They advanced, but suddenly something under the car exploded, one of the wheels broke, and they stood aside. They started shooting at them with automatic weapons, the windshield shattered, and then a hail of bullets that one sees only in the movies rushed towards them. The camera was along the road while the car was shot in a sieve. Video in the substance of the sky It can be viewed or seen.
The shots were so accurate, they all hit the car. The British shouted to reporters, but the attackers were not impressed. Reporter Stuart Ramsey was shot in the hip and the photographer was shot twice in his bulletproof vest.
