| Suspected Iraqi mastermind in DHL attack dies in US custody |
| 2003-12-30 |
| Hope it was painful! The chief suspect in the striking of a DHL air carrier here last month died in US custody after soldiers wounded him in a firefight, US Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt told reporters. "Ziad Sahid, a former director of military intelligence ... suspected of responsibility for attacks on coalition forces to include the downing of the DHL jetliner, died in a coalition medical facility of wounds received during a targeted raid on his complex," Kimmitt said. Sahid died Saturday, he said. But it was not clear when troops raided his house in the course of its week-old Operation Iron Grip, a mission combining heavy weapons fire on suspected rebel positions and sweeps for top suspects around Baghdad.

| #5 a situation comedy where new rich Jihadi meets old money Mafia in suburban Peoria is a natural. "Witness Potection", coming this summer on Fox. Watch the zany antics of a young federal agent (Jenny McCarthy) as she |
