#1 Heh. The sign of the cross. Kinda reminds me of Zarqawi's fate when they dropped the bomb on the building he was in.

#2 In at least two of those four videos something is leaving the scene of the explosion at a great rate. Curious.

#3 I looked at the videos and it appears it's the missile armor piercing tips you saw departing at a great rate of speed.

There's a small amount of electronics at the tip, with hardened solid metal behind it to pierce whatever material it need to go through and the explosive package behind that does the real damage followed by more electronics, propulsion, rocket (or turbine) etc.

Lot more to missile designs than building a glorified firework rocket.
