Osamanauts launch attacks across Iraq, kill 8, wound dozens
2008-01-01
Happy New year, AQI-style. But casualties quite low for the multiple attacks.
[M]ilitants belonging to Al-Qaeda Organization in Iraq killed eight persons and injured dozens of others in separate attacks across Iraq Monday. The gunmen attacked three police stations in Al-Khales town, Diala governorate, north Baghdad. Two persons including an awakening council militiaman and a policeman were killed and three others including a captain were injured in the attacks, a security source told KUNA.

Three other persons were killed and ten others were injured in a separate attack in Deli Abbas town, north Baaqoba governorate.

Suspected Al-Qaeda militants killed three persons in an attack against Tal Al-Zahab town, Salah-Eddin governorate, north Baghdad, the source added.

The attacks came 24 hours after Al-Qeada leader Osama Bin-Laden warned the Iraqi Sunnis against joining the pro-government awakening councils.

#6  Uncle bin promised dire consequences (tm) for the disbelievers - not sure if this tops serving roasted children though. Targeted attacks it would appear. Perhaps the lawyers could focus on kicking AQ out before working on Blackwater.

Personally, I think that the ebb will be in a couple of weeks, allowing hotheads from haj and bhutto enthusiasts to rally, buy some hashish(ari), and get some good ol gun sex before going after leaders.

#4  If this is the best 'TET Offensive' that AQI can come up with, they're pathetic.

#3  We don't.

However, there have been rumors of a 'Tet Offensive' by Al Q. And the New Year is an optimum time to try to generate headlines.

#2  I wonder if this is the big "Tet offensive" that we were promised a while back?
