Reporter children on the back of a tractor made off with a sizable tangled lump of metal. What was all too often the cause of nightmares now a trophy of war. Proudly shown off by this man. We want to take these pieces to show them to the other villages, he says. Let them see what happened to these planes. Everyone we speak to here describes the fear they felt any time they heard a jet overhead. For them, this is the greatest victory.
