Our guys should get medals when they think up better ways to kill more terrorists.
This technique was stolen from New Yorkers. We used to leave our cars on the Long Island Expressway after dark.... 8~)
Hey it is a good plan. If it was me I would plant a bug on the stuff and pay a visit to the building it travels to.
How about if the bait is covered?
A few dollars in a bag under a table would draw “hilaries” like flies are drawn to dirty Hsu’s!
Now THAT”S a plan !!!!
I like the way you think, cuz I was thinking the same thing...
This makes my trigger finger itch.
Yes, I'm sure when a 8 year wanders near by, they squeeze off a shot and mark off a notch on their sniper rifle

These traps are not put in place outside active elementary schools. They are laid in area were IED builders go for “supplies”. Old Iraqi army ammo dumps are off limits. Placing ordnance in areas under observation is bringing the rats to the cheese. Picking it up and attempting to leave a prohibited area with it is evidence of intent and makes the perp a legal target... Stay out of prohibited areas, leave bomb making material alone and no foul. Enter and scavage for prohibited items and get penalized.
since most Iraqi houses out in the bondocks have at least one AK-47 and ammo, there is no reason for a kid to go out and pick up some blasting caps and primacord or wire.
First of all, the kids wouldn’t know what to do with it so they wound not pick it up, esp. if it were near any Army base.
Secondly, since there is a lot of old war garbage lying around Iraq, and some of it is extremely dangerous, a parent would tell their kids to stay away from anything that even looks strange or like a weapon/ammo on the ground.
My son spent time marking Gulf War I ordnance he and his unit found in Iraq so that no one would get hurt.
Iraq is the biggest armaments depot in the world so only those savy as to what they are looking for on the ground, would go out and take it. Then, POW, one less terrorist.
I’ve seen films of this and our guys take a lot of care to make sure that they have a legitimate target.
And who is this FIDEL? Never heard of him. Does he have a beard?
What did they BAIT them with? A slab of pork?
used to love shooting rats at the dump...
The same parents might remove loose weapons or ammo, in order to remove a hazard to the neighborhood.
Targets? Not enough information from the article to answer that question.
I can tell you what I really wanted to do at that moment but I need my job.
That’s what good snipers do, geez.
