Suicide Bombing Kills Five Marines and One Sailor Based at Camp Lejeune

Video will be available shortly.

A suicide bomber has hit a convoy of Camp Lejeune based troops in Fallujah, Iraq. Five marines and a sailor were killed and 13 more Marines were wounded. Three of those killed were reportedly women Marines, the largest single loss of American military women since the Iraq war began. The troops were all part of Camp Lejeune's Second Marine Expeditionary Force. We went to Jacksonville for community reaction. What we learned was that the community there is divided over women on the frontlines.
