U.S. General: Iraqi Insurgents Aim for Big Attack
 Iraqi insurgents appear to be holding back on their violence in order to make a "more spectacular" attack just before or on next Sunday's national elections, a U.S. general said on Monday. Air Force Brig. Gen. Erv Lessel, deputy director of operations in Iraq, said in an interview from Baghdad with CNN said that there had been a 50 percent drop in attacks by insurgents in recent days... "We've had nearly 2,000 suspects detained just in the last two weeks. We've been discovering nearly a 100 weapons caches each week and every day more and more Iraqis are coming forward with more intelligence information," he said.Of course, capturing the #1 car-bomb maker and rounding up 2,000 boyz and their toys has nothing to do with it...
