beetle in un bombing iraq
Bugged Again - August 20th, 2003 at 08:51 AM

Seems to have survived better than the building
Anyone think they could restore it???

OK I kinda understand the resentment to the U.N. and U.S. interests... but can't they move some stuff before they take the truck bomb there!

the hoodjax seem to be fitted incorrectly

Looks like a pre 67 easy restoration more than likely its has NO rust.

Poor little beetle - killed in the car bomb blast that ripped through the UN headquarters in Baghdad.

Condolensces of course to the 15+ people that were killed but surely this is taking terrorism too far? :cussing

I think that there should be an organisation set up to provide human shield protection to prevent VW's in the Middle East from being detonated, it would only require one volunteer per car

Coulda been worse, coulda been a Kombi. :D

There was actually a bomb in that Beetle..

I was actually wired into the motor and electronics of the vehicle precisely, however in traditional VW fashion, the bomb failed to work as well as planned. :D

Read the paper later today, it was a pretty bad blast, amazing that it stood up so well

It is the pic in all the papers by the looks
