Michael Yon: Hunting Al Qaeda Part III of III

The last part of a series of dispatches from Michael Yon in Iraq:

Some of the 1920s were about 300 meters down the road by now, and walking into the ambush that had apparently been set for us. BOOOOOMMMM! The detonation looked like it must have killed five or ten of them. What comes next is often shooting and more bombs, so I dove for cover while turning on the video camera, and since I have been practicing shooting both cameras at the same time, got some still shots. The firing went on and on. I wasn’t sure if it was just our guys (meaning Americans, IAs and 1920s) firing, or if we were in a real firefight.

He has posted video of the firefight too.

WARNING: There are graphic photos from the fighting - so be forewarned:
