BAGHDAD -- A Web video surfaced Sunday showing an alleged insurgent
crawling under a U.S. military vehicle in Iraq and purportedly planting
explosives in full daylight. Seconds later, the video cuts to an
explosion ripping the vehicle apart.

The footage was stamped with the emblem of the Islamic State of Iraq,
an al-Qaida-linked militant group that disavows Iraq's elected government
and seeks to establish Muslim law.

The video _ posted on an Islamic Web site that frequently airs insurgent
messages _ was first found by Intelcenter, a U.S. group that tracks
extremist messages. The video's contents and authenticity could not be
independently verified.

There were no casualties, the vehicle was empty, just a serious amount of embarassment.
