48. -07-27-08 Incident on Baghdad's Airport Road (Time.com)
    "According to a U.S. military press release..., a car carrying 'three criminals' opened fire on a convoy of U.S. troops stopped on the roadside on the way to Baghdad International Airport at 8:40 a.m. 'The Soldiers [from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division] returned fire, which resulted in the vehicle running off the road and striking a wall. The vehicle then exploded,' read the release. The military statement also said 'a weapon was recovered from the wreckage,' and 'two MND-B convoy vehicles received bullet hole damage from the small arms fire.' But the Iraqi police report, which was obtained by TIME, had a different account: 'Twenty-seven bullet holes [were found] on the right-hand side of [Mehdi's] car. [We] found two bullets of caliber 50 mm inside the car... We did not see or find any weapons or empty cartridges inside the car.' "
    
    "For the past year, the road to Baghdad's airport, where Mehdi's car burned that morning, has been one of the most heavily secured roads in Baghdad. The Iraqi government has contracted a private British security firm, Global Strategies Group, to control a series of checkpoints leading up to the airport, which include multiple ID checks and a car X-ray scan for explosives. At one checkpoint, passengers are asked to exit the car completely, leaving all doors open, including the trunk and hood, while Global security guards lead sniffer dogs around each car, checking inside and outside again for explosives."
    
    "Like the Iraqi police report, the Global statement said that no weapons had been found at the scene and that Mehdi's car had been searched at all of the Global checkpoints prior to the incident. It also stated there was 'no evidence' the three people in the car had displayed any hostility towards the American convoy."
    
    "According to a Global Security statement obtained by TIME, the American platoon had been on its way to a military base near the airport, when they were forced to pull over because one humvee was having engine trouble. It said that one of the soldiers on the ground said he thought he heard gunfire and alerted the others through their headsets. The gunner of the first humvee quickly rotated in his turret to face the road and fired on a car that was speeding past the convoy. That car turned out to be Mehdi's." 07-08
