2004. Geraldo Rivera reporting from Iraq with the Fox News crew convoy, traveling from Sulaymaniyah to Erbil then on to Mosul. On their way to Stryker brigade the convoy is hit by gunfire.
“..Is anyone hit?”
Pulling in to a nearby University hospital, the team inspects the damage and the injured driver is treated. Later in the segment Geraldo speaks to Colonel Joseph in the area, who gives insight about the situation in Mosul. This incident happened not a half a mile from U.S. forward fire base, likely by individual/s from Saddam Hussein’s former regime.
In closing the team heads to the border with Turkey, where we see the border backed up for miles.
Operation Iraqi Freedom officially ended in 2011, although many parts of the country remain hazardous to journalists and civilians alike.
