Documentary-maker Captures Video of Taliban Attack on U.S. Troops

A new report details the exploits of Norwegian journalist Paul Refsdal, who while embedded with the Taliban in Afghanistan, captures dramatic footage of Taliban fighters "attacking U.S. convoys on a road below their mountainous hide-out and celebrating hits with a high-five."

The footage, which had been posted to YouTube but has since been removed due to a copyright claim by Journeyman Pictures, is detailed in the report:

The attack itself involves a radio  discussion with another unit closer to the Tarmac road which American army men are forced to use everyday.

Over the radio, a commander says: 'Allah make our enemies perish. I seek refuge in you. Alllah make the mujahaideen victorious.'

Then the man's voice can be heard saying: 'Use the rocket launcher Rafiq, fire the launcher.'

Meanwhile, Dawran's men are using a heavy-calibre machine gun to fire on the Humvee armoured vehicles, apparently destroying one.

They celebrate with a high-five and moments later singing can be heard over the radio.
