| More on the Captured Emirs of Ansar al Sunna |

| Two points that make me curious: 1) How did we manage to roll up such a large group of similarly placed people? 2) How do we know that these people are what we say? The answer to both questions is in who 'ratted them out' - is he reliable or not? And if he is, I can't imagine he's not suspected by whatever forces are remaining in that organization, so either we've taken him into protection or he's taking over that organization. BAGHDAD, Iraq – On Wednesday, the Government of Iraq released the names and photos of several suspected senior-level Ansar al Sunna emirs who were captured by Coalition Forces during a series of raids in mid-November. The AAS network is responsible for improvised explosive device attacks and suicide attacks on Iraqi government, Coalition Forces and Iraqi civilians. The AAS network is also responsible for multiple kidnappings, small arms attacks and other crimes in the central and northern part of Iraq. One terrorist emir, Abu Mohammed aka Ismail, AAS Emir of Yusifiyah was killed during a raid late November. The suspected Ansar al Sunna emirs who were captured are: National level - Ramadan Muhammad Salih Ahmad (Bilbas) aka Abu Mustafa, AAS Emir of Iraq. Abu Mustafa is a founding member of AAS. - Taha Ahmad Pir-Dawud Ahmad (Surchi) , aka Hajji Said, Senior AAS representative and al-Qaida facilitator. - Adnan Abdallah Alaywi Muhammad (al-Ithawi) &ID=174278" target=_blank>‘Adnan ‘Abdallah ‘Alaywi Muhammad (al-‘Ithawi) , aka Abu Jaffar, AAS Secretary. He was Abu Mustafa’s personal assistant and he was responsible for arranging AAS senior-level meetings. Regional level - Hatim Abd-al-Ghafar Muslim Muhammad (al Shimar) , aka Abu Taha, AAS Emir of Al Qa’im and Western al Anbar. He allegedly was a Colonel in the Iraqi Army before the war. - Abd-al-Basit Abd-al-Razzaq Hasan Ali (al-Abbasi) , aka Abu Asim, AAS Emir of Tikrit. - Ali Hasayn Ali Abdallah (Zandi) , aka Abu Bandar, AAS Emir of Baqubah. - Amjad Abd-al-Sattar Muhammad Ali (al-Tai) , aka Abu Najila, AAS Emir of Ramadi and Eastern al Anbar. - Said Jasim Muhammad Khudayyir al-Jadid (al-Juwaynat) , aka Abu Sayf, AAS Emir of Bayji. - Husayn Khudayyir Abbas Majid (al-Zubaydi) , aka Abu Husayn, AAS Emir of Bazayiz. - Salih Khudayyir Salman Jadi (al-Juburi) , aka Sajad, AAS Emir of Fallujah. This is another step closer to defeating al-Qaida in Iraq and helping establish a safe and peaceful Iraq. Coalition Forces will continue to target not only senior al-Qaida in Iraq leaders, but all associated terrorist movements like Ansar Al Sunna. They will be identified, captured and prosecuted for their crimes. So who's left to ordain their new priests, or however they work it? |
