[lbo-talk] Close, but no cigar

[Stephen Philion]

In another incident Tuesday, grenade rounds were fired at a compound near
Fallouja where ABC journalist Ted Koppel was reporting. U.S. soldiers
returned fire, and at least three Iraqis were wounded, said Darley, the
military spokesman.

Koppel and his "Nightline" crew were traveling with the Army's 82nd Airborne
Division for a story on the military unit's work. One stop was at a "youth
center they are working to refurbish," said Leroy Sievers, executive
producer of "Nightline," who is traveling with Koppel.

The anchor had finished his interviews and the ABC team was waiting for the
82nd Airborne to finish up so they could leave when "two RPGs were fired.
One went over the walled compound," Sievers said by phone. The second landed
short of the compound.
