A U.S. soldier walks near Iraqis holding a protest march against Samarra's Golden Mosque bombing in Mosul, 390 km (240 miles) northwest of Baghdad February 24, 2006. An emergency curfew for Friday's Muslim day of prayer helped quell sectarian violence that has killed some 200 people around Baghdad, keeping much of the Iraqi capital deserted as leaders work to avert civil war.

Stryker Patrol

U.S. Army Spc. Jimmy Wilkes provides security during an operation in Tall Kayf, Iraq, March 1, 2006. Wilkes is from the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team. Defense Dept. photo by U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. John M. Foster"

One intresting thing about the photo below is just how sophisticated the add-on roof armor has become. flaps, hinges, stupports, even armored glass windows in it! Of course the commander's field of vision drops to zero, except for the camera on the remote mg.

3/4 rear Stryker, Tal Kayf
