The 1st Marine Division has released a statement this morning:

Marines from the 1st Marine Division shot and killed an insurgent, who while faking dead, opened fire on the Marines that were conducting a security and clearing patrol through the streets here at approximately 3:45 p.m. on 21 November.


There appears to be another statement implied, one directed to certain individuals placing themselves in positions of condemnation, but if I'm correct as to what it is, I don't believe it's appropriate to repeat here.

Subtlety, they say, is the art of saying a lot with a little.
