| (KUNA) -- Troops of the Multi-National Force (MNF) have recently captured and killed 246 terrorists in Baghdad, an official spokesman said on Sunday. Qassem Atta, the official spokesman of the law enforcement plan, said at a news conference that the MNF troops killed 41 terrorists, arrested 232 others, in addition to 446 suspected insurgents, from March 27 to April 7. Haitham Abdullah and Haider Rasheed, wanted for killing 900 people and wounding 4,000 others, were among the insurgents who were detained, he said. The forces freed 26 kidnapped people and confiscated 104 chlorine tanks in Alatham area north of the capital. Atta said his forces confiscated a large cache of concealed arms including 518 weapons, 198 explosives and 10 booby-trapped cars. |

| #7 I wish they were more specific, so these claims would appear accurate. The way this is announced, it seems everyone is counted two or three or four times. If this is accurate, then it represents a major dent in the insurgency. Let's hope so. |

| #6 Captured and (then) killed, maybe? Sounds like someone got ahold of the RAB counter-insurgency manual. |

| #4 You are correct Verlaine. Never apply force when all you really need to do is use a bigger hammer. |

| #3 I'm so depressed. We all know there are no military solutions to these situations. Here we are, trying to win a test of wills and violence by applying our will and using violence. So, so ... unsophisticated. |

| #1 What's the point in arresting people you've just killed? KUNA needs some help from the Grammar emergency team. |
