What DID happen October 10th in Forward Base Falcon?

Continuing from this post, more information is leaking out. Is this fake?

Sarah Meyers did the research:

The Guardian has this: "``With the help of God, the mortar and rocket squads of the Islamic Army have shelled a U.S. Army base with two rockets and three mortar shells,'' the group said in a statement posted on a Web site known to be used by insurgents. ``The rockets and shells fell on ammunition dumps causing them to explode. Sounds of explosions were heard in Baghdad.''

The authenticity of the statement could not be immediately verified, but the U.S. military did confirm that the base's ammunition depot had been hit at 10:40 p.m. Tuesday by an 82mm mortar round fired by insurgents from a nearby residential area.

``Intelligence indicates that civilians aligned with a militia organization were responsible for last night's mortar attack,'' base spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Withington said.

There were no injuries reported, and Withington said the attack had no strategic effect."

The BBC has this: "The US military has said that a huge fire at an army base's ammunitions store in the Iraqi capital was caused by a mortar fired by insurgents.

The fire, which set off a series of blasts and explosions at the base, caused no casualties or injuries."
