Tension is building in Mosul, the al Qaeda-infested city where US and Iraqi troops are preparing for an assault on terrorist insurgents. In a report broadcast yesterday, an NBC news crew caught on video 2 IED explosions and small arms fire by insurgents. The above photo shows Sgt. Domingo Sagolili, a cavalry scout in 1st Platoon, Troop I, 3rd Squadron, 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment, from Fort Hood, Texas, walking dismounted alongside Humvees through a street in a residential area of Mosul while on recon February 4, 2008. USA Today says pacifying Mosul will take a different approach than the Baghdad model. (Hat tip: Michael Yon)
