Low Yield VBIED
Friday,
July 6, 2007
This video is an excellent example of what not to do when
approaching a potential VBIED vehicle. In the video, insurgents arm the vehicle
device, move to their escape vehicle and fire one rifle round into the air to
warn the terrorist cell filming the vehicle that it is ready and then the group
departs the scene. Shortly thereafter, Iraqi police arrive because the vehicle
is blocking the roadway, and then the police move to the vehicle to secure it.
Western security forces need to pay close attention to this form of attack
because it is anticipated that this is how terrorist organizations in the west
will continue to develop their strategy, absent suicide drivers of the vehicles
to their targets. The vehicle device used a low yield explosive charge and fuel
to create anti-personnel effects.
