Iraq
Ramadi insurgent chief captured
2005-11-11
US troops in western Iraq captured a suspected high-ranking insurgent leader during a raid on a home near Ramadi, an insurgent stronghold, a military statement said Wednesday. There were no casualties during the operation, conducted Saturday by Task Force 2-69 Armor, which netted Majid Adnon Swedowi and five other individuals, the statement said. The US military alleged that Swedowi led an insurgent cell in Ramadi responsible for roadside bombs and attacks against coalition forces. Swedowi was also believed to be involved in kidnapping and extortion, the military said. The statement said the quickly executed raid was based on intelligence reports that Swedowi was in the home. Another alleged insurgent leader was captured by the same task force on Nov 1.

#1  So when you catch an enemy that's not in uniform, traditionally you hang him.
