[Announcer-read report over video.]

In a videotape, the Islamic Army group, one of the factions of the Political Council of the Iraqi Resistance, claimed credit for bombing the Al-Bakr Air Base with a rocket and mortar shells. The tape shows the moment the rockets fell, billowing smoke columns, and a US military aircraft flying over the site of the bombing. Al-Jazeera could not verify the authenticity of the video from an independent source.
