Video of Black Watch Suicide Bombing Appears on Internet

car bombing

"The first martyrdom operation against the British forces in Baghdad"

What you see below is an animation, which is produced from a video reportedly showing the suicide bombing on the Black Watch regiment. The sequence shows the opening credit and new al Qaeda in Iraq logo - then we see the car traveling towards what is reported to be the British roadblock. The explosion is massive, and afterwards a cloud of smoke rises up. The closing credit is my own addition.

suicide bomb attack against black watch

As the video of a previous Black Watch suicide bombing was released, two more Black Watch soldiers were targeted in another apparent suicide bombing. The two soldiers suffered serious injuries to their lower legs, and were said to be in a stable condition. They had been travelling in an armoured Warrior vehicle on the west bank of the Euphrates River when it was reportedly rammed by the suicide bomber's car.

Now it seems that the first Black Watch suicide bombing was videoed by the new Al Qaeda in Iraq group, supposedly led by Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the leader of the former Tawhid and Jihad, under whose banner Ken Bigley was murdered. (you can read an extensive article on Mr Z here) I was made aware of this video at 1500 hrs BST on the 07 Nov, the video was widely circulated after appearing on an Islamic Jihad website.

Since the new renaming of the former Tawhid and Jihad to Al Qaeda of the land of the two rivers, the groups videos have changed. The videos, as regular readers and followers of the WW3 commentary on your local friendly website will know, are professionally made in as much as they use intro music and credits and other artistic tricks.

This video begins with a short rant against America and doubtless the UK - then it shows the new 'al Qaeda in Iraq' logo. Islamic chanting begins, a haunting tune which will be familiar to those who have seen the previous Tawhid and Jihad videos.

As the Islamic chanting continues, we see a snatch of what looks like BBC or Sky footage of the Black Watch preparing there troops, and the Regimental chaplain blessing the troops. We then see what appears to be the car carrying the VBIED (vehicle borne improvised explosive device). It looks like a four wheel drive Vehicle , much used by Western contractors over there. The car heads towards what seems to be the UK Troops in the distance who have a roadblock of some sort set up, the Black Watch will certainly know if this indeed the attack on them by simply viewing the video themselves as the layout can easily be determined by those present. A subtitle claims "The first martyrdom operation against the British forces in Baghdad"

The car heads towards the roadblock, whilst a voiceover and some Islamic chanting continues, the voiceover proclaims at one point "I swear that the head of America has been rolled in the dust and trampled on by our heroes." As the car gets closer, the camera operator himself speaks out the inevitable words 'Allah Akbar'. The prayer of death as we've become to know it, is spoken out 7 times or so before the car finds its target and a tremendous explosion is heard. The fireball itself seems to cover 100 to 150 square feet. The video camera seems to be positioned perhaps a mile from the target.

Sometime after the explosion the cameraman focuses on what seems to be a tank and several armoured vehicles. No timestamp is on the video. An American helicopter is seen hovering then landing , ferrying the injured no doubt. Helicopters are taken down at a rate of one per month and the Americans landing the copter was a risk in itself. American surgeons are highly skilled due to much practice, and they have already seen every injury known to man.

It looks like the Troops abandoned the idea of the roadblock not long after the attack. At that point the camera man, and perhaps a few of those involved, move down the road to inspect the damage they've done. Ever since the Americans let hundreds of tons of explosives go missing, it seems the bombers can afford to use very high amounts of high explosives so you'd expect wreckage to be strewn around the place. Whilst looking around the bombsite, they come across a severed arm. The camera focuses as one of the men there casually kicks the arm over, then puts his foot on the upturned hand, grinding it down into the ground. A subtitle reads "these are some of the body parts that they have not seen because there were so many."

Doubtless this video will be used by the media to stoke up the Black Watch to 'hit back hard'. Some officers are already talking that old fighting talk. We won't see the video of UK & US bombing victims. We soon forget 10% of the 'shock and awe' destruction of Baghdad was caused by UK bombs. We 've killed hundreds if not thousands of Iraqis but as UK and US officers tell us "We don't do body counts". We will if it's the bodies of UK or US troops. They matter. The Iraqi kids we slaughter don't.

It should be Blair out there, and Straw and the rest of warmongering new labour party. Thank God Blair was not around during Vietnam - because he would have sent the UK troops on another pointless war, one in which America got deservedly beaten. America has now entered another Vietnam, and this time Blair is there to make sure that the Black Watch, before it is perhaps disbanded forever, will be killed off litrally as Scottish working class lads find themselves sent to the badlands by a lunatic American president who talks to God. Whilst there, they find other men, who also talk to God, whilst driving towards roadblocks or vechiles or whatever otherwise impenetrable target they choose in this manner. Most sane people are just praying that the troops come home. Sadly, the odds are that God is sick to death of us starting wars then expecting him to take sides. If there is a God, He (or She) is sitting this one out.

The things they said

"The Jocks are well and coming at it with their usual humour," Lieutenant Colonel James Cowan, Black Watch leader, plays the down the first attack by trying to patronise the working class. James was educated at Wellington College in Berkshire and Pembroke College, Oxford. The upper class point of view of the war = Stick together chaps - lets give those Iraqis a damn good bashing for old Blighty and the City of London stock Exchange. I'll be back at the officers mess if you need me, chin up and God save the Oil, I mean, Queen.

"We think Bush is an arsehole for starting a war over nothing, trying to get money and oil. That's what Paul thought. I think they should just get the boys out of there now. If not we're going to lose a lot more than this". Black Watch soldier & brother of Paul Lowe, one of the 3 lads killed in the attack. The working class point of view of the war = Get out - its not worth it. Why should we die for a lunatic American president and his God Squad mates.
