VIDEO SCRIPT OF HOSTAGE RESCUE
- Here are Coalition Forces in action. In this video, you will witness the
reconnaissance of some terrorists who were affiliated with hostage
taking.
- We received information as to their whereabouts and checked out
what they were doing. Turns out they were in the process of taking some more
hostages, so we deployed our troops within minutes, tracked down and killed two
of the terrorists and rescued the hostages, unscathed from the trunk.
-
This was an intelligence-based operation. On 25 March, we had been watching this
black sedan for a while in the Tarmiya-area. Here you see it facing traffic the
wrong way as a truck approaches. One man with a gun jumps out of the car,
followed by others, and the truck hesitantly pulls over
- At gunpoint,
men from the sedan pull two men out of the truck and force the hostages into the
trunk of the sedan.
- One man gets back into the sedan while the other
two get into the truck and drive away. The two men in the sedan drive off and
then turn down a back road.
- At this point our troops have quickly
launched to intercept the black sedan with the hostages in it.
- After it
passes a white car, our forces engage the sedan with three disabling shots into
the engine block. The two men get out of the car and begin to run, but they
don’t get away -- both hostage-takers were killed.
- Simultaneously,
troops moved to secure the sedan and release the hostages and ensure that
everyone else is alright.
- The rescued hostages were questioned about
the truck driver and the hostage takers, but had little information – they were
released immediately to their families a bit shaken understandably, but safe and
sound
- This engagement clearly displays the quick reaction capabilities
of Coalition Forces -- the nearly simultaneous merging of intelligence,
operations and supporting personnel to conduct a precise and surgical strike
that more than likely saved the lives of two Iraqis.

Now someone explain this to me. Here is a video of a hostage taking
in progress, something the MSM loves to harp about. And the video of them being
caught and the hostages freed. Good footage and good stuff but not a single
mention anywhere in the MSM. Wh??? Its definetly newsworthy and even has a bit
of excitment to it, something the MSM demands before they publish anything. OH
thats right, the won't post this becuase it shows how well our troops react and
are able to take action!! How well the intel is working, and a good example of
what they can do. Oh well at least you can see it here..... The MSM is so biased
that they have become cowards. I DARE them to put this out there and see
what the public thinks of it!!! What do you think?
