| 2007-03-31 |
| A crackdown on violence in Baghdad resulted in the arrest of 212 suspected insurgents and terrorists by multinational forces, officials said Saturday. Coalition military leaders labeled 50 of those captured in and around the Iraqi capital during the previous 48 hours as terrorists and the other 162 as suspects, the Kuwait News Agency said. The officials also said the multinational force had deactivated 11 bombs and freed one person who had been abducted, KUNA reported. However, they also said 12 police officers had been killed and 19 others were wounded. Meanwhile, the U.S. Army said it had detained 16 terrorists near Arab Jbour, south of Baghdad, during operations Friday night and early Saturday. |

| #1 On one level I love it, of course, kudos to the Iraqi and Coalition troops who are trying to do The Right Thing... but I have the usual observation / complaint: way too many "arrests" and "detentions", not nearly enough deaders. The Catch and Release program will get most of these back into circulation most rikki-tikki. |
