What killed a U.S. tank?

You've got to see this:

On Aug. 28, 2003, an unknown munition, thought to be no
wider than a pencil, pierced the side of an M1A1 Abrams tank on patrol
in Baghdad. The round crippled the 69-ton vehicle and slightly injured
its commander and gunner. It was the second Abrams knocked out of
commission by the enemy in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Now Army officials
are trying to figure out what kind of mystery projectile could pierce
the Abrams armor and disable it.
