The untold story of the battle against the ‘Soldiers of Heaven’

The untold story of the battle against the ‘Soldiers of Heaven’ - Army News, opinions, editorials, news from Iraq, photos, reports - Army Times: "The 11 Special Forces soldiers were speeding along in three Humvees. The call for help had come from an Iraqi army scout.

The Iraqis had moved a little after dawn to arrest what they thought were about 30 potential troublemakers.

The SF team members had no clue they were racing into a 24-hour battle, vastly outnumbered and outgunned by a heavily armed militia of about 800 cult-like Shiite warriors.
