Embed Greg Kelly checks in
Fox Embed Greg Kelly: There's alot of fighting going on.. there's lots of Fedayeen and RG who are angry that we are here at the palace... that was the idea... 100 Fedayeen coming this way .. warthogs strafing them... Officers here very interested in Fox report about Saddam... heard nothing through channels... implications for political situation in Baghdad.. legwork in place for collapse Lauire Dhue: What kind of counterattack? Kelly: RPG armed guys 50-100 fighters in pickup trucks ...not really effective, but keeps the guys busy Dhue: What's next? Kelly: Priority 1 is this counter attack.. tanks... air support.. once that's wrapped up.. expand presence in city.. just wanted to point out that we've lost 4 reporters.. from 15 of us on the bus coming out Dhue: David Bloom? Kelly: I didn't know him well... well liked.. also Michael Kelly.... reporters from Spain and Germany in locations we had occupied were killed... we're ready for this to be over.. soldiers are too...

Posted by: aby normal at April 8, 2003 02:25 AM4 of 15? That's a horrific attrition rate. Especially given the ~70/250,000 rate for the military. Posted by: Jonathan at April 8, 2003 02:26 AMYup...this war's been particularly hard on the reporters...although I know some people who would think that would be fitting for the press, I do think it should make people think about what they are doing before they sign up for war zone activities!
