IEDs 101

Robert dug this video up from someplace. I have NO idea precisely where or when these events take place, except that we appear to be watching a bunch of terrorists plant an IED.

I don't want to give away the ending, so let's just say these geniuses reaped an early harvest.

I think we're watching from a Predator or another unmanned aerial platform.

Probably.

Take it a step further, though. It's theoretically possible (see http://www.highfrequencyelectronics.com/Archives/Oct05/1005_Rawle.pdf) to initiate a detonation sequence remotely using an RF pulse. This is NOT rocket science... so I'd lay pretty good odds that what you see in this video was no accident.

I believe I may have felt a twinge of pity in the neighborhood of my left ankle, or was that a mosquito?

Don't kid yourself, shipmate... I'm guessing your varicose veins are acting up. :)

Too funny! And I half expected it to end with a Maverick attack. At least we didn't have to waste any taxpayer money...
