US says foreign fighters involved in resistance attacks
In Pakistan, Geo-TV aired an interview with Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, in which he again raised U.S. concerns about foreign fighters among the resistance cell in Iraq. "Certainly we know that there are foreign fighters that have flowed in through Syria, and in fact, 80 of them were engaged several weeks ago in a training camp, and they were not Iraqis," Myers said. The "engaged" and "they were not Iraqis" statement leads me to believe they are now taking a dirt nap. On Tuesday, the US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said that there were "some indications" that Lebanonâs Hizbullah may be trying "to harm our interests in an already confused situation" in Iraq. He did not offer any specifics but said foreign fighters from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan and Syria had been involved in armed attacks against US forces in Iraq. Since you canât tell nationality from DNA, Iâd guess they are finding ID cards on the bodies and taking prisoners. Somebody is making a list. Posted by: Steve 2003-07-30 |
