Things that go 'bump' in the night

Night Shift in Iraq
This is an actual Night Vision video clip from Iraq. Read this first so you know what you are watching, then watch the video. You have to watch this . . . this is unreal, 4 kms away, at night And it looks like they are right there. Heck of a weapon too . . . 
The pictures were taken from an AC130 Specter gunship four kilometres away. The guys in the picture are setting up a roadside bomb and planning to ambush an American convoy which followed a short while after the pictures were taken.
They were setting up for the ambush and were pacing off the distance from the bomb to where the convoy was to pass by. The level of effort these crews put forth to control the enemy's antics is commendable, and their marksmanship with those electronically controlled 40 mm cannons is astounding.
