A group of 40 men armed with AK-47 assault rifles in 10 to 15 vehicles were spotted at the pipeline by the troops who were led to the area by an Iraqi informant, said army spokesman, Master Sergeant Robert Cargie.
US troops, armed with M-16 rifles and 125mm cannons mounted on Bradley fighting vehicles, shot at the thieves, killing seven of them in a gunfight, he said. The remaining people escaped, he said.
