like CPR when they've been shot in the chest. (Thus leading to the rumor among some of the doctors that there are vampires in Iraq.) |
