U.S. Marines from 3rd Battalion 4th Marines return fire 
            during a gunfight on the banks of the Tigris River next to the Palestine 
            Hotel Apil 12, 2003 in Baghdad, Iraq. It was unclear immediately who 
            opened fire on the Marines or if any injuries were sustained by U.S. 
            forces in the brief exchange.   |
