I tried looking for it for a while, but could not find it. I hope someone else can find it for you.

I don't remember where I found the following; dang it! I didn't get the URL! Anyway, maybe you can google it (try the 'images' tab) and find it that way.

A mural in Iraq depicts an airplane slamming into buildings resembling the World Trade Center towers. On 26 March 2003, a mural showing an airplane crashing into one of two tall vertical buildings and setting it aflame (while a second airplane approaches the other building) was discovered by U.S. Marines searching Iraqi military headquarters in Nasiriya. The plane in this cheerily-hued painting bears the logo and color scheme of Iraqi Airlines.

The now famous photo, which shows two Marines in front of the mural, was taken by Joe Raedle, a photo journalist accompanying the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force from Task Force Tarawa.

No comment has so far been offered as to whether the mural pre-dates the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City or whether it was painted afterwards in celebration of same.
