ANOTHER PHONE CALL

CPT Patti called me in the very early hours of the morning. She called because she needed me to pass some information along to a family member back here.

During the conversation I asked her about the UN Hotel blast yesterday.

She said that shortly after she and I finished speaking yesterday the blast occured. The blast rocked their compound and rattled the windows pretty badly.

No one at her compound was hurt. They estimate the hotel to be about a mile from their compound.

She said that as soon as it happened she went to her lookout position on the roof and saw a large, black mushroom shaped cloud rising above the city.
