Iraq
Iranian Intel Officer & Qaeda Leader Killed in Same Raid!
2007-09-12
H/T Gateway Pundit
As General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker were testifying in front of Congress yesterday about Iran seeking to "create a Hezbollah-like force" in Iraq, US forces killed an Iranian Intelligence officer in a raid in Samarra. US forces also killed an Al Qaeda leader in the same raid!
Double-plus excellent!
Baghdad - An Iranian intelligence officer and an al-Qaeda terrorist network leader in Salahaddin province were killed in a US raid in the city of Samarra, while three people were killed and 13 wounded in another US attack in eastern Baghdad's Sadr City, sources said Tuesday. Twelve militants, including the reported Iranian intelligence officer and the al-Qaeda leader Abu Obeid al-Jazaeri, were killed in the US raid carried out Monday in Samarra, 125 kilometres north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, in Salahaddin province, according to an official report.

The unnamed intelligence officer was carrying an Iranian passport, but the report gave no further details. The al-Jazaeri's wife was also killed in the operation.

#6  Iff true, 'tis NOT GOOD for Iran = Iran's credibility. IMHO/IMPO A LARGER, MORE SERIOUS EVENT(S) MAY PROVE TO BE THE FINAL CATALYST FOR DE FACTO US-IRAN CONFLICT, AND BEFORE 2008!? E.G. a"proven" Iran-led/ordered, destructive, US casualty-intensive attack on a mil convoy(s) or mil basing(s). *FREEREPUBLIC POSTER [paraphrased] > Incidents like this one show Iran is already forced intervening in Iraq agz US and IGA interests, even contrary to the UNO. WHICH INCIDENT WILL BE THE ONE TO GOAD THE USA INTO INVADING, AND HOW MANY US SOLDIERS WILL DIE IN SAID INCIDENTS BEFORE IRAN IS STOPPED?
