ABC: F-16s Destroy al-Qaeda Terror Camp in Al Anbar

U.S. Air Force F-16s obliterated three truck-mounted anti-aircraft weapons and killed 10 to 14 al-Qaeda operatives near Fallujah on Tuesday, according to the military.

The military believes they were al-Qaeda terrorists engaged in an operation targeting coalition aircraft. “We’ve had about 11 helicopters that have been shot at and hit over the last four months in that location,” Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, spokesman for Multinational Force Iraq, told ABC News.

Dramatic Video Documents Strike The Department of Defense gave ABC News first access to imagery of the night operation that was carried out a little more than 48 hours ago.

The three-minute video begins with imagery from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The operator of the drone first spotted a truck with anti-aircraft weaponry mounted on it driving in the area. The drone followed the truck as it drove to a nearby training compound.

“When we spotted this truck, we continued to follow it until it went to that compound where it’s obviously doing some kind of training,” Caldwell explained. The video shows what appears to be al Qaeda members firing anti-aircraft weapons from the trucks as they train to take over an abandoned building.

The small black images are artillery rounds being fired from the trucks and some can be seen richocheting off the structures. Because the operation began in the late evening, the drone used thermal heat imagery which made it easy to spot the activity.

Caldwell describes the significance of this operation as a “seven to eight at least” on a scale of one to ten.

    I’m looking forward to when they start using those miniature helicoptor spy things with high resolution cameras, 1080i. Close-ups. They say you don’t hear the one that gets you. I don’t think that’s true. I want to see the last few seconds on their faces when they realize they’re busted.

    great clip, surprised to see ABC showing it though.

    I tend to think ABC is not part of the looney left, esp after jennings assumed room temperature. Very Left they be, but at times they have shown things that you would never see on cbs and nbc. So we destroy them last! :twisted:

    I read in the narrative….”The Department of Defense gave ABC News first access to imagery of the night operation that was carried out a little more than 48 hours ago.”

    And I see the “ABC” bug bottom right screen. But does anyone know if they actually reported this? or how it was treated?

    Just curious as I dont watch MSM scum any more.

    Great Clip tho!
