CENTCOM silent

A car bomb exploded by the al-Jazirah wooden bridge in the village of al-Jazirah near ar-Ramadi at 3:25pm Monday afternoon. The correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam reported local witnesses as saying that the booby-trapped Volvo car was parked by the side of the road at the bottom of the bridge. A US column approached on its way to do its usual round of patrols but spotted the car. Seven American troops left the column and approached the car, fearful that it might be booby trapped.

When the US soldiers got close, the car exploded. The local police told Mafkarat al-Islam that the Americans had not been able to find all the remains of their dead soldiers because many were blown to pieces by the force of the blast and charred bits of bodies and small pieces of limbs were scattered all over the place. Local witnesses confirmed that fact.
