An Iraqi lawyer tipped off U.S. Marines that Lynch was being held at the hospital in Nasiriyah. The paramilitaries tracked down the foreign contractor who built the facility and passed on the global positioning satellite coordinates and layout of the hospital to the Delta Force.
As Delta commandos and other U.S. forces moved in, Marines, who control most of Nasiriyah, created a diversionary attack that occupied most of the Iraqi troops in the city. Army Rangers set up a perimeter around the hospital to prevent any other Iraqi troops from attempting to join the fight. Then, Delta Force and Navy SEAL Team 6 commandos carried out the raid as an Air Force gunship and communication plane circled overhead.
Deltas were involved then?
