Good thing nobody is jumping to conclusions However, the convoy was attacked by a group of soldiers suspected to be members of a U.S. intelligence platoon that apparently knew nothing about the travel, RTR reported. At least five people -- all diplomats -- were wounded. None of the eight journalists was injured as they traveled at the back of the convoy. U.S. Central Command in Qatar said, however, no coalition forces were operating in the area. "Initial field reports reveal that no coalition forces were operating in the area of the incident," it said in a statement. "Based on the reported location, the incident is believed to have taken place in territory controlled by the Iraqi regime. The inquiry into this incident continues and more details will be made available as soon as possible."
