I am almost certain that you must have been seeing some old news footage of the cruise missile strikes that where done in the late 90' early 2000 after USS Cole and the embassy bombings.A very "special" unit that does "special" things had a building near my old shop on base if something would have happened we would have known.I can say that some "special" guys started showing up at the "special" place on the 12th and they had long hair and wore civilian clothes and one had been in Somalia back in 1993 with Delta.

interesting, yes this could have been to illustrate earlier strikes. IIRC - and I was quite non-sober
- they said later that it was some inner-Afghan fighting, between different fractions. But it just came back to my mind when writing down my memories of this day, have to check it out again. We watched NTV - if you remember this station, the only 24h news channel we had at this time, and a real lousy one - I can imagine that they used stock footage to bring some dramatic "news".
