A patrol of coalition forces has been ambushed this morning in eastern Diwaniyah. The attack started with explosion of three IEDs, followed by shelling with a machine gun and an anti-tank grenade launcher.

Nobody in the patrol has been hurt. The Quick Reaction Force, made of Polish helicopters, has been immediately called. After the positive target identification and directing the fire by the ground patrol the helicopters have opened fire - destroying the enemy position. Consequently, two rebels have died and the rest have withdrawn.
