Reuters Cameraman Tank Projectile Mystery Solved!
Leave to the sexy Reena Ninan to answer my phone call and do a little investigating on that idiot punk ass Reuters Cameraman terrorist sympathizer that got nailed.
Remember the green puff of smoke on that projectile earlier…well click and watch…some of you guys already figured it out. Kudos…
hmmm … hell of a way to go.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:55 pmFlechette round,successor to the Beehive round used in Viet Nam. You used to be able to get them in 12 ga…not sure if you still can…
April 17th, 2008 at 3:17 pmThe boyz over in the other links to this story already ID’d the round. The enhanced vid is a nice touch. That’s also a spectacular tank round. Very effective.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:31 pmGetting that close to the target can be painfull, Dumbasses will never learn. You go out and embed with terrorist against someone with superior technology is not the recipe for a long life.
When your enemy can see you better than you can see them you’re in trouble. I wonder if this ever occured to them? I’m sure the gunner in that Merkova had these dopes crosshaired for some time before they cut loose.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:34 pmIts a beautiful thing…
April 17th, 2008 at 3:43 pmDoes this mean I can get a job as a researcher at Fox? I’d really appreciate being introduced to Reena…
April 17th, 2008 at 4:23 pmTell Allah I said,”Hola!” Don’t know about 72 virgins, but you definetly got nailed.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:35 pmSucks for him. Play with fire get burned

Hang out with vermin, then you die like vermin.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:11 pmWOW!
Thanks for the update Bash.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:13 pmLaid next to a “duster” that broke up a ground attack with instantanious air burst in the Delta in 68. Artillery, any size, you gotta love it!
April 17th, 2008 at 9:20 pmOkay - one more time for the slow ones… If you put your camera up on your shoulder and point it at a tank in a war zone, expect to die! The tankers can’t tell the difference between a shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon and your (probably al Qaeda-symathetic) camera.
How many times has this happened? Three or four by my count…
April 18th, 2008 at 7:07 amIs there any proof that this guy was a terrorist?
April 18th, 2008 at 7:39 amRoute Irish in ‘03, had a dude in a blacked-out Mercedes cut across the median toward a convoy, jump out, throw a black object up on his shoulder. He ate some coax from the lead brad. Turned out to be a reporter with a camera. Shit happens.
April 18th, 2008 at 9:51 amthat was kind of trippy….being in the perspective of a man dying
April 18th, 2008 at 5:58 pm[…] - More Staged Fauxtography of Israeli Brutality? UPDATE 21 APRIL 2008: Via Snapped Shot, Pat Dollard has a video and stills that confirm the Israeli shell that killed Fadel Shana as being a […]
April 21st, 2008 at 12:21 amSeriously, how can you assume he’s a terrorist? Because he’s a Palestinian? So if a reporter or cameraman gets killed by al qaeda or hamas, then and only then it’s wrong? But if Israeli soldiers kill reporters, it’s okay, and the reporters deserve it? You people are sick.
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:17 pmTo Andy - did you read all above? Man, what do your expect from tank gunner found somebody pointing something on him from a shoulder? What do you think about ‘reporter’ trying to film an armor in the battlefield - right upfront of its gun? What could you do instead of armor crew? And instead of the ‘reporter’? Would you even try to film an armor in battlefild upfront? Come on, tell us your thoughts. BTW, this ‘reporter’ found a nice way to commit suicide - may be got financial troubles before..
