Don't know if you all saw this: (the good news- Rick is at Cropper. The bad- half of the CSH he deployed with is at Bucca)
Prisoners wounded in attack
In southern Iraq, an apparent rocket attack at the U.S.-run Camp Bucca military prison killed at least six detainees and wounded 50, the military said. No American casualties were reported.
The U.S. military oversees more than 20,000 inmates at Camp Bucca in southern Iraq and Camp Cropper, near the Baghdad airport. Military officials refuse to give a breakdown of how many prisoners are at each facility but say the majority are at Camp Bucca.
The suicide tank truck driver killed the 14 Iraqi soldiers near the gate of the army unit’s headquarters near Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of the capital, provincial police spokesman Capt. Muthanna Khalid said. Twenty-nine others were wounded.
Iraqi soldiers opened fire on the speeding truck but were not able to stop it until it reached the unit headquarters and the driver detonated his explosives.
Amir al-Saadi, a 40-year-old vendor who works nearby, said the explosion flattened the army unit’s headquarters building.
“The explosion was huge and caused the building to collapse,” he said. “Police, soldiers and residents are searching for bodies and people who are still alive but buried under the rubble.”
