"Chuck just called again. He wants some numbers. And he wants them now!"
(KUNA) -- The security plan imposed in the Iraqi capital Baghdad five months ago has so far resulted killed 428 insurgents and defusing 133 car bombs, said Iraqi army spokesman on Thursday. As part of the Baghdad Law Enforcement Plan, said the Brigadier Qassim Atallah, joint Iraqi-US forces also released some 315 abducted people and defused 1443 explosive devices in the city. The plan also resulted in the detention of many suspected terrorist, and the discovery of 3,197 unlicensed weapons as well as 4,642 kg of TNT.

Iraqi Vice President Tareq Al-Hashemi had criticized the Baghdad security plan and said it was no longer legal following two booby-trapped car explosions yesterday that killed many civilians while celebrating the Iraqi soccer team's qualification for the Asian Cup finals. Baghdad is witnessing a considerable decline in sectarian violence since the implementation of Law Enforcement Plan and the proliferation of security elements in the suburbs of Baghdad.
