Basrah My other half brought this vid home on his laptop on his last leave, he didn't tell me it was Basrah.

Thats where he went to on his return this time.

Well if that scares you try this. Humvee completely vapourised.

Blimey, thats pretty nasty. Whats the music, anyone know what the song is about?

You can see a body fly from the wreckage, so if you're of a nervous disposition I'd advise caution before clicking the link. No gore though.

What he said, on both counts. Got a mate in RAAF, lots of missed calls over the weekend and fearing the inevitable but not this time, another mate in TA did 4 months in the sand last year. I'll only end up there if the queen signs the Air Force act, but go I would, and i'd do my damndest too...

Familiar with the 'Edinburgh Risk' ambush Nick ?

3 mercenaries, sorry, 'contractors' mort after their cars were opened up on by a PK.

The guy who says 'F_ck me I'm hit man' also takes a round in the head.

Don't know, but I'd bet the farm that it's something to do with praising Allah for this victory on the zionist infidel

I do some research for the VA "Veterans Administration",and Unfortunately I get to see quite a few of these.I List all the Soldiers KIA and WIA in Iraq for Our Viet Nam Vets Org.You can also get this information on CNN Specials on the website.I'm not exactly sure what the website is,but if you enter it into your search engine it will show.It lists all the Soldiers Killed from every Country by date.It Sucks to say the least...I was given a website by a fellow Vet,that Show videos of beheadings,murders,and the car bombings etc.I saw a smimular one of the one posted here with a Bradley fighting vehicle,difference was about 12 Troops Stopped to get the Bodies,and another Bomb was detonated. Got all of them.These Sgs even have one of a Sniper killing about a dozen US Troops.2 of my mates just returned from Iraq and tell me the 50 cal. USA made Sniper Rifle is among the weapons of choice.Now their snipers can take out targets over a mile.It seems they're becomeing experts in this field,Fg Sad.About 90% of the fatalities are from car bombings and roadside bombs...

It's Erynis International (Mercs), the vehicle hit was a Ford Expedition and was disabled. The driver was knocked unconscious, the gunfire you hear is of the Erynis security forces firing. There were no Erynis casualties but one Iraqi was killed.

Yes, roadside bomb or IED. Made from old artillery shells of which Iraq went through 500,000 a month during the Iran War, all the arms dumps were left unguarded after the yanks dismantled the Iraqi Army. A hugely profitable(in Iraqi terms) and tactical business, incredible planning and methodology behind the attacks. 40 IED 'events' per day. (either exploded or dearmed). They record all the attacks and use them as propaganda and training tapes.

They are saying Allah Ackbar which roughly translated means 'You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off'.
