Iraqi resistance home video

[Chemical Ollie]

This video shows how Iraqi resistance fighters armed with shoulder-held SAMs hit an American cargo aircraft on it's way to Bagdhad Airport. The aircraft was damaged but managed to land safely.

Dude, didn't you hear? They are not resposible for that plane attack. They said they were but they are not. They were to far to hit that plane, it was scientificly proven.
The plane was hit by someother people.....which to my knowledge right now....are not known

"Iraqi resistance" .
Terrorist scum, that's what they are. They're probably not even Iraqi, you know.

My uncle wasn't a Finn, but I wouldn't call him a terrorist for going to Finland and resist the Sovjet invasion in 1939.

What worries me more is that SAMs like these might be used to attack civilian aircraft anywhere in the world.

Something like this then?

[Gangerolf]

Olle, I wouldn't call your uncle a terrorist either. But attempting to shoot down civilian aircraft is terrorism in my book.

[Chemical Ollie]

I didn't even know there were civilian aircraft flying to Baghdad. But on a second thought, there must be.

It was a civilian cargo jet. Imagine how many people would die if it would crash on the city. Imagine how many people would die if it was a passanger jet.

Goooooo resistance!!

Yes, that's my point. It doesn't take much to create a new 9/11 situation by a co-ordinated attack with ten or so devices like this. A bunch of zealots with some hours of training and reliable cover stories could travel to any country and make the attack. They are quite easy to smuggle.

I used the word "resistance fighter" because it is neutral and I did not know all details of this event. You can put in "terrorist" or "freedom fighter" depending on your personal preference.

I heard a US trooper call them 'Freedom Fighters' during an interview while he was in Iraq. I just about died.

terrorists:

Attack civilians in an attempt to instill fear and or support of a cause, usually political.

Were they doing any of that?

[Spiffor]

The Iraqi guerilla targets both civilian and military targets. They are not entirely terrorists (or you'd have to call the shooting of helos 'terrorism' and I suppose you won't), but they do use terrorist methods in their array.
