Tillman comrade recalls final moments

O'Neal said Saturday that he knew there were snipers in the convoy that fired at them, but that he can't remember their names. Were they fired at by the snipers? "Not that I know of," O'Neal told the AP.

His recollections of the snipers reflected testimony in the transcripts.

One exchange, for example, with Capt. Richard Scott, who conducted the first, immediate investigation, went only so far:

Q: Are you aware whether or not any U.S. forces snipers were at the scene?

A: Scott: They were in serial two.

Q: And, and do you know whose GMV (ground mobility vehicle) they were traveling in?

A: Scott: I don't think they were in a GMV. I think they were in a cargo Humvee.

Q: Okay. Do you know if the snipers fired any rounds during this incident involving CPL Tillman?

A: Scott: I do not, no.

Do they normally work in pairs?

Interesting!

4. Maybe they couldn't remember their names

because they were not a normal part of the squad.

One on the rifle, one on the spotting scope.
