On his recent visit to Iraq, UN secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon must have crapped his pants when a mortar round landed during his press conference. Here's a clip I found on YouTube. Enjoy.

Hahaha! As Mr. Ban ducked for cover, Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, who was standing right beside him, didn't even flinch. It's almost as if the explosion is something that he sees everyday, which unfortunately may be not very far from the truth.

What made the whole thing even funnier is that the rocket struck while Ban was talking about the UN's commitment to a peaceful Iraq. Wow, those insurgents sure have an ironic sense of humor... and excellent comic timing too. Maybe they should consider changing careers.
