BAGHDAD, Iraq — A homicide truck bomb ripped through a line of vehicles waiting at a checkpoint Friday in Fallujah and killed at least seven civilians. Authorities in the capital discovered the bodies of six men who were blindfolded, handcuffed and shot in the back of the head, police said.

Looks worse that it was actually. The tread was blown off and the outside caught fire, but the crew all escaped unharmed.
Saying that though, it must of been a fair sized bomb, and been extremely close to do that amount of damage!
This type of shaped charge bomb was first used by the IRA here in the UK in the early 1970's, after training in middle east camps ie Libya / Syria. Strange to see the same pattern migrating through the world isn't it? Just shows that all terror groups are one and the same in their methods and training.
Glad the crew escaped unharmed.
