THE EOD TEAM ARRIVED ON SCENE, CONDUCTED /%%% AND SET UP A SAFE AREA AT %%%. DUE TO THE FACT THAT ISF AND USF WERE ALREADY ON SCENE NEXT TO THE BLAST SEAT AND THEY HAD ALREADY SWEPT THE AREA WITH DISMOUNTS, THE TEAM LEADER MANUALLY CLEARED THE SCENE. THERE WERE ALSO LN VEHICLES BLOCKING THE RTE %%% THE WRECKER WAS LOADING THE DAMAGED %%% WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONDUCT A REMOTE RECON. THE PATROL LEADER STATED THAT THE FIRST VEHICLE IN THE FORMATION, A %%%, WAS STRUCK. THE DRIVER OF THE %%% STATED THAT AS HE DROVE PAST A PILE OF CONCRETE BLOCKS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE IED DETONATED. THE DETONATION OCCURRED AT GROUND LEVEL, WENT STRAIGHT ACROSS THE GROUND, PASSED THROUGH BOTH FRONT TIRES, HIT THE MEDIAN, AND RICOCHETED INTO THE BARRIERS AND BUILDINGS ACROSS THE STREET.

IT IS THE TEAM LEADER'%%% ASSESSMENT THAT THE IED WAS A SINGLE, COPPER LINED EFP, CONTAINED APPROXIMATELY %%% LBS OF UBE, AND WAS APPROXIMATELY EIGHT INCHES IN DIAMETER PRIOR TO DETONATION.

IT IS ASSESSED THAT FSG CELLS HAVE BEEN DRAWING BACK ATTACKS AGAINST USF, MOVING OPERATIONS CLOSER TO BEING FOCUSED ON THE %%% PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS.
