SAS: Iranian Embassy Siege (2002)

Yeah, the Iraqi angle was new to me as well.

I'd expect the host nation would have to handle it. I doubt many countries would be cool with a foreign nation's security force showing up and hanging around until the assault happened, plus support and logistics would be nightmarish.

The worst thing about 6 Days is the title. On day 2, you know that they aren't going in...

MP5 goodness. Oh, so sweet.

This is what made everyone want an MP5 so badly.

So I knew a couple guys who were trained by at least one instructor involved in the raid and they said "6 Days" was mostly there without giving away stuff that they want to keep secret. They obviously wanted to tell an entire story, including the story of the reporter, the cop on the inside and even the terrorists as well.

I liked seeing the tidbit that were attempts to portray accurate gear and tactics.

If you want the hands down best documentary of the SAS find the DVD "The SAS In Action." Incredible detail.

I think I have seen that. Did it feature Phil Campion, have stories of an op in Africa and Basrah?

I have not been around them (SAS) a lot (I did an exchange with RMC and while there worked with SBS), but really enjoyed the few times I worked with them.

Probably the same. But yeah, they covered everything in amazing detail. I was shocked by the amount of actual footage taken by the SAS of the Iranian Embassy raid.
