[Video] US Security Detail Ambushed In Iraq


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.
