WASHINGTON (AP) — Men wearing hoods to hide their identity show off bombs hidden along an Iraqi roadside, praying they will kill U.S. troops, in videos shown Wednesday at the sentencing of the first war insurgent to be prosecuted in U.S. courts.

"Today, with God's help, and if the Americans enter, we will hit them with timed mine by way of remote," the defendant, Wesam al-Delaema says in one of about three dozen clips that prosecutors aired in federal court before he was to receive his sentence.

Assistant U.S. attorney Gregg Maisel said it's impossible to know whether the bombs on al-Delaema's video were detonated or killed any Americans.

Al-Delaema pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to murder Americans outside the United States and his agreement with prosecutors is that he will be sentenced to 25 years.

kill a couple hundred thousand Iraqis and you get a medal.
