[That mob should count themselves lucky as Saddam would have got the planes to bomb them-ed]
Tornado bombers came to the aid of Scottish troops surrounded by an angry mob in Iraq.
One of the aircraft screamed just 250ft overhead to scare off the crowd beseiging three Warrior armoured vehicles in Al Amarah.
The two RAF Lossiemouth-based GR4 jets were on a routine sortie when the pilots were diverted to the city.
The mob fled and the detachment from the 1st Battalion The Highlanders were able to leave the scene.
RAF and Army officers revealed details of the incident on Friday.
The aircraft from 12 (Bomber) Squadron are on a tour of the Gulf and are based in Al Udeid, Qatar.

Brute force if the only way to communicate with these people-Saddam knew this fact.

this so called mob likely was a group of civilians objecting to their home country being messed with !
