    More Iraq car bombs, at least 15 dead, DHL plane hit by missile

    Car bombs hit Iraq police stations

    BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Several car bombs have ripped through two Iraqi police stations Saturday morning near Baquba, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Baghdad, military officials have told CNN.

    Shortly before 8 a.m. (midnight ET, 0500 Saturday GMT), a car bomb hit the Baquba police station, the officials said. The U.S. military reported 15 to 25 civilian casualties.

    No coalition soldiers were injured in the attack.

    About 30 minutes later, two car bombs hit the Khan Bani Sa'ad police station north of Baquba.

    In a separate attack, a DHL airliner landed at Baghdad International Airport with one of its engines on fire after it was hit by a surface-to-air missile, according to Coalition Provisional Authority sources.

      What is the point of attacking a DHL plane? Prevent the mail from being delivered?
      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

        I guess they just want to cause trouble without even worrying about what they are attacking?

          Seems a bit of a waste of a missile, but I suppose they're not the brightest bunch over there.

                    How does a DHL plane get hit by a SAM and still manage to fly and land?

                        Well, it wasn't that model of plain. This plain only has 1 engine.

                        In a separate attack, a DHL airliner landed at Baghdad International Airport with one of its engines on fire after it was hit by a surface-to-air missile, according to Coalition Provisional Authority sources.

                            A shoulder fired 'stinger' missile is no where near a 'SAM' missile. ;-) A 'SAM' has a much larger warhead and shoots alot further. And if you tried to fire a 'SAM' from your shoulder, you'd land in Afghanistan or thereabouts. lmao

                                You basically did Brisk. ;-) You brought up Sms... they don't hide those very easily so *if* any sort of missile was used to hit that plane then it just about had to be a stinger. lol I thought guys read all about that sort of thing.

                                Hmmm rethinking how guys think.

                                      I never said anything about shoulder fired missiles.

                                      I did say something about SAMs (surface-to-air missiles), because that is what the CNN article mentions.

                                      Try reading people's posts, it helps.
