DUBAI, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Islamists battling the U.S. occupation of Iraq are trumpeting their "victories against the infidels" through video clips posted on extremist Web sites.

At least two Islamist sites, accessed by Reuters on Wednesday, showed brief clips documenting what was described as attacks by the mujahideen, or Islamic fighters, on U.S. troops in Iraq.

The grainy images showed what appeared to be a U.S. military vehicle being struck by mortars, and a roadside explosion targeting what seemed to be another U.S. vehicle.

There was nothing in the videos to indicate where or when the incidents took place and they did not show any bodies.
