The Iraqi insurgent group Ansar al Islam released a short video showing three of its members allegedly targeting the U.S. Base at Mosul airport with a makeshift missile. The video shows the militants firing the missiles, but does not include footage of the actual attack. The statement accompanying the video claims the target had been hit.

The video was produced by the group's media wing Al Ansar Media Foundation.
