Yep. Almost certainly an RPG of some sort - one with a relatively modern

warhead, unlike the obsolete RPG-7s the Iraqis normally use. (Which is
pretty much the conclusion the article eventually ends, after all the
initial mumbo-jumbo...)

I was HOPING you'd pipe up on the topic, seeing as you're the group's De Facto
expert on such things. I was kind of confused by the article, at first it made
it sound like the Iraquis were testing a man-portable
gauss weapon or something, and then it concluded with the RPG info. Seemed
kind of sensationalistic....
