Tal Afar Mosque Hideout Hit
2005-09-06
Unable to suppress a barrage of machine gun and rocket propelled grenade fire from insurgents holed up in a armory mosque in the Sarai district of Tal Afar, Iraq, coalition forces called in helicopter gunships to stop the enemy salvo, Multinational Force Iraq officials reported today. Seven terrorists were killed in the Sept. 4 helicopter counterattack at a mosque in eastern Tal Afar described as a Takfirist meeting place. No injuries to U.S. personnel were reported, officials noted.

When Iraqi police recently moved in to search a black car with two men inside that they'd stopped at a checkpoint, they found a wounded insurgent and another terrorist trying to eat a note that described an attack on a coalition forces' forward operating base, officials said. The car was also loaded with

bomb-making materials, including five telephone receivers, six radios, two cell phones, one wired to a radio, six washing machine timers, five extended-range antennae and batteries. The men also had $1,400 in $100 U.S. bills, according to officials.

The Iraqi police and {US} soldiers made the discovery after hastily setting up a traffic checkpoint to search cars coming from the direction of automatic-weapons fire. The Task Force Baghdad soldiers were conducting security operations north of Baghdad when they joined with Iraqi police in capturing the terrorists, officials said. The wounded terrorist was taken to a hospital for treatment. Both men were detained for further questioning.

#1  I just saw a documentary called Super Dollar, a counterfeiting ring they have partially busted. These near perfect dollars are printed in NK, sent via diplomatic courier to Moscow, where ex-KGB agents distribute it through the Russian Mafia. They get it to Dublin, where the IRA distributes it through various channels in the UK, particularly ttheir great banking and financial institutions. Only a few were actually arrested and prosecuted but the Secret Service was concerned that these bogus bills continue to finance terrorism and few can detect them by eye. The colored paper and green ink stain are duplicated and some have even thought they are printed on an official US printing press, of which Goss Printing has been the sole manufacturer of. At one time, Iran was thought to be in possession of one...perhaps that was the payment for their missile technology to Kim? The film said they frequently mixed the real and bogus bills and no one but a few key players knew it or even exactly what was going on. Has anyone checked to see if any of this recovered money is legit?
