BAGHDAD: In a coordinated assault on an American combat outpost north of Baghdad, suicide bombers drove three cars laden with explosives into the base, killing two American soldiers and wounding at least 17 more, according to witnesses and the American military.
BAGHDAD, Feb. 19 -- A U.S. military facility north of Baghdad was targeted Monday by suicide bombers and other armed men who killed three American soldiers and wounded 17 in an unusually brazen attack.
The facility, a former Iraqi police station in the town of Tarmiyah, came under attack shortly before dawn, according to a witness and the spokesman for the local joint coordination center, Capt. Muhammad Awad.
The outpost, established in the abandoned police headquarters in the center of the town, was fortified by large blast walls. Americans typically keep one company of about 100 soldiers at such outposts.

hey Jesus--
how come you never answer your comments?
I never thought about answering the comments. I will answer them from now on. Thanks for commenting. And by the way, I like you blog.
One of the reasons that I like your blog is it has original well thought out material presented in an original voice. A lot of my blog is just a pointer to some particular event that I think holds significance in the "movement" or the "direction" of history.
