Day 105 / Mar 14

Day 105 / Mar 14

            It was a mostly quiet day, nothing big going on.

Something happened down the street (outside the FOB).  It was a very fast series of decent sized explosions one right after another.  My first thought was that it was mortars landing someone outside the wire, but in order to have been mortars, there would have had to have been at least 6 mortar tube firing all about the same time – which is highly unlikely.   I suspect that on the Iraqi FOB down the street, someone did something stupid with a box of explosives, grenades maybe and set them all off at about the same time – or set one off and caused a series of secondary explosions.
