The current official release can be found here. One assumes that more will be forthcoming. The warnings about paying too much attention to scattered details in a fresh news story applies to information from our side as well.
Another story, with more details on what happened at which attack, can be found here. It can be seen that a lot more details need to be filled in, since several attacks occurred at several places. I would tend to go with the Centcom release above.
And this wasn't a military attack, this was a heist. I'm surprised more isn't being made of this interpretation.
Many in the American media, graduates of our great journalism schools, no doubt pray fervently every night that this turns out to be another Vietnam.
I remember the celebrations on my campus at the fall of Saigon. The joy at seeing helicopters crash into the ocean. The raw hatred of everything "Amerikan." These students grew up. Where are they now?
