A friend sent me a Power point slide show of a BMP full of guys getting blown up. The email came with this caption:

[b]Subject: FW: FROM THE AFGHAN FRONT
Subject: Attack on a Taliban BMP
>From someone on the USS John C. Stennis.
He was the strike element lead on this attack, and received these
pictures
as a "thank you" from the US Army controllers on the ground. It is an
excellent example of a joint, combined arms operation.
A Taliban/ al-Qaida armored vehicle (ex-Russian BMP) with troops
embarked and riding on top is targeted by forward air controllers
(FAC's)
of the US Army, 4th Special Operations Group. A flight of two Navy F-14
Tomcats are called in by the Army FAC's and strike the vehicle nearly
simultaneously with GBU-16 laser guided bombs.[/b]

Whether this is really from Afghanistan or not, it is a great photo sequence of a some guys on a BMP having a real bad day.

Can someone tell me how to get it posted, or be willing to post it for me? I will email the slides to you if you can do it.

Thanks

I saw these at work earlier today, I like the frame showing Taliban bodies flying amid the explosion. Bastard Taliban meeting their maker.

This is old news...and they aren't Taliban.  If anything, they are Russians, with the mine being set off by Chechens.  But, it has been said that the entire video is a fake.

See my post above regarding origin. The photos are new to me and I presented them as they came, with the appropriate disclaimer regarding origin.

BTW, if they are faked, it's a pretty good one...
