WorldNetDaily has obtained dramatic video footage of an unsuccessful ambush on a U.S. convoy escorting undisclosed VIPs. [Note: Video contains profane and obscene language, turn off any ad blockers if video doesn't come up.]

The video clip shows grenades exploding in front of a private security vehicle and return gunfire is heard in response to the attack. A still photograph, taken after the attack, shows the damage to the vehicle, operated by Blackwater USA, the private security outfit hired by the State Department for such security detail missions.

These private security teams protect and escort civilian leaders, such as Secretary of State Colin Powell and other members of the State Department team.

The 3 rd bursts you hear are coming from the green Humvee. An infantryman fires from his seat inside the humvee. Also watch the hatch to the Humvee, as the vehicle commander observes the route for possible enemies. That parking garage to the left had some guys with AK's and a PKM or two firing down on the convoy. That "big bang" you hear where the guy says "That was a big one" is rumored to be an RPG that missed the convoy.

Enjoy :)

It's also rumored that these are blackwater personel. Coolest job ever.

BTW, that took place on one of the major roads that lead up to Baghdad International Airport.

And to be specific the explosions seen were rifle grenades (GP30) which is a soviet made attachment for the AK47.

Did you hear the High pitch sound of the engines? They must be sup'd up or something. Almost sounded like a turbo or something. But I wouldn't know, I'm not a big car type of a guy.

What everyone didn't point out is the sound of fear in the guy's voice. Rightly so. I don't care how armored you are, being ambushed in a crowded street from an unknown assailant or assailants and from an unknown location ... I would need a clean pair of briefs after RTB.

I have a lot of respect for the guys who do these jobs. I got edgey just watching it.

It's a supercharged vehicle, what you hear is the whine of the supercharger :)
