GAZA CITY, -: An Israeli helicopter is seen in the sky as an army incursion takes place in the al-Moghraka area just south of Gaza City 19 March 2004. Three and a half years of Israeli raids into the autonomous strip have left the Palestinian security apparatus in tatters and the Palestinian Authority with little means to guarantee law and order in the flashpoint territory. As for Israel's request that the Palestinian security services crack down on militant groups such as Hamas, Rashid Abu Shbak, the head of preventive security in the Gaza Strip, rules it out so long as the army is carrying out military operations on an almost daily basis.

BAGHDAD, IRAQ: US soldiers distribute flyers offering ten million dollars for the capture of suspected al-Qaeda operative Abu Mussab Zarqawi 18 March 2004 at the site of last night's blast which devastated a hotel and three nearby buildings in central Baghdad. The US army said 17 people were killed in the attack, but the Iraqi interior ministry put the toll at seven, with two people reported missing and 31 others wounded. Iraq's interim Governing Council and the US military suspect Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network, Ansar al-Islam, and Saddam Hussein followers of carrying out the Baghdad attack. US officials have linked Zarqawi, a Jordanian said to be leading an Al-Qaeda affiliated network operating in Iraq, to the March 2 attacks in Karbala and Baghdad that killed more than 170 people, and the August 2003 attack on the United Nations compound that killed 22, including the top UN official in Iraq.

It could very well be a French Manurhin SG543 (used by French Forces in West Africa, Chad and Lebanon). Manurhin models also circumvented strict Swiss export laws. FAMAE (http://www.famae.cl/) is the only one still making SG540 models ...

U.S. Troops wore 6-color chocolate chip camo for the most part in GW1, this is tri color, so it can't be gw1 camo ;)

I thought only US Marines wore the chocolate chip pattern in the first gulf war... regular US army had the same stuff they wear today mostly.

Therefor it could be...

I'm almost positive that the entire US military wore chocolate chip during the 1st Gulf War.

We all had chocolate chip cammies. The three-color desert came after the war.

Also, my AF and Army brethren call them DCUs and not BDUs. BDU is a woodland pattern. Real men call them cammies!

It's a SIG 543 produced by under licence by Manurhin in France in Mulhouse and delivered to the Lebanese Forces at the beginning of the 80s.

The "Nato Sniper" who killed the albanian is French.

As far as Mitrovica is concerned, since it's the only multi-ethnic pocket still in existence in Kosovo where Serbs are still in sizeable number, it's not surprising the clashes always happen there.

Well once again the Patria APC's depicted here belong to a Norwegian response-reinforcemen unit of KFOR
They have been reinforcing other KFOR elements at some place called Caglavica. Deploying in riot mode and blocking the way for an Albanian mob attempting to enter the given location.
1 Albanian civilian was shot dead when he tried to ram a Norwegian blocking unit with a truck.
2 Norwegian soldiers suffered light injuries when hit by the vehicle
About 18 other soldiers suffered injuries in clashes with demonstrators wielding stones, iron bars and other sorts of improvised weaponry.
8 of those back on ops allready.

This I also believe is a Danish unit.

It could be a Port Siad, but I also believe there was an even cheaper version of that, which the Egyptians also produced. That still seems to be the best guess. It was mentioned earlier, but its definitly not a MAT-49, and you can tell simply from the mag-well and housing which on the MAT-49 has a defined grip with finger swells and such.

Its still a 'battle dress uniform' at the end of the day.

But yeah, I mean, I must have been mistaken about the marine things with that camo. Don't know why I was thinking that then, maybe had something to do with marpat in my memory. Maybe thinking of somalia or something?

[quote Were not afraid to fly 'Old Glory'.[/quote]

It's mostly to show the Albanians that they are Americans; since the USA helped and favoured the Albanians from the beginning, this way they know they won't get bricked and bottled.

This picture can only have been taken in an Albanian area since the US have "national restrictions" on deploying troops to Serbian areas.

That means they just don't go in places where the Serbs are in majority so as not to provoke more riots since the Serbs hate the Americans because they favour the Albanians.

For example, you never see US soldiers in the North part of Mitrovica for that reason; if they have to come there, they are escorted by the French who are in charge of that sector and believe me, when the Americans come to North Mitrovica, they don't fly any flag.

It isn't a 9mm Port Said SMG or 9mm Akaba SMG.

In my opinion it is Palestinian own submachinegun or very altered version of existing one. Take a closer look to the magazine, probably comes from the UZI.

The French have mostly mixed areas (Serbs and Albanians, with a sprinkilng of turks and Bosnians); they also protect Serb enclaves in
Albanian areras. I would not say we have more problems with the Albanians; they are quiet (it helps their mafia when it's quiet) most of the time. They go on riots on orders, it's very well organized, and then everybody, not just the French are concerned.

It is true that most French troops favour the Serbs for the following reasons:

-they are much more like Europeans than Albanians
-they tend to have only one word unlike the Albanians and Bosnians who lie as a way of life
-they are Christians and much closer to us than the moslem Albanians
-the French army helped the Serbs during WW1
-France has always had good relations with Yugoslavia in the past (Tito times) because it respected its policy of non-alignement (not with the USA but not with the USSR either)
-they are violent and alcoholic but also vey sentimental; someone who was trying to fracture your skull during a face-to-face riot on Monday will get drunk with you on Tuesday...
-they are desperate because they can't understand why "white" Christian countries (USA, Germany...) are doing everyhting to favour the Albanians that are moslems and treacherous while doing at the same time everything to help the ethnic cleansing against the Serbs.

For those reasons and many others, it's easier to like the Serbs better than the Albanians. That does not mean we have no problems with them; when I was in Kosovo, the ratio of "incidents" was probably 45% Albanians and 55% Serbs. The difference was that the Albanians used grenades and petrol bombs when the Serbs were using more stone and fists.

To sum it up, after seeing what I saw in Kosovo, I would not piss on an Albanian if he was on fire; they are the most deceiving, lying, untrustworthy bunch of quick-breeding scum I have ever met. And they are arriving exactly where they wanted to go from the beginning: ethnic cleansing of Kosovo by killing, kidnapping or threatening the minority Serbian population, what the UN accused the Serbs of originally doing.

With full US backing from day one.

Thats the Jungle law, buddy.

When the Serbs were the majority, they f***ed the Albanians.

Now the Albanians are the majority, they **** the Serbs.

An Polish soldier of the NATO (news - web sites)-led peacekeeping force stands guard in Mitrovica, March 19, 2004. NATO troops raided apartment blocks in a Kosovo town on Friday after two days of serious violence which the alliance has blamed mainly on Albanian hardliners bent on driving out Serbs. *******/Arben Celi

This is a Polish policeman of UNIMiK... not a soldier.

There are all sort of camo BDU's used in the IDF but not as standard issue.
