ONE POINT OF IMPACT WAS IN AN OPEN AREA, CAUSING NO DAMAGE AND CONSISTENT WITH A 60MM MORTAR. THE OTHER PENETRATED THE ROOF OF A STORAGE %%%.

THE -%%% FSG CELL HAS BEEN IN ITS ATTACK CYCLE IN THE PAST WEEK, LIKELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EFP ATTACK ON 11OCT09, AS WELL AS THE MORTAR ATTACK TARGETING COP %%% ON 5OCT09. THE ATTACK ON COP %%% CONSISTED OF THE SAME SIZE OF MORTAR ROUNDS AS TODAY'%%% ATTACK, AS WELL A SIMILAR NUMBER OF ROUNDS FIRED. THE MOST LIKELY POO FOR THE ATTACK TODAY WAS A FIELD IN %%%, GRID %%%. THIS ASSESSMENT IS BASED OFF OF THE BACK %%% OF THE IMPACTS AND THE RANGE OF 60MM MORTARS. THE FIELD IS ALSO SURROUNDED BY %%% POPULATED AREAS, MAKING IT VERY EASY FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WHO CONDUCTED THIS ATTACK TO FLEE INTO LOCAL NATIONALS. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN THIS FIELD BEING USED AS A POO SITE, HOWEVER, IT COULD BE UTILIZED MORE OFTEN AFTER TODAY'%%% SUCCESSFUL ATTACK. ALTHOUGH COP %%% HAS BEEN THE MAIN TARGET FOR FSG RECENTLY, THIS ATTACK SHOWS THAT THEY STILL HAVE A DESIRE TO ATTACK JSS %%%. IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS CELL DOES NOT KNOW HOW MANY CF FORCES ARE STILL ON JSS LOYALTY, AND HAS NO TO REASON TO THINK THAT THE SIZE OF THE FORCE THERE HAS DECREASED, AS HELICOPTER FLIGHTS AND CONVOYS STILL TRAVEL TO THE BASE NIGHTLY. \012\012\012SUMMARY:\012%%% X MORTAR ATTACK\012%%% X 60MM MORTARS CONFIRMED \012%%% X INJ\012%%% X DMG %%%\012\012//CLOSED// %%%
