The IED that Blew-up Ben's convoy was an interesting configuration, it was C4 placed inside of a 105mm shell. There were actually two 105mm shells stacked on top of each other, the first on detonated but the second one was a DUD, THANK GOD!
MMmmm wonder where the hell they got the C4.
If you look at the following trend it is pretty scary, and for what, LIES, LIES and MORE LIES!!!
