"It was announced that two Iraqi children recently led the Marines to a site where roadside bombs were concealed, near Baiji"
Juan Cole

I heard something similar, but in the version I heard the solider recognized the children because they had given them toys and one child had a tedybear that they recognized, and the child told them where a the bomb was. I don't know if these are two versions of the same story of if there two separate instances of Iraqi children leading us to the bombs.
