Sky News: New Pics of Attack on Iraqi Bombers
 New footage has been released showing the moment two roadside bomb teams in Basra were attacked by British forces. Doesn't show a whole lot, but it's more than we had before! :-) The Ministry of Defence says the Iraqi militiamen targeted may have been responsible for the deaths of four British soldiers earlier this month. Ooh, targeted! I like the sound of that! >:-) "(They) were intent upon launching exactly the same type of attack in the same area," said a spokesman. Now they're intent on avoiding Fred's virgins. At least eight of the Iraqis who were laying devices were killed in the attack, on the outskirts of the Hyall Shuala district, on Friday night. From the size of the explosion I'll bet they're having a real hard time getting all the little bits to tell the same story. Just wait for the wailing and divide by 90dB and you'll know about how many died. The operation was launched by the Multi-National Division (SE) Force Reserve, 2nd Battalion Duke of Lancaster's Regiment Battlegroup. Any bets it was conceived and planned by some mighty pi$$ed off grunts? A spokesman for the group said: "The Multi-National Force in south east Iraq must be able to Anybody else wanna limp? "Operations against rogue militia will therefore continue, especially so against their leadership and their weapons stocks but also, as in this case, against operatives." And anyone else we don't like until such time that you're all dead or permanently stuck under your beds. The four Britons who died in the roadside bomb attack on April 5 were Second Lieutenant Joanna Yorke Dyer, Corporal Kris O'Neill, Private Eleanor Dlugosz and Kingsman Adam James Smith. R.I.P. Their bodies were flown back to the UK last week. What's left of the bad guys has already been taken care of by the crows. Posted by: gorb 2007-04-17 |
