Battle narratives cling to Iraq attack evidence and casualties
Military officials questioned whether a self inflicted blast caused the explosion near Mosul, noting shrapnel patterns and ball bearings as potential indicators. Myers and Rumsfeld emphasized ongoing investigations, while asserting that U S led forces are winning the fight against insurgents and protecting against further terrorism. The toll from the mess tent attack stood at 22 dead, including 13 U S military personnel and five civilian contractors, with 69 wounded and 25 expected to return to duty.
