AP's just noticing this? Geraldo was on top of it before they even knew who the dead guy was.
U.S. troops killed a key lieutenant to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a militant with suspected ties to al-Qaida, the military said Tuesday.
Oh, we're just talking about the deader some more... | Abu Mohammed Hamza, believed to have been a bombmaker for al-Zarqawi, was killed Thursday in Habaniyah after U.S. troops came under fire while distributing leaflets, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said. The troops returned fire, killing Hamza, he said.
Geraldo sez it was a unit of 3rd ACR and that Hamza shot one of our guys, hitting him in the face. Our guy blew Hamza away before retiring alive, kicking, but with a massive toothache from the field... | Kimmitt, the coalition deputy operations chief, said several people were arrested. He said troops searching the house where Hamza was killed found "a large quantity" of bomb-making materials and explosives, pro-Saddam Hussein literature and pictures of al-Zarqawi. Troops found a Jordanian passport on Hamza but were still trying to confirm his nationality, Kimmitt said. |
