Let me just make sure I have the math right:
Fox News Story= 17 Rockets, 2 morter Shells
CENTCOM release= 18 Rockets, no Morter Shells.
I don't know. While there are descrepancies, there are enough similarities for me to be skeptical until more information is available. Sounds to me like there was a breakdown in comunication somewhere.
[edit], I see that I mistakenly said "shells" upstream, when they were Rockets.
