Hit?

Did the bus in fact get hit by a landmine as said (i.e. was one thrown or something) or did it in fact hit a stationary landmine, which is what I think it means? I have no time to read the sources now so clarification from someone would be great. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 06:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was hit by a claymore. A claymore is activated via a controller so I would guess that the bus was hit by a land mine. Watchdogb (talk) 12:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
