Standing on the saddle of a ridge near the village of Khan Najma, Ninewa province, a fortress-like structure, which bears, above its north-facing gate, an inscription, which three interpreters said was from the Koran but was too warn to fully decipher. Members of Mississippi Army National Guard unit - A Company, 2nd Battalion, 198th Combined Arms, 155th Brigade Combat Team, the Q-West force protection company from Hernando, Miss. - visited the site while returning from a mission, Feb. 3. The buttresses bracing the western wall are clearly visible.
