Aussie Infantry score

this just in from Defence Media Iraq incident involving Australian Security Detachment Australian soldiers from the Security Detachment responded to an incident yesterday where shots were fired at a man after he was observed acting suspiciously in the vicinity of the Australian Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. Prior to the shooting, the man was driving a suspicious looking vehicle. The vehicle stopped near the Security Detachment Flats and the man alighted and, despite being given repeated warnings, the driver continued to act in a suspicious manner and failed to comply with directions. At approximately 12.20pm, shots were fired at the man. The man was injured and assisted from the scene by Iraqi authorities. His condition is unknown. The Australian Defence Force is currently investigating the incident. No further information is available at this time. Update The guy has died and the Air Commodore Evans is sad.

Sadly, we’ve learned just recently from unconfirmed reports from Iraqi sources that he’s passed away,”

There is going to be an investigation as well.

“We are trying to confirm that and the investigation, of course, will cover that most carefully.”

The guy gave all indications he was leaving a bombed up vehicle near the digger’s accomodation, was told in Arabic to behave himself and when he still looked iffy someone topped him. Seems reasonable to me yet the commander is ‘sad’ and we’re having an investigation. Funny way to run a war.
