Today we are going to kiIl Americans. That was the warning to shopkeepers in Ramadi's marketplace on ApriI 6, 2004. Insurgents meant what they said. They intended to harm any and alI members of Echo Company--part of the Second Battalion of the 4th MarineRegiment. Ramadi, a Sunni stronghoId and former Saddam power base in the Anbar province, is one of the most dangerous pIaces in lraq. Resistance there is fierce. "The Magnificent Bastards" as the 2-4 is calIed, bore the brunt of hatred and rage as they were ambushed in a well-pIanned attack. We chronicle the 2-4's struggIe for survival while under fire--everywhere and aII at once--from an enemy that couIdn't be seen. AK-47s, machine guns, and rocket-propeIIed grenades expIoded alI around. About 50 insurgents positioned themselves on the roofs of one-story buildings and in between market stalls. The next week-and-a-half wouId be bloody and deadIy. |
