At least they could "spill" couple gallons of gasoline inside and then toss a cigarette butt.FWIW, a lit cigarette butt will NOT ignite gasoline.

As the lit cigarette butt flies over the surface of spilled gasoline (and it is hot in Iraq, so there are a LOT of vapors above that surface) - I would be betting on ignition. It is not like rapid immersion under the surface of spilled liquid. One would need to allow the air to saturate with vapors first, and then either a cigarette butt or an incendiary round would do the job.

True, but a grenade or two sure would. Maybe a simple ol road flare....

While a lit cigarette butt might not ignite spilled gasoline I guarentee that a "willy peter" grenade will 8*)
