These guys mean business
The Washington Post reported today that an attack Sunday on the U.S. Government's headquarters in Najaf by hundreds of Iraqi militia members was repulsed not by the U.S. military but by eight commandos from the Blackwater Security Consulting firm which also sent in its own helicopters carrying ammo and subsequently taking out a wounded U.S. Marine. Reportedly thousands of rounds were fired and hundreds of 40mm grenades shot. The Iraqis suffered an unspecified number of casualties.
