The BBC's take on the story is here:

Apparently:
Harrier pilot 'couldn't identify the target', fired two phosphorous rockets that just missed our own compound so that we thought they were incoming RPGs [rocket-propelled grenades], and then strafed our perimeter missing the enemy by 200 metres
Just a thought, but (a) do we have WP heads for the CRV7 and (b) if strafing involves the use of a gun (which is, one assumes, what the Major means), how has an RAF Harrier pulled off this feat?
