MOSUL, IRAQ: A US soldier from the Stryker Brigade combat team, 2nd Infantry Division, points his machine gun to an Iraqi man while patrolling the centre of Mosul 400 kms north of Baghdad, 05 April 2004. Up to nine coalition soldiers and 24 Iraqis were killed and more than 200 people wounded in Baghdad, after radical Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr urged his supporters to "terrorize" the enemy, while top US lawmakers called for more US troops in Iraq.

Aaah PPSh-41. Never thought I would see that again in a conflict.

More importantly, note the very fair complexion, blondish beard, pointy nose, and hazel eyes. I think we have here a Mujahid.

For Spanish ,were this airborne soldier is?(waht is he protecting, is something near Guadalajara)

They are in the Pantano de Bolarque (Bolarque dam). Blowing up one of Madrid's dams would give us a big problem with water.

Not an APC. Anyone who has ever ridden an "88" can tell you that there is NO room inside this beast. Great recovery vehicle. I once saw an "88" drag an upside down M60 (tank) up the side of a mountian. Pretty crazy.
