Network claims Tactical nuke went up in October 11th Falcon Base Camp.

From JUS Global Islamic Media Aliance Video (Arabic commentary) - On October 11, 2006, a Tactical Nuclear Device appears to have exploded when fire broke out in an ammunition dump at Camp Falcon (Camp Al-Saqr) 8 miles outside Baghdad. See photos here.

Video from live nightly newscast in Baghdad caught the detonation - miles away - with it's characteristic ENORMOUS blinding white flash, a rising core of fire then a small mushroom cloud!

This video is 5.21 and the explosion is at 4.50 + mins , whatever it is exploding it's a big mutha fucker.If it was a nuke radioactive emissions would be readily detectable.

At the time General Cadwell in a DoD briefing in Baghdad (Oct 12, 2006) made the following statement (there has been a news blackout since).

First of all, I'll take on the Falcon attack. It was caused by indirect fire, a mortar that did in fact hit our ammunitions supply point there, which caused a tremendous amount of secondary and tertiary explosions that occurred throughout the night there. There's that one articular area which fled into another area -- did in fact go off all night.

Very fortunately, no coalition forces or Iraqi security forces were injured, nor civilian casualties that anybody's aware of at this point. We lost some munitions, but took no personnel casualties.

Euronews has another video of the explosion (55 secs) plus shots of damage outside the camp the following day.

TBR News has an excellent report dated Friday 20th which claims 300 dead US soldiers, the loss of US$1 Bn of materiel, including 6 Apache helicopters and a reported 160 Iraqi military amd assorted civilians. Retaliatory strikes killing 120 civlians were made by aerial forces seemingly at random around Baghdad allegedly firing at the source of mortar / rocket attacks.

SF Indymedia has a lengthy report as well confirming huge numbers of casualties carried to Al Habbaniyah hospital in 9 cargo / Red Cross planes.

Global Research has a report dated 22nd October confirming much of the above reports.

Whatever happened that night, we shall never be told, but it has evidently had a massive impact upon the US resolve / ability to fight.
