Thanks Max. Should send the old guy an email about it, from the site I pilfered it from. ;)

As much as I trust metafilter.com, I looked for some other stuff on it. Can't find it on snopes or any other hoax sites. But I found another thread on metafilter and something on another site referring to the mine strike.

Captures from a video of an attack on a Taliban BMP. All I have to say is "holy crap." Graphic. Interesting. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Completely untrue.

I deleted a post leading to the same images almost a year ago (for being too graphic and not having anything worth discussing). It's some video footage from some random tank/mine explosion perhaps in afghanistan, but certainly not during this war time.

Taliban/Al Qaida Ex-Russian BMP Gets Blasted
by John Hawkins

This is a short movie of a Taliban/Al Qaida ex-Russian BMP that goes boom. This was hit by Navy F-14s with GBU-16 laser guided bombs. I haven't seen this footage anywhere else.

Check out the brutal payback from Uncle Sam right here.

(**Editor's Note: It looks like this is not a recent series of pictures. I've now been told this is a Russian vehicle being hit by Muslim mines. While I haven't been able to confirm this, I've been told the same things from two different sources, one of which is highly reliable**)

I seen this years ago, the info I had at the time said it was a Russian/Soviet APC being blown up in A'stan/Chechnya. :2c:

Also if you listen to the vid, the camera man says "Allah Akbar", not CCT procedure last time I checked, but what do I know! lol

lol, it could be new CCT procedure for use during infiltration ops, never know who's watching.

Hence my earlier post to edit accordingly and feel free to move/delete, etc. lol

Well I don't know this for a fact, until we do I dont see the need to change it. :2c:

Maybe they've just been in country so long they've gone native.
