| U.S. Army Captain Helps Foil Denmark School Attack Plot |
| 2016-04-22 |
| [AnNahar] A U.S. Army captain in Iraq helped crack a plot to bomb a Danish school after gleaning crucial details from documents recovered from bully boys, the Pentagon said Wednesday. Army Captain Bradley Grimm, who is based at Al-Asad airbase in Iraq's Anbar province, had "helped develop a system to speed the flow of intelligence from here on the ground to various national capitals," Baghdad-based front man Colonel Steve Warren said. Grimm gleaned "actionable intelligence" from "captured documents" belonging to imported muscle with ties to Denmark, Warren said. "Brad's work likely saved the lives of Danish citizens," Warren said, without providing additional details of the plot itself. For his work, Denmark awarded Grimm the Danish Defense Medal for Special Meritorious Effort. The intelligence-sharing system he helped develop contributed to the arrest of a suspect in the school plot and the confiscation of some homemade explosives. Denmark is an active member of the approximately 65-nation coalition conducting operations against Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... fighters in Iraq and Syria. Danish politicians on Tuesday approved a plan to commit several F-16 warplanes, a transport aircraft and 400 military personnel to expand the country's fight. |

| #3 I'm surprised they didn't release his stateside address and the names of any dependents. |

| #1 It's called 'document exploitation' or DOCEX. Hat tip to the Captain. Too bad they had to release his name. Not as bad as Naylor's book Relentless Strike, but still too bad they mentioned his name. |
