#2 WTF?? illegal bridge?

I would guess that US, Iraqi Army, and Iraqi Police forces have checkpoints on all of the bridges to limit insurgent/terrorist movement, and especially movement of VBIEDs. The enemy solution, I guess, was to build themselves a bridge -- likely a pretty ramshackle affair, but good enough to get a Fiat Panda full of 152mm shells across. Almost certainly not the Tigris, cuz the Tigris is big, but possibly the Army Canal or Nahr Diyala or some overgrown sewage runoff.
