MSNBC just had a special report w/ some raw video. Large explosion in central Baghdad that could be heard for miles. Near the gates of the CPA headquarters. No word on casualties. From the raw video, I saw several civilian cars damaged.

do you know if Patriot missiles have been deployed anywhere in that area for point defense against missile attacks? we were asking that on the mansoor ijaz threads about the possible missile attacks.

I almost never watch CNN because of their extreme anti-US/pro-islamofascist bias.

Ijaz said something to the effect that up to 30 tanker trucks from Iran, some with TNT (or something worse) were headed to Baghdad.

that is true, "nerd", please ignore my post #63.

Ijaz said something to the effect that up to 30 tanker trucks from Iran, some with TNT (or something worse) were headed to Baghdad. I remember that story .. he said they caught the 30th tanker truck ... but the other 29 made it through

I don't know about air defense and if I did I couldn't comment on it.
Did Mansoor Ijaz address the logistical and operational problems with launching a surface to surface missile? It's not trivial. I haven't read the thread.

Thanks for the on site reports. Stay Safe.

I don't think patriot missiles would stop rocket propelled grenades. That seems to be the only type of missile threat at this time.
