U.S. Robot Destroyed By Roadside Bomb in Iraq

On April 18, 2007, the Salahaldin Al-Ayoubi Brigades posted on Islamist websites a 60-second film featuring a U.S. robot being blown up in Iraq.

The film opens with footage of a robot examining a suspicious roadside object. The object, which was apparently booby-trapped, eventually explodes, completely destroying the robot. U.S. troops then appear on the scene, and collect the robot's remains.

Below is an image taken from the film:
