Murphy's Law: January 31, 2002

There's a series of photos going around that purport to show an armored vehicle full of Taliban in Afghanistan being blasted by an American bomb. However, we got an identical set of images in April, 2001, that purported to show an armored vehicle full of Russian soldiers in Chechnya being blasted by a rebel land mine. We don't know if this hoax has been exposed yet, where it came from or what the people behind it were thinking. Just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you see on the internet.
