| 2003-03-25 |
| An Iraqi Kurdish official declared here on Tuesday that American forces have been observed in the costumes of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in the city of Halabja since Monday. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told IRNA that the American forces appearing in PUK clothing are armed. Weapons being an official part of any PUK costume. He added that no more details were disclosed on the said US troops, but their presence in the city is confirmed. "The presence of the American forces in Halabja indicates that PUK ground onslaughts on the Ansar al-Islam positions are imminent," he concluded. These would be SF troops blending in just like Afghanistan. About time for Ansar to go bye-bye. |
