| 2003-12-11 |
| Didn’t see this posted yesterday, Fred, but delete if already reported here. U.S. troops shot and killed a senior officer of the paramilitary group Saddam Fedayeen after storming his house in Mosul on Wednesday, his neighbors said. "Fatimah, I see lightning outside. Is a storm approaching?" The U.S. Army confirmed there were raids early Wednesday in Mosul but refused to comment on the reported death of Col. Ghanem Abdul-Ghani Sultan al-Zeidi. "We [giggle] can say [smirk] no more [chuckle]!" Two of al-Zeidi’s neighbors, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said U.S. troops stormed his one-story house in Mosul’s central neighborhood of al-Sukar at about 4:00 a.m. and Good calvaryman always brings his horse. The gate of al-Zeidi’s house was locked Wednesday afternoon. There were several bullet holes in the gate. A black banner nearby read: " And they’re sore losers, too. Capt. Brian Cope, a spokesman for the 2nd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division, refused to comment on al-Zeidi’s death. Cope confirmed that the army carried out raids Wednesday against "35 separate targets" in Mosul. Cope, whose brigade controls Mosul, said dozens of people were captured in the raids including suspected members of Saddam Fedayeen and other former regime loyalists. "Call CENTCOM and get an extra barrel of giggle juice up here, pronto!" Hours after the raid, "Believed"? Uday and his younger brother Qusay were killed by U.S. troops in Mosul in July. In other news, today marks the 153rd day since Uday Hussein last raped an Iraqi woman. U.N. officials were at a loss to explain how this happened. |

| #4 A black banner nearby read: "The heroic martyr Colonel Ghanem Abdul-Ghani Sultan al-Zeidi was martyred during a blatant aggression by American forces at his house on 12/10/2003." Sounds like something that would be printed in a Palestinian schoolbook. |

| #3 I wonder if the soldiers were watching who put the banner up on the 'colonels' house? |
