Video: What the Iraqi resistance looks like

Sami Ramadani mentioned this clip at an MWAW meeting in September on the Iraqi resistance. It shows a convoy of trucks driven by US contractors which loses its way in the small town of Balad, 70km north of Baghdad, in September 2005. It is attacked, first by youths throwing stones, and then by small arms fire. The video, broadcast on US TV a year later, demonstrates that the Iraqi population at large is well-armed and intensely hostile to the occupation.
