one other thing... i saw the report on this incident..... there was a second round that did not explode. it landed rather closer than the first one did.... can't say much more but it was definitely a "lucky stars" moment.

That 1 mortar round probably scared the UN away from doing anything there. *shocker*

it was not a mortar. it was a 122mm Katusha rocket
