Asked to explain the absence of bullet holes, Lt-Col Nantz said that the iraqi fire had gone over the soldiers heads. We were taken to see two bullet holes in an upper window, and some marks on a wall, but they were on another side of the school building.

There are other troubling questions. Lt-Col Nantz said that the troops had been fired on from a house across the road. Several light machine guns were produced which the Americans said were found at the scene. If true, this was an Iraqi suicide mission - anyone attacking the post from a fixed position within 40 yards would have had no chance of survival.
