BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE - In this undated image made from a video posted on an insurgent website, a Humvee is struck by an explosion in an incident that Shiite militia Asaib Ahl al-Haq claims was an attack on U.S. troops on Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010 in Basra, Iraq. Nearly four minutes of shaky, hand-held video clips show roadside bombs hitting U.S. convoys, a battery of Katyousha rockets and a soldier who appeared to be downed by sniper fire. And in the left-hand corner is the raised-rifle emblem of a Shiite militia considered to have ties with Iran.
