Mission In & Out : Objective VIP Elimination

Gentlemen your target for this mission is Head of the Military Council: Iyad al-Ubaydi, aliases: Fadel Hayfa, Abu Saleh al-Ubaydi, and Abu Saleh al-Hayfa. al-Ubaydi in his fifties and a former officer in Saddam Husayn’s military. After the regime fell, al-Ubaydi joined Kataib Thawrat al-Ishreen (The 1920s Revolution Brigade) in May 2003.

Al-Ubaydi was imprisoned by the Americans in Camp Bucca in 2006; when he was released is unclear. It was in prison that al-Ubaydi was converted to jihadism.
Al-Ubaydi took over the amniyat or intelligence file after Adnan al-Suwaydawi was killed and later was promoted to run the military

In & Out
We drive to XXX and are stopped outside the walled city by a Technical carrying four Gunmen.  I open up with the 249 and kill the Technical driver 2 shots from Smith and One from Baynes .50 cal eliminates the Gunmen.

We make our way through some low level Ruins. Baynes hanging back as the Barrett is a bit unwieldy at close quarters. Movement up ahead, we haven’t been spotted, as I close for a quiet kill Baynes takes out a Sniper to our left. My quarry suddenly bursts from cover and pretty much runs onto my knife. I take the Radioman’s radio – you never know

Catwalk
Baynes & Smith take advantage of the high ground. While I walk auto fire towards the Insurgents. Firing from range suppressing them then closing to kill
Baynes and Smith are covering from an elevated position. 2 Ranger Squads are moving forward and suddenly we are amongst it.
I take a knee behind cover and open up on the enemy. I can see a tribal leader but he’s well screened by his followers. Then suddenly he isn’t as Baynes looses 2 rounds from dropping 2 bodies. Sounding like a puppy in comparison to Baynes M82’s bark, Smith’s M40A2 takes down the Leader and luckily, the Suicide Bomber rushing towards us. for my part I take out the opfors LMG. The RPG Team fail to get a round away and are punished by I put a burst into the loader and Baynes relieves the other of his head.

Alley
The mission takes on a weird turn. At the far end of the alley two gunmen appear flanking our target. Not one to have to be asked twice Smith drops the Gunmen while Baynes takes the HVT.
