CNN Shoots Their Way out of Tikrit

command-post.org

CNN's Brent Sadler decided to leave Tikrit after reaching an area of fighting. On the way out, they came to the checkpoint that had previously let them through. This time the people at the checkpoint opened fire with AK-47's in full auto. CNN's bodyguard returned full auto fire.

They got away okay. As I write this they are under semi-automatic pistol fire from a nearby car. One of their vehicles took some rounds. The guard drove them off with return fire. It sounds like the guard has an AK-47 but I am not sure of that.
