Damn, that was no accident. Bush probably wants to go after Qaddafi soon and considering he has a bunch, they probably just wanted to test and see what explosives to use.

Guys, the thing was run down anyways. It is most likely that they didn't know what it was and even if they did there is not really much they would do. It would most likely just sit in the desert until it rotted away.

I've heard of stuff like this happening. Basically they can't requisition the truck for their own use, but they can't just leave it out there and let looters get to it. So, they blow it up...
I'm with jetsetter on this one. It was run down already as the article said, they're not allowed to keep it as a treasure thing so why leave it out there to rot away and be trashed? Hell, using it for explosives testing is a good thing!
From the article and the look of the photos, the car was probably buried to try to save it. I don't think Lamborghinis like being buried any more than MiGs do.
Look at it this way: with this neglected and rotting Lambo destroyed all the other well maintained examples just got more valuable.
I was thinking about this on the way to work today. I best remember the LM002 as the quirky truck thing in the PC Game "Stunts!" that was pretty much useless.
Sgt. Maj. - "We're oh, one and one
Gunny - "What?"
Sgt Maj. - "The Major said to me, 'Sargent Major, we're oh, one and one. No wins, one tie, Korea; and one loss, Vietnam.' oh, one and one."
Grenada was a success, although there were some serious problems with communications. The film points out these problems and also how the ass-in-the-grass Marine found ways to overcome them and get the job done. As "Gunny" Highway said: "Improvise. Adapt. Overcome."
The purpose of the invasion of Grenada was not to overthrow the new fledgling government, but to retrieve US students who were caught in the country during the coup. The operation succeeded in this goal.
that could of went to the next restoration rip off! lol.... probably wont of been popular.
call 0901 blah blah 2 to save saddam hussain's sons Lamborghini LM002
it would be funny to see may, hamming it up in iraq covering its back story and all the children its ran over, and then it would get no votes because the man is a definition of pure evil. then it would of been a waste of the BBC's money
blowing up saddams sons oppression mobile is probably a good thing...who'd wanna buy it considering its associations.
