"Remarkable" decline within multinational forces losses in Iraq
2006-07-01
The US-led multinational forces in Iraq have observed a remarkable decline in its losses and that 74 percent of terrorist attacks have its focus on innocent civilians, said on Thursday the spokesman of the forces, Maj.Gen. Willian B. Caldwell IV. Addressing a news conference, Caldwell said at least 60 to 70 foreign terrorists are killed in Iraq every month. He noted that 57 foreign fighters were killed at the hands of American and Iraqi forces since early June.

At least 587 terrorist suspects have been detained in the week ending June 28, the spokesman said, expressing believe that most of the foreign fighters who are taking part in armed operations in Iraq were of Egyptian nationality. "Most of the foreign fighters taking part in attacks in Iraq are Egyptians, followed by Syrians, Sudanese and Saudis", he said.

He said the objective of the multinational forces is to arrest the number one suspected terrorist "Abo Ayoub al Masri", who took over control of al Qaeda in Iraq after the killing of Abu Musaab al Zarqawi earlier this month.

On the mission of the border guard force, Caldwell said the force was operating well in suspending terrorist infiltrations into Iraq.

#1  Sudanese? Is the war back home not good enough for them? Or did they work their way up in Al Qaeda, and take a transfer to the main office?
