Adam's Base, Camp Bucca hit June 9

For us, this was huge. In the media it was a tagline to larger events that happened in Baghdad that day. My mom doesn't usually watch the Sat. morning news, but that day she did and saw the news scroll across the screen. She called who she could and we all prayed. Later that day, Adam called to say he was fine but couldn't/wouldn't say much else. There wasn't anything on CNN, but Fox had a blurb. Elizabeth

From FoxNews:

In southern Iraq, an apparent rocket attack at the U.S.-run Camp Bucca military prison killed at least six detainees and wounded 50, the military said. No American casualties were reported.
The U.S. military oversees more than 20,000 inmates at Camp Bucca in southern Iraq and Camp Cropper, near the Baghdad airport. Military officials refuse to give a breakdown of how many prisoners are at each facility but say the majority are at Camp Bucca.
